Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

I think another thing is that we don't really want exclusivity. We accept that it is in the artist's interest to be on sale in every place where they sell music.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song.

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.

And, in the end The love you take is equal to the love you make.

An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.

We're not trying to change the world; just music.

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.

Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.
