One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product.

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

Being a celebrity has taught me to hide, but being an actor has opened my soul.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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.

I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.

The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...

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

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside

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

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

The earth has music for those who listen.

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

The spoken form is in fact a very restrained representation of what is possible in the musical language.
