I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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

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.

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

Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

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

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

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

Comedy is the blues for people who can?t sing.

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

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

Critics are the men who have failed in literature and art.

Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time
