And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

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

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

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

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

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

Let silence be the art you practice.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

Play it fuckin' loud!

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.

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

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

I'm very happy to hear that my work inspires writers and painters. It's the most beautiful compliment, the greatest reward. Art should always be an exchange.

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

The earth has music for those who listen.
