I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

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.

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.

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

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

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

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

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

To play without passion is inexcusable!

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

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

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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

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

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

Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.

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

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

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

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.
