The earth has music for those who listen.

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

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

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

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

Music with dinner is an insult, both to the cook and the violinist.

Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I`m on stage they`re not privileged to see me. It`s a privilege for me to see them.

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.

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.

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.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

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

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

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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