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?

We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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

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

Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

Play it fuckin' loud!

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

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