Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

Let silence be the art you practice.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

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

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

Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.

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

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.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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

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.

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.

Real popular culture is folk art - coalminers' songs and so forth.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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

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

To play without passion is inexcusable!
