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.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

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

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

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.

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

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

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

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

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

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

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.

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