People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song.
Comedy is the blues for people who can?t sing.
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
Play it fuckin' loud!
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?
Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time
I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Let silence be the art you practice.
Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time
I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.
Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
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.
Being a celebrity has taught me to hide, but being an actor has opened my soul.
Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.
Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
