Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

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

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

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

Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.

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

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

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

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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.

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

An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
