And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

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

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

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

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

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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

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

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

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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.

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

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

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

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

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

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

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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.

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
