Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

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

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

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

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

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.

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

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.

Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.

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

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

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

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.

Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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