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

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

I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.

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

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

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

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

To play without passion is inexcusable!

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

The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

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

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.

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.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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

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

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

I think another thing is that we don't really want exclusivity. We accept that it is in the artist's interest to be on sale in every place where they sell music.
