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

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.

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

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

To play without passion is inexcusable!

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

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.

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

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

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

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

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

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

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

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

Let silence be the art you practice.

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.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.
