Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

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

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.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

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

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

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

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

The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I`m on stage they`re not privileged to see me. It`s a privilege for me to see them.

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

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

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

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

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

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

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