When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

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

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

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

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

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

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

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

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

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

The earth has music for those who listen.

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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.

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

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