Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.

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

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.

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

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

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

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

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

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

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

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

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.

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

Real popular culture is folk art - coalminers' songs and so forth.

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

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.
