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

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

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

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

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

I'm very happy to hear that my work inspires writers and painters. It's the most beautiful compliment, the greatest reward. Art should always be an exchange.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

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

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

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

Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside

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

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.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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.

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

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

Comedy is the blues for people who can?t sing.

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