Music with dinner is an insult, both to the cook and the violinist.

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.

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

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

We're not trying to change the world; just music.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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