After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Critics are the men who have failed in literature and art.
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.
Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.
The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Music with dinner is an insult, both to the cook and the violinist.
Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.
The earth has music for those who listen.
Let silence be the art you practice.
Being a celebrity has taught me to hide, but being an actor has opened my soul.
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
We're not trying to change the world; just music.
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.
To play without passion is inexcusable!
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.
