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

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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 is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.

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

The earth has music for those who listen.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

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.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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.

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