Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.

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

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

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

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

The spoken form is in fact a very restrained representation of what is possible in the musical language.

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

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.

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.

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

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

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

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

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

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.
