Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

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

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

The earth has music for those who listen.

Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.

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

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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

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.

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

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.

I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

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.

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

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

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

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.

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