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

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

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

Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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

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

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

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

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.

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.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.
