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

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

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

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.

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

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.

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

Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it.

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 a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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

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

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

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

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

To play without passion is inexcusable!
