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.

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

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

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

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

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

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

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Comedy is the blues for people who can?t sing.

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