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

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

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

To play without passion is inexcusable!

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

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

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

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

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

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

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

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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

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