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

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.

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

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

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

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

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

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

The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

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

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

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.

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

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
