The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.

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

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

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

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

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.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

The earth has music for those who listen.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

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

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

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.

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

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

Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.

Artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.

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