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

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.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

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

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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.

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

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

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

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

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

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.

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.

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time

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

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

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