I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

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

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

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

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

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

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

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

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

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.

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

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I`m on stage they`re not privileged to see me. It`s a privilege for me to see them.

Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.

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

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.
