People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song.
I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
And, in the end The love you take is equal to the love you make.
Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.
It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
The true art of memory is the art of attention.
Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.
Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?
I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time

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 can change the world because it can change people.
Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
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.
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.
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.
Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
