"With my ninth mind I resurrect my firstand dance slow to the music of my soul made new."

"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness."

"Music is love, love is music, music is life, and I love my life. Thank you and good night."

"Like most arts, the link between the mind and the pen can chain you like an enslaved workaholic. Even on an intended vacation you suddenly have this killer urge to record whatever the vacation may teach."

"Music, my rampart and my only one."

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

"Musically, he was like an old man in a boy's skin."

"To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the music the words make."

"It's easy to hate and point out everything that is wrong with the world; it is the hardest and most important work in one's life to free oneself from the bonds of fear and attachment."

"... And these childrenthat you spit onas they try to change their worldsare immune to your consultations.They're quite awareof what they're going through..."

"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony."

"Our lives were just beginning, our favorite moment was right now, our favorite songs were unwritten."

"I used to date the lead singer of The Cranberries, but she cheated on me. Turns out she had some turkey on the side."

"Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness."

"I love inspirational R&B, like Mary J. Blige and Jennifer Hudson. I want to do that. That kind of music stays with you."

"I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person's day, if not their life, or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something."

"I hope to refine music, study it, try to find some area that I can unlock. I don't quite know how to explain it but it's there. These can't be the only notes in the world, there's got to be other notes some place, in some dimension, between the cracks on the piano keys."

"Music is the beat of a drum that keeps time with our emotions."

"There are so many opportunities in life, that the loss of two or three capabilities is not necessarily debilitating. A handicap can give you the opportunity to focus more on art, writing, or music."

"I make music for ears, not eyes"
