"I need drama in my life to keep making music."

"Isn't this enough? Just this world? Just THIS?"

"No matter what is happening in life or in the world - war, natural disaster, poor health, pain, the death of loved ones - if existence is filled with art, music and literature, life will be fulfilling, a joy."

"Rap music's been around for too long now to be inspirational. The words are, but the music isn't."

"It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf."

"My success set me up for life, and it meant that I could retire from the music industry at 27 to spend time with my newborn daughter and my wife. My time away from the spotlight allowed me to rediscover my love for music, and I'm doing it for me now and no one else."

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

"If music be the food of love, play on,Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,The appetite may sicken, and so die."

"We are fans of Mozart and Beethoven, as well 'South Park' and Borat. We believe that we can attract many people who eschew the serious ambiance of concert halls and don't go to classical music concerts because of such reasons.

"God has abandoned you. Fear does not serve you. Your heart has betrayed you. Only the music can guide you."

"All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music."

"Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s."

"... 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..."

"Would you destroy Something perfect in order to make it beautiful?"
