The colour of my soul is iron-grey and sad bats wheel about the steeple of my dreams.

There is nothing more musical than a sunset.

But music, don't you know, is a dream from which the veils have been lifted. It's not even the expression of a feeling, it's the feeling itself.

Music is the space between the notes.

Works of art make rules but rules do not make works of art.

Music begins where words are powerless to express. Music is made for the inexpressible. I want music to seem to rise from the shadows and indeed sometimes to return to them.

Music is the expression of the movement of the waters, the play of curves described by changing breezes.

[on Richard Wagner] A beautiful sunset that was mistaken for a dawn.

I am more and more convinced that music is not, in essence, a thing which can be cast into a traditional and fixed form. It is made up of colors and rhythms.

Listen to no one's advice except that of the wind in the trees. That can recount the whole history of mankind.

I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.

Like its politicians and its wars, society has the teenagers it deserves.

I wish I had done everything on earth with you

I'm a foodie, I'm always eating, I'm eating right now ...sometimes I get fat around the waist, but I don't care.

Motherly love - putting the care of children before every other consideration - is the ultimate intelligence of nature.

That's what I've been trying to strive for - to draw a clear picture, to open up a new dimension.

To progress we must do the work as individuals, but then we must come together and work together.

After the game is before the game.

When I say R&B is dead, I'm pretty much saying the creativity is gone.

I really like working with drummers, I like being able to bounce ideas off drummers.

Heaven is in a grain of sand.
