Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

I just like art. I get pure pleasure from it. I have a lot of wonderful paintings and every time I look at them I see something different.

Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.

Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.

The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.

Yes 85 percent of the art you see isn't any good. But everyone has a different opinion about which 85 percent is bad. That in turn creates fantastically unstable interplay and argument.

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

The work of art assumes the existence of the perfect spectator and is indifferent to the fact that no such person exists.

Art is man's constant effort to create for himself a different order of reality from that which is given to him.

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.
