I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.
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.
Art is the most beautiful deception of all!
People come to music to seek oblivion: is that not also a form of deception?
Beauty seems to strike some people as a personal affront.
First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.
