I don't really need to be remembered. I hope the music's remembered.

A tune has to resonate with whatever is happening around it.

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

Music was like my first real toy. I was an only child for a while, and I was alone a lot of the time - and I liked it. I still like being alone.

Fate is gonna find you in your glass of champagne.

But music seems to me to be the most closely identified with my soul. I mean, I feel that it’s the best for me. It just gets into the bloodstream so quickly, for no reason at all. You can close your heart, and you can sleep even with your eyes closed, but you can never close your ears.

I don't really need to be remembered. I hope the music's remembered.
