I've always put myself intensely into my work..

Support the strong, give courage to the timid, remind the indifferent, and warn the opposed..

I don't see the point in working just to be working..

I'm a free agent. I want the major-label budget for my next album, but I'm too big for the label to pay me. I don't want to be controlled, to be wate….

It's not so much do what you like as it is that you like what you do..

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail..

What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us..

‎A change of work is the best rest..

When someone tells me not to do something, I'll do it more..

To live we must conquer incessantly, we must have the courage to be happy..

Love which economizes is never true love..

Jewishness cropped up and has never successfully been put down since..

I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me.

All the backstories are there but not talked about..

What I love I destroy. What I destroy, I love..

We see the brightness of a new page where everything yet can happen..

I don't do live things..

I tell it like it is. I tell it like I see it. I tell it like I envision it. I tell it like I live it..

Nobody understands your life, but you..

It's not the words but the music that counts..

It is poetry that changes everything..
