Most of my arguments with musicians through the years have had more to do with their attitude about music or their attitude about their own lives or their personal responsibility. Music has never really been the big centerpiece of the fight.

You can't study comedy it's within you. It's a personality. My humor is an attitude.

If a person gets his attitude toward money straight it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.

Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.

It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer.

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

Out with stereotypes feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west's stunning sexual personae the vehicles of art's assault against nature. The moment there is imagination there is myth.

The most seductive thing about art is the personality of the artist himself.

Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.

Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book If art doesn't make us better then what on earth is it for.

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

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.

Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.

The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else even if it only be the art of raising lentils receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such.

I think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.

Art is the desire of a man to express himself to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
