I think music needs danger; it needs risk.

Punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business.

You can never stop discovering music.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

Music is meant to be a beautiful thing.

Music is essentially useless, as is life.

I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.

Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
