La più divina delle poesie è quella, amico, che c'insegna amare!”
(The highest purpose of poetry is to teach us to love!)

Regardless of where I am in five years, or where this takes me, I'm going to be singing, writing.

The truth is I go to these meetings, events and meet celebrities, and at that moment it's great. But then I come home, do the laundry and do the dishes.

Inspiration is an awakening, a quickening of all man's faculties, and it is manifested in all high artistic achievements.

Art is a kind of illness.

. . . colors like a flourish of trumpets or pianissimo on the violin, great, calm, oscillating, splintered surgances . . . . Is this not form?
