A real work of art destroys, in the consciousness of the receiver, the separation between himself and the artist.

At art school, a teacher said: 'The best paintings are when you get lost in a piece of work and start painting in a stream of consciousness.' I wanted to do music, not art, so started writing lyrics that way. The first song I wrote was called 'Ice Cream and Wafers.' The next was 'Holding Back the Years.'

Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.

The world is a work of art that gives birth to itself.

Jeetendra, Sridevi, what kind of film and what kind of music do you expect with these ingredients? The industry is full of shopkeepers who're out to make money - not art.

If you're still making art in your 30s you're either wadded or good - and I'm both.
