Dio Quotes

Going to radio with a rap record prior to going to the consumer is like having no foreplay with your girlfriend Picture Quote #1

The way the public sees it is this. If we don’t leave, we are idiots. If we do leave but don’t succeed in our mission, we are incompetent. But if we do succeed, it’s because it was easy and anyone could have done it Picture Quote #1

And it is true that life lacks the monotony of museums. There come days which seem worthy of being framed, but they are so full of conflicting sounds, of line and color and living, burning light that they never become tedious Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen people recover physical abilities, yet never get over emotional trauma after a serious accident. I’ve seen other people overcome the psychological and emotional trauma of a serious illness even though they may never fully regain their physical capabilities. Which is the greater healing? Which is the better recovery? If I had the option of choosing between a mediocre life with eyesight or the life I have today, even though I am blind, I’d stay blind and keep the life I have Picture Quote #1

Discovery is the privilege of the child: the child who has no fear of being once again wrong, of looking like an idiot, of not being serious, of not doing things like everyone else Picture Quote #1

Daily, from sunrise to sunset, the radio, newspapers and magazines broadcast to the world how to maintain health, how to regain health... the conflicting information, expressive of the different opinions of these various health authorities, has proved to be nothing less than confusion Picture Quote #1

Fear of failure is a ticket to mediocrity. If you’re not failing from time to time, you’re not pushing yourself. And if you’re not pushing yourself, you’re coasting Picture Quote #1

Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn’t be one of them Picture Quote #1

The temptation many creative people I know have is to strive for popularity. To make, do, and say things that other people like in the hopes of pleasing them. This motivation is nice. And sometimes the end result is good. But often what happens in trying so hard to please other people, especially many other people, the result is mediocre Picture Quote #1

Nothing in the world can be compared to the human face. It is a land one can never tire of exploring. There is no greater experience in a studio than to witness the expression of a sensitive face under the mysterious power of inspiration. To see it animated from inside, and turning into poetry Picture Quote #1

After a period in which technocrats attempted to become stars and stars to become politicians, the political void has been occupied by the force of mediocrity, which can easily master enough of the star techniques to produce inoffensive personalities and enough of the rational vocabulary to create the sounds of competence Picture Quote #1

For me and my films, I want my audience to experience cinema in its full glory. It’s not just visual, it’s audio as well. It’s emotional, and I want you to be engaged with not just the scene but with the characters Picture Quote #1

For me, living and making music, they’re one thing. It’s not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It’s the thing that I need to do every day Picture Quote #1

Thank you for letting idiots like me, come out and live this wonderful wonderful dream. I love you to death. Lets go home Picture Quote #1

The culture used to move relatively slowly, so you could take aim. Now it moves so fast, and is so fluffy and meaningless, you feel like an idiot even complaining about it Picture Quote #1

To get my sound in the studio, I double guitar tracks, and when it gets to the lead parts, the rhythm drops out, just like it’s live. I’m very conscious of that Picture Quote #1

What use is my mind? Granted that it enables me to hail a bus and to pay my fare. But once I am inside my studio, what use is my mind? I have my model, my pencil, my paints. My mind doesn’t interest me Picture Quote #1

Perhaps it’s true that I’m very hard on myself, but that’s better than exhibiting mediocre work... too few were satisfactory enough to trouble the public with Picture Quote #1

The true professional makes art when he is not feeling good, if the studio is too cold or too warm or the walls are falling down. We are painters and we paint. If I were a sculptor, I’d sculpt Picture Quote #1

I think of my studio as a vegetable garden, where things follow their natural course. They grow, they ripen. You have to graft. You have to water Picture Quote #1

An artist needs the best studio instruction, the most rigorous demands, and the toughest criticism in order to tune up his sensibilities Picture Quote #1

If you’re surrounded by idiots, you’re the unpopular one and the odd one out because idiots don’t like smart asses Picture Quote #1

How tedious is retirement! You cannot imagine to yourself the monotony with which day comes after day Picture Quote #1

Surfing is like that. You are either vigorously cursing or else you are idiotically pleased with yourself Picture Quote #1

The materials of true poetry are always humble, absolutely idiosyncratic, the autobiographical tatters that, in gifted hands, are made into the memoir that fits us all Picture Quote #1

Studios might support people trying to do something a little bit different and they’d be more open to the fact that there’s more than one path to the waterfall Picture Quote #1

I have a weird sense that people ten years younger than me don’t own a radio, or maybe they own a radio, but they don’t call it a radio Picture Quote #1

America is a great place, speech is free and you’re able to expose the fact that you’re an idiot Picture Quote #1

Few of the great tragedies of history were created by the village idiot, and many by the village genius Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a thyroid anymore. I had radioactive iodine treatment, which destroyed my thyroid. I take medication every day Picture Quote #1
