I lost some of my friends because I got so famous people who just assumed that I would be different now. I felt like everyone hated me. That is the most unhappy time of my life.

I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.

I became famous I think really because of the interpretation of other people's songs way back when and that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm a lazy bugger.

Famous people come up to me but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.

I can't advise any of the young ones because I don't know what their background was but I would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a real problem.

Because you know when you first become famous you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.

I don't mean being famous is a perk because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like I don't know general friendliness and willingness to please just to point out two.

One thing about being famous is the people around you you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check.

I think it's useful as a famous person to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are - because otherwise I'd be sitting here thinking I'm keeping secrets and wondering when you're going to find out.

It's interesting because people assume that because I'm famous I know all famous people.

Whenever you're the child of a famous person you get judged in odd ways because of that.

Sometimes people offer you plays they offer you parts but they only offer it because I'm famous.

The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous and I never dreamt I would be famous.

And to me fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you but it's not real. And it's totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can.

Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else.

Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.

I wrote because I needed to and wanted to. It never occurred to me that I'd become famous.

People hate me because I am a multifaceted talented wealthy internationally famous genius.

I know I'm not supposed to have any opinions about politics because I'm famous.

I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.

I've always been part of comedy. One of the things about our family was that if we were reasonably funny with each other particularly my two brothers and myself when my father was upset with something you'd want to make sure in some way you made him laugh. Because when he didn't laugh you were in trouble!

We don't have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live but it's important to be with our family and friends.

I like playing music because it's a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can't feed my family with satisfaction.

My dream maybe because of my family of course was to be a painter. I chose in one moment the direction of textiles from textiles I went to fashion.
