I was getting a lot of editorial as in lots of pages in 'Vogue ' but it's far more important to get your dresses on the back of a famous person. Charlotte Rampling in Bruce Oldfield. That sells.

The whole business of getting famous was good fun but it was a long time ago.

When I got into the music industry I wasn't focused on being the most famous artist or even getting a major record deal. It was just to make music on my own terms or create my own image do my own hair do my own makeup.

For me getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it the loss of anonymity the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.

Don't worry about writing a book or getting famous or making money. Just lead an interesting life.

The first time I went to Johnny Depp's house in LA is when I realized what I was getting myself into. I knew he was famous but I didn't really know what that entailed.

Forget about being world famous it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.

Any idiot can get laid when they're famous. That's easy. It's getting laid when you're not famous that takes some talent.

I really hate the duties of being a celebrity like getting dressed up for the red carpet.

Getting a family into work supporting strong relationships getting parents off drugs and out of debt - all this can do more for a child's well-being than any amount of money in out-of-work benefits.

Getting and keeping my immunity became very important to me. For I needed to take care of myself and my family. No one else was worried about me.

You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.

I'm getting older now so I should think about a family but certainly not tomorrow.

Getting married and starting a family has been a lifelong goal and one that I have persevered through different paths up to it!

The baby boomers are getting older and will stay older for longer. And they will run right into the dementia firing range. How will a society cope? Especially a society that can't so readily rely on those stable family relationships that traditionally provided the backbone of care?

Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent but with great inner drive go so much further than people with vastly superior talent.

There's tons of creative people in television that have one failure after another and they just step up higher. I could never get over that. When I had a failure there was no such thing as just getting over it.

It breaks my heart to see these young really talented bands getting chewed up into the system. I remember a time if you'd signed to a major label it was such a sell out! But now... unless you've signed to a big label you're a failure now.

I'm kind of a failure. I mean I'll be honest. I'm successful in that I'm getting to work on great stuff but I think I'm a failure in all the personal stuff that is most important to me.

The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.

Marimba is much more of a wood-type experience and there is no real possibility of getting a dry sound and getting that contrast in the same way that you can in a vibraphone.

When you go visiting countries you start reading the history of the place and you start getting into the culture and then you have to leave. In my experience all countries have hidden treasures.

While I was trying to save money to go to the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Australia I ended up getting all of this experience which meant that by the time I had enough money in the bank to go to school I didn't really need to go to school anymore.

It was a very profound experience getting in touch with that part of us in all of us human beings that is committed beyond yourself to the point of giving everything you have including your life for other people for your fellow man.
