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.

There is no fulfillment in things whatsoever. And I think one of the reasons that depression reigns supreme amongst the rich and famous is some of them thought that maybe those things would bring them happiness. But what in fact does is having a cause having a passion. And that's really what gives life's true meaning.

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.

My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa even though everyone else did because we didn't have any money because Africa was the 'dark continent' and because I was a girl.

There's a sort of sibling moratorium when you're establishing yourself as an adult. So much of your energy has to be focused on other things like work and kids. But when people become more settled siblings tend to regroup because now you're building a new extended family.

Touring is tough. You're almost in a haze because you don't really know where you are half the time: You're in a hotel room one moment and the next thing you know you're onstage performing for 60 000 people then you're back on an airplane. It's very hectic and I couldn't do it without my family.

On the one hand the idea of marriage and the sort of traditional family life repulses me. But on the other hand I long for it you know what I mean? I'm constantly in conflict with things. And it is because of my past and my upbringing and the journey that I've been on.
