I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity.

Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it, or death takes them.

Nothing is lost as long as courage remains.

For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I'm doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can't sleep - I haven't slept for three days.

Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.

Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.
