There's not an instruction manual on how to deal with success, so you just have to rely on having great friends and a good team.

I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.

People strive for success, but it's very lonely at the top. Now I realise the ultimate prize is a family.

Fame and success have brought me everything, except a loving, on-going relationship. I seem to eat people up and destroy them no matter how hard I try to make things work. Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat, screaming with fear because I'm so alone. That's why I go out looking for someone who will love me, even if it's just for a one-night stand.

There's a long way to fall when you pretend that you're so far away from the earth, far away from reality, floating in a bubble that's protected by fame or success. It's scary, and it's the thing I fear the most: to be swallowed up by that bubble. It can be poison to you, fame.

I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling.
