When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

What will I be doing in 20 years time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?

I certainly don't have any aspirations to live to 70. It would be so boring. I will be dead and gone long before that. I won't be here... as far as I'm concerned, I've lived a full life and if I'm dead tomorrow, I don't give a damn. I've lived. I really have done it all.

And wherever men are fighting against barbarism, tyranny, and massacre, for freedom, law, and honour, let them remember that the fame of their deeds, even though they themselves be exterminated, may perhaps be celebrated as long as the world rolls round.

I can't be a legend yet. I'm not dead.

Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love.
