The barrier to success is not something which exists in the real world; it is composed purely and simply of doubts about ability.

Just be yourself, there is no one better.

I always knew I was going to be rich. I don't think I ever doubted it for a minute.

I don't like to gamble, but if there's one thing I'm willing to bet on, it's myself.

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

I didn't have any inhibitions. I saw Elvis and Gene Vincent, and I thought, 'Well, I can do this.' And I liked doing it. It's a real buzz, even in front of 20 people, to make a complete fool of yourself. But people seemed to like it. And the thing is, if people started throwing tomatoes at me, I wouldn't have gone on with it. But they all liked it, and it always seemed to be a success, and people were shocked. I could see it in their faces.
