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

Toil and risk are the price of glory, but it is a lovely thing to live with courage and die leaving an everlasting fame.

People don't value their obscurity. They don't know what it's like to have it taken away.

I wanted to be a singer forever. But it's not really my cup of tea. Having the whole world know who you are.

It's all fleeting. As fame is fleeting, so are all the trappings of fame fleeting. The money, the clothes, the furniture.

Men of great ambition have sought happiness . . . and have found fame.
