My name's not John Beatle, it's John Lennon.

I'm not one icon. I'm every icon. I'm an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time.

You're either humble or you're not. If you were a jerk before the fame, you just become a jerk with a bigger spotlight. Whoever you are really comes through.

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

Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.

With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else's ideas about you, but what's important is how you feel about yourself - for survival and living day to day with what comes up.
