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.

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

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.

Amidst all of these flashing lights I pray the fame won't take my life.

I think there are different kinds of fame. There's fame which is plastic and about paparazzi and money and being rich, and then there's the fame, which is when no one knows who you are but everyone wants to know who you are.

What wretched doings come from the ardor of fame; the love of truth alone would never make one man attack another bitterly.
