Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played. Hollywood created a superstar, and pain was the price you paid.

If it doesn't work out there will never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain.

Most of my songs are love ballads and things to do with sadness and torture and pain.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.

The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.

We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion.
