I became famous I think really because of the interpretation of other people's songs way back when and that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm a lazy bugger.

I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.

It's interesting because people assume that because I'm famous I know all famous people.

I'm more interested in being good than being famous.

We are not interested in cloning the Michael Jordans and the Michael Jacksons of this world. The rich and the famous don't participate in this.

I think the driving thing was curiosity about the universe. That fascinated me. I didn't think anything about being famous or anything like that I was just interested in the concepts involved.

The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous and I never dreamt I would be famous.

I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.

My favorite thing about being famous... it's not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough doing interviews and all the stuff. It's still pretty tough.

People hate me because I am a multifaceted talented wealthy internationally famous genius.
