I fear those big words which make us so unhappy.

Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone somewhere may be happy.

What Whitney Houston has accomplished will never be accomplished. She's the most famous person on the planet as far as vocaling and her songs. So I'm very happy that I can sit here and say I had a chance to know her. And I'm still dazed that she's gone. But she lives because her music is so powerful.

I love meeting famous people. I'm even happy just looking at them.

I think success right now is not about how famous you are or how much you're getting paid but it's more about if you're steadily working and you're happy with what you're doing.

I never wanted to be rich or successful or famous. I just wanted to be happy and have fun.

I am the most well-adjusted human being I know. I started out this investigation as a very happy man with a great career. I've got the life people dream about: I am rich I am famous I've got a fabulous marriage to an absolutely spell-bindingly brilliant woman.

I don't want to be famous famous. I'm happy on the second tier where I have autonomy on a professional level but I can still go out to the movies without being recognized.

That the work involved the willingness to take chances the commitment the opportunity to get on stage and make people happy was more important than becoming famous or even what I was dancing.

Major success feels a bit like a coronation. Like I'd become a king. I was one of the most famous people in the world loved and hated in equal measure. I couldn't see anything bad with it. It made me a happy person.
