“They can gas me, but I am famous. I have achieved in one day what it took Robert Kennedy all his life to do.”

“I never pursued being 'famous.'”

“You can be famous for a lot of things. You can be a Nobel-prize winner. You can be the fattest guy in the world.”

“I don't know if this is the kind of retrospective analysis that people are fond of applying to their work or actions, but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic, so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly, it would be a kind of defence.”

“My discrepancy with children in the industry is that they are made famous before they know who they are as human beings.”

“I was brought up with psychics and tarot cards. My mum was always told I was going to be in a boy band and be famous as a singer.”

“I thought that somehow your life would be much different when you're famous... and it's not. You just buy more stuff.”

“The only reason I became the singer in the band is because I sang the best. It wasn't out of some desire to be a star or be a famous singer. It's not like I love interviews.”

“All my life, it's been the same with men. Being a woman who is famous and adored by men is very hard for any boyfriend to handle. All my boyfriends end up insecure.”
