“Why am I so famous? What am I doing right? What are the others doing wrong?”

“I hope this doesn't sound pompous but I don't think of myself as famous, whatever fame I've got has come through what I've done and associations of things I've done.”

“OK, so I'm not famous for the right reasons.”

“I was obsessed with being rich and famous.”

“No matter how famous and established they were or however blessed they were with great songs or long careers, if they lived alone, they lived alone. That's not the way I wanted to live prior to the tour or after.”

“I can never really enjoy being famous.”

“I don't really consider myself to be famous.”

“It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.”

“Although I get so much fan mail from Great Britain, tell me, am I more famous there than Michael Madsen?”
