When I do a show, the whole show revolves around me, and if I don’t show up, they can just forget it.

They are trying to make me into a fixed star. I am an irregular planet.

How sweet it is to have people point and say, “There he is.”

I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.

Fame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experienced, but that’s not where I live.

Those who know the joys and miseries of celebrities when they have passed the age of forty know how to defend themselves.
