Van Morrison

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.

Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.

A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.

For many young women, the dream of independence and a home of their own is a tantalising goal, while a lifetime devoted solely to catering for another person's needs would be hard to countenance.

I've never been in a competition before, and I said I'm going to go. I think - I just love to sing.

When I was 6, I saw a commercial that Jessica Simpson was in, and that was the first time I felt my little heart flutter.
