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.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I wanted to be a teacher, but I was a lousy student, one of the slowest readers. It was a tremendous struggle. But I'm lucky I had some teachers who saw something in me.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
