I need instant gratification.

I was a personality before I became a person - I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy and driven.

In the music business, we all do different things, but we sit there and admire other people who can write a song differently or sing differently. It's not so competitive.

I'm not that ambitious any more. I just like my privacy. I wish I really wasn't talked about at all.

I knew that with a mouth like mine, I just hadda be a star or something.

New York critics - I hear when one of them watched "A Star Is Born", he talked back to the screen.

I hate tooting my own horn, but after Steven Spielberg saw Yentl, he said: "I wish I could tell you how to fix your picture, but I can't. It's the best film I've seen since Citizen Kane".
