Don't expect fame to come overnight. That filtered through to me in my own career. Look at Madonna: she's not the best singer in the world, but she's got where she has through hard work.

There are certain people who have become better artists, but they're brilliant at marketing. I think someone who's been phenomenal like that is Madonna.

I think Madonna might have a multiple personality.

Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe - they were myths of greatness.

I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.

Fame necessarily isn't really tied to success at all. Fame is just being recognized for doing what you do, whether it's good or bad. Osama bin Laden was famous.

Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.

Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase.

I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success, talent.

Nobody under the sun was like Madonna. She was positive and clear and wholly dedicated to achieving everything that she's achieved.
