There comes a time when even icons, if they choose to do so, should be allowed to enjoy life out of the spotlight.

It's a weird day and age when you can tire of icons simply by overexposure.

I have no illusions of being an icon to young girls or anybody.

I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.

What I love most about icons is finding out what's behind them, exploring the price of their power.

True icons are larger than life, unforgettable with an elegance that's mesmerizingly timeless.

There's always a sense of tragedy with icons. It happened to both the Princess of Wales and Diana Dors. A lot of people had grown up with them, and everybody loved them. Then, when they had at last found happiness, they were taken in the most dreadful way.

Teenagers are philosophers. They are thinking about the big things like existence and identity at a time when their identities are changing so fast.

I think it's a bit silly to brand the Internet as the 'downfall of youth.'
