With luck, you have other things to do than wait for lightning to strike.

I think fame is hard in any capacity. It's so fleeting; it's not anything that you can really grab.

Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.

I think good artists know when they're on a roll, and they recognize when lightning is striking. It's a very fortunate thing to have that inspiration and not to overanalyze it or mess with it; you just follow it if you love what you do.

I think that being thrown into instant fame must be, at times, difficult.

The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.

It's hard for people to get their hands around fame, because it's heady stuff, and you have to look at it as being dangerous explosives, and you have to handle it with care.

Fame an fortune are nothing if you're not happy and healthy.

Lightning is something which, again, we would rather avoid.
