Quote

I am already so popular that anyone who vilifies me becomes more popular than I am.

I've never been a popular person, but it doesn't matter. I have everything in my life that I want. I'm not a walking publicity stunt. I'm not an anarchist, or bitter. I'm not trying to be subversive. I just try to remain unguarded, unprotected by fear, and agents and publicists, and I feel comfortable that way.

Being popular isn't everything; being true to yourself is!

Being popular comes when you have everything. But to be liked, it means that you must be treating people with respect and you must be showing kindness toward them.

I was never looking to be popular. The trade-off for me in seeking other people's opinions is the potential to help that you get in the media. And we don't always do that, but when we do, it's a beautiful thing.

I guess the nicest thing about being, I won't say famous but being popular is a more proper word for me to use would be that if you've got a recognizable name, a lot of times you can get people to do things for you ordinarily that you wouldn't get done.

Personally, I've never been popular, so I'm not surprised that professionally I'm a bit out of step, too.

I wouldn't mind being popular in other ways, but not with music.

Being famous before you've formed your personality, before you have that self-esteem, is dangerous.

Americans think that if you're popular, there must be something wrong with you.
