“I think there are some people who have taken on fame in extraordinary ways, like Madonna, David Bowie, and Michael Jackson. There are other people who have taken it on in a completely different way, like Prince - who is just as famous and has achieved just as much - but is still unbelievably mysterious, which I guess Bowie managed to hold as well. There are different ways of dealing with it, and for some people I think it becomes an art form of how you put yourself out there, and for other people it's literally a way of life, it's who you are, you act like a celebrity.” PeopleThinkingArtDifferentTakenFameWho You AreExtraordinaryMysteriousDealing With It Author:Elly Jackson

“I will not dissemble the first emotions of joy on the recovery of my freedom, and, perhaps, the establishment of my fame. But my pride was soon humbled, and a sober melancholy was spread over my mind, by the idea that I had taken an everlasting leave of an old and agreeable companion, and that whatsoever might be the future date of my History, the life of the historian must be short and precarious.” MindFirstsIdeasMightJoyEmotionTakenPrideFutureFameHistoricalSpreadRecoveryCompanionMelancholyHistorianEstablishmentSoberEverlastingPrecarious Author:Edward Gibbon
