“Fame, (fame) makes a man take things over
Fame, (fame) lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, (fame) puts you there where things are hollow
Fame (fame)Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane”

Fame is but a slow decay—
Even this shall pass away.”

“{Fame has] given me a lot of free love -- and that's the best thing fame can afford you. What has it taken away? My privacy.”

“Success doesn't change you; fame does.”
