Id love to live in Ireland but Id like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People dont understand – I lived there before I was famous. – Van Morrison
Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag. – Van Morrison
The first piece of music that captured my imagination was probably Ray Charles Live At Newport. – Van Morrison
A famous person to themselves, they dont get up in the morning and think, Im famous. Im not famous to me. Famous is a perception. – Van Morrison
I think in the end, when youre famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think Ive just become this ambitious, say-whatevers-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And thats part of my personality, but its certainly not anywhere near the whole thing. – Madonna Ciccone
