"In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people."

"If I am a legend, then why am I so lonely?" "I can live without money, but I cannot live without love." "My life, my career has been like a roller coaster. I've either been an enormous success or just a down-and-out failure." "It's lonely and cold on the top ... lonely and cold." |
