I think, in these days, especially in the States, you have to be a politician or an assassin or something, to really be a superstar.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

There are things known and things unknown and in between are The Doors.

Time to live, time to lie, time to laugh, and time to die. Take it easy baby. Take it as it comes.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.

Work hard and follow your dreams, but never forget where you came from.
