The first time I went to Johnny Depp's house in LA is when I realized what I was getting myself into. I knew he was famous, but I didn't really know what that entailed.

Duke Ellington was famous for hs very original harmonic patterns.

Why am I so famous? What am I doing right? What are the others doing wrong?

Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed.

The fire in the belly is essential, otherwise you become Michael Buble - famous and meaningless.
