"It was my fans who made me..." - Quote by Marilyn Monroe

“For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.”

“I'm trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that's not easy to do. Millions of people live their entire lives without finding themselves. But it is something I must do. The best way for me to find myself as a person is to prove to myself that I am an actress.”

“I think every human being knows how to hate. Because if they didn't know how to hate how to hate they wouldn't know how to love.”

“Men after death ... are understood worse than men of the moment, but heard better.”

“I realize that some people see going away as, "Oh, he's irrelevant now," but I feel like if I don't go away, I get sick of myself. It's never been my thing to be in the spotlight all the time.”

“People love you when you're successful, but if you're not, who really cares about you?”

“I really focus on what my fans will take from it, people living their day-to-day lives. At the end of the day, the music isn't for me; it's for people who are going through their struggles and want to relate to someone who feels the same way they do. I've got to go all-in, expressing myself, right there in the moment.”

“Everybody has their own way of hearing songs. My fans are usually pretty on point. Sometimes they go all the way to the bottom of it. It's fascinating to me how far an idea can go. I wrote most of my first album in my mom's kitchen, and now I can go around the world and hear people recite those lyrics, and understand the story, even though they're not from the same area I grew up in.”

“Most of my fans, if you were to look on their iPods, you'd see every possible genre of music represented in some capacity.”
