I've certainly had a number of failures along the way, depending on my own instincts and creativity, some fairly celebrated, at least during their time.
How quickly passes away the glory of this world.
One of the hazards of making a major discovery early in your career is the burden of expectation, not helped in my case by becoming a wife and mother soon afterwards. I'm sure some people think it was a flash in the pan.
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Brick-and-mortar at the end of the day matters because viral is great, but it comes and goes as fast.
I mean, everybody's star fades in every business; that's just a natural part of life.
If you're in pop music, you've got to deal with the changing of the guard every few years. By the time the '70s arrived, I was well aware of the cyclical nature of the game. Pop music is a creature of the moment; it thrives on the mood of its time. Either you hook into that or you're not going to be part of it.
The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection; and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow.
I don't want to be a flash in the pan. I don't want people to just remember me for one thing.
The younger generation of performers really enjoy their success. Its like they know their moment is here right now and probably won't be here in a few years.
I'm the flavor of the month.
It's a difficult thing to be in fashion or popular - it's all so fickle.
A lot of times, guys leave WWE or get fired by WWE, but there's always that little bit of buzz right when they get out on the scene, but like all buzz, it fades. But I feel really flattered that, for whatever reason, it seems to be trending upwards.
One U.S. hit single and a hit T Shirt in 1985 does not a celebrity make.
Trends die. That's the natural thing about a trend. It's natural for people to be followers and be sheep and go with a trend.
Every phenom goes down one day.
Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.
What goes up must come down; I'm not going to be in 'Hamilton' forever. Everything I work on won't have this kind of success.
I have some star status. But I don't have that sustained success rate.
What is cool today is not going to be cool tomorrow, and what wasn't cool yesterday is going to be cool tomorrow.
I feel sorry for these kids in bands. Everything is so disposable nowadays. These kids don't even get 15 minutes of fame, it's like a minute and a half.
I would like to establish myself. I don't want to just have a moment.
Do you think I'm going to be one of those flash-in-the-pan actresses?
You can win a talent show and be so famous that you can't walk down the street, but no-one knows you next Monday.
Anybody whose film becomes a hit is a superstar. Today there is somebody, and tomorrow there will be somebody else. No single woman or man has a monopoly for all time.
