I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition. 
I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.
