• There is a progression of understanding vis-a-vis pro football that varies drastically with the factor of distance -- physical, emotional, intellectual and every other way. Which is exactly the way it should be, in the eyes of the amazingly small number of people who own and control the game, because it is this finely managed distance factor that accounts for the high-profit mystique that blew the sacred institution of baseball off its ''national pastime'' pedestal in less than fifteen years.

• People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortcomings to make themselves feel better. And it's a very sad thing.

• Ves a estos dictadores subidos a sus pedestales, rodeados por las bayonetas de sus soldados y las porras de su policía. Tienen miedo de las palabras y del pensamiento. ... Hacen esfuerzos frenéticos para prohibir nuestros pensamientos y nuestras palabras. ... Un estado de sociedad en el que los hombres no pueden decir lo que piensan - en el que los niños denuncian a sus padres a la policía - en el que un empresario o un pequeño comerciante arruina a su competidor contando historias sobre su opinión privada. Tal estado de la sociedad no puede perdurar mucho tiempo si está continuamente en contacto con el sano mundo exterior.

• Los héroes y los eruditos representan los extremos opuestos... El erudito lucha en beneficio de toda la humanidad, a veces para reducir el esfuerzo físico, a veces para reducir el dolor, y a veces para aplazar la muerte, o al menos hacerla más soportable. En cambio, el patriota sacrifica una parte bastante sustancial de la humanidad en aras de su propio prestigio. Su estatua se erige siempre sobre un pedestal de ruinas y cadáveres... En cambio, toda la humanidad corona a un erudito, el amor forma el pedestal de sus estatuas, y sus triunfos desafían la profanación del tiempo y el juicio de la historia.

• La literatura es la más noble de todas las artes. La música muere en el aire o, en el mejor de los casos, sólo existe como recuerdo; la oratoria cesa con el esfuerzo; los colores del pintor se desvanecen y el lienzo se pudre; el mármol es arrastrado de su pedestal y se rompe en fragmentos.

• It’s amazing how lonely you can feel and like nobody understands…The moment you are vulnerable, someone always reaches out….They go through the same things. I want them to feel comfortable knowing that I have flaws as wells. I want them to know those flaws. I’m afraid of the pedestal…I want to be a peer to my fans

• I can look back at it now as definitely like an initiation into adulthood.

I felt like I just got stuck trying to be someone else and I forgot who I actually was.

• The idea of celebrity has always been very strange to me because it's taking the focus away from the music and attaching it to a person. When we put someone on a pedestal or idolize them, we're giving our own power away.
