I know I could have a better public image if I were less open, if I ducked more issues and didn't speak out. But it's not my nature.

I've never been able to control my public image.

When I first began to write, I was writing on bass, because I was thinking more Public Image, more dub.

There was a president who was much less healthy than the public image of him conveyed. If [the public] knew about it in 1960, I doubt that he would have been elected.

I'd like to get my public image nearer to my reality. People have a lot of misconceptions.

The image that the public gets is whatever they perceive it to be. Everybody has an opinion, everybody has their own vision, so I don't know what my public image is. I have no idea.
