If somebody for some reason, for music or for movie, becomes famous, it's because they have something, something special.

Roberto Cavalli

The press attack people to sell more papers without thinking, but when you get famous you have to put up with this kind of stuff.

famous


Matt Damon

There are people who appear in the magazines and I don't know who they are. I've never seen anything they've done and their careers are over already. They're famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers, I think, take a long time to unfold.

Katherine Jenkins

I've only ever wanted to be a singer I never wanted to be famous.

famous


Rachel Weisz

Because I think in order to get famous you have to be known for something. Like 'You're the romantic comedy girl' or 'You're the Oscar-winning whatever girl.'

Becoming famous is a strange thing in your own right.

famous


Beth Ditto

When you see a fantastic colour or cut in a magazine, perched up on some famous so-and-so's head, it's tempting to ask your stylist for the same, but do not be fooled. The hair in those fancy photos can be very high maintenance.

famous


Beth Ditto

I don't feel famous and I didn't want my autobiography to be like a Paris Hilton story.

famous


Debra Winger

I always loved working as an actress, but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can, and I think I did. And eventually, I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.

famous


Jane Pauley

I would like to prove that on TV, everyday lives can be as compelling as the life-styles of the rich and famous. Especially lives that we catch at extraordinary moments.

famous


Neko Case

I would be a huge hypocrite if I didn't tell you that at one time in my life I thought the way that you made music was you got on a major label and you got famous.

famous


Nick Clegg

We need to teach our kids, because there is such a celebrity culture at the moment, that however rich you are, however famous you are, however glamorous you are, everyone has to live by the same rules.

Leona Lewis

I don't have many famous friends, really, except Simon Cowell.

Leona Lewis

Usually when I see someone famous, for some reason, I think I know them.

Harrison Ford

My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.

Taylor Lautner

I got the famous Oprah hug!

Jane Smiley

There are hundreds of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings around the United States and in other countries, too. Wright lived into his 90s, and one of his most famous buildings, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, was completed just before his death. Wright buildings look like Wright buildings - that is their paradox.

Gary Numan

I became famous so quickly and so young - it was daunting. I was immature and I used to say some really stupid things in interviews. I never smiled on stage so I looked really serious, but it was because I hated my teeth and was incredibly nervous.

famous


Jarvis Cocker

There's the famous thing that the A&R man from the record company is supposed to do: He's supposed to come into the studio and listen to the songs you've been recording and then say, 'Guys, I don't hear any singles.' And then everybody falls into a terrible depression because you have to write one.

Jarvis Cocker

I think basically becoming famous has taken the place of going to Heaven in modern society, hasn't it? That's the place where your dreams will come true. It's an act of faith now they think that's going to sort things out.

famous


Jarvis Cocker

As a shy kid growing up in Sheffield, I fantasized about how it would be great to be famous so I wouldn't actually have to talk to people and feel awkward. And of course, as we all know from fairy stories, when you achieve that ambition, you find out you don't want it.

famous


Jarvis Cocker

Pulp existed for 12 years before we got famous. Now, you could say that was just lack of imagination, but it's some kind of quality isn't it? Tenacity. You could also say it was sloth.

Robert Smith

I had no desire to be famous I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.

Eric Davis

I don't want to be famous. I want to be secure. I don't want the world. I just want a piece of it. I want people to remember Eric Davis.

Usain Bolt

You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you're famous, because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.

famous


Jamie Foxx

When you look at Michael Jackson, there's nobody who loves him in that family, nobody. If they did, they'd tell him he didn't have to do all that in order to be famous. All he has to do is keep doing his music and be himself. Michael's been a little touched for about 20 years, but somebody needs to pull him aside and tell him they love him.

Russell Brand

When I was growing up, I thought I'd be a lot happier if I was famous and successful and if I had money.

famous


Russell Brand

I don't know if this is the kind of retrospective analysis that people are fond of applying to their work or actions, but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic, so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly, it would be a kind of defence.

Juliette Binoche

Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion.

famous


Juliette Binoche

It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.

famous


Sarah McLachlan

I didn't get hugely famous really quick. It was a slow, gradual process, so I was able to sort of grow into myself and figure out who I was and what I wanted without the glaring spotlight on me telling me who I was.

famous


Larry Hagman

Major success feels a bit like a coronation. Like I'd become a king. I was one of the most famous people in the world, loved and hated in equal measure. I couldn't see anything bad with it. It made me a happy person.

Hulk Hogan

I'm the man that made wrestling famous.

Charlie Kaufman

I've had to deal, a lot, with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people - especially actors, but really any famous people.

Arthur Smith

It is more interesting to be compared to someone famous, because it lets you gauge what perceptions people have about your appearance.

famous


Bear Grylls

Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.

famous


Wayne Rooney

When famous people come up to you it's a bit weird, but it's an honour, really, when they recognise you and want to chat to you for a bit.

Glenn Hughes

I was very famous as a young man and I celebrated both the good and bad times with drinking.

famous


Carol Burnett

But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.

You can become famous but you can't become unfamous. You can become infamous but not unfamous.

Being famous is great, it's not like bad or horrible or anything.

I love being famous - it's phenomenal.

Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.

Sharon Stone

There are a lot of good things about being famous but there are a few not so good things too.

Peter Cushing

I hope this doesn't sound pompous but I don't think of myself as famous, whatever fame I've got has come through what I've done and associations of things I've done.
