Kevin Hart	Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work. I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it'll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.	101
Bill Murray	I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it.

Keith Urban	I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently.

Kristin Hersh	I don't like the idea of famous people.	102
Psy	The world's most famous and popular language is music.	102

Bryan Greenberg	I have no interest in being famous for the sake of being famous.	102
Christopher Fowler	When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle conceived Sherlock Holmes, why didn't he give the famous consulting detective a few more quirks: a wooden leg, say, and an Oedipus complex?

David Zucker	I don't really know a lot of famous people. I've met a lot of famous people. If I ran into Tom Hanks today, I would have to remind him who I was and he would then remember me. But he wouldn't come up to me and say, 'Hi Dave!'	102
Gavin Hood	Athol Fugard became famous as a playwright, so although 'Tsotsi' the book was written in the '60s, it was only published in the '80s.

Jonas Mekas	I always work only with friends, but it must be about them and myself. Because I film only very personal moments, nothing preplanned, staged or written, it has to be real and spontaneous.

Lecy Goranson	There was a period when I really had to ask myself, 'What does acting mean to me?' I'm not someone who's content being famous, with that whole lifestyle. I had to realize I could find a balance between what I like to do and what people think you're 'supposed' to do as an actress.	102
Steve James	One of the differences between real documentaries and reality television, besides the artificial construct of reality television, is that the people who are recruited to be on those shows, and the people who are interested in going on those shows, basically want to be famous. Or maybe they can win a million dollars or something.	102
Brian Johnson	People are famous for being famous and for nothing else. And good luck to them, because it lasts about a year and then they're nothing again.	102

Luigi Barzini	They eat the dainty food of famous chefs with the same pleasure with which they devour gross peasant dishes, mostly composed of garlic and tomatoes, or fisherman's octopus and shrimps, fried in heavily scented olive oil on a little deserted beach.	102
Max Beesley	I'd be lying if I said Hollywood wasn't still an ambition; it's everyone's, isn't it? You're getting paid very well, you're working with great actors and great directors - who wouldn't want to be a part of that? But it's not going to break my heart if it doesn't happen. This business is about doing good work rather than how famous it makes you.	102
Silvia Colloca	Italian girls are famous for being snobby and expecting men to make the first move. In America, if I don't make eye contact, the guys won't come over and talk. American girls just go for it. You men are spoiled.	102

Simeon Strunsky	Famous remarks are very seldom quoted correctly.	102
Stefan Persson	Sweden is famous for many things - but not fashion.	102

Mariana Klaveno	It's not like I'm that wildly famous that it's disrupted my lifestyle in some way.	102

Alberto Korda	I still forgive him, because by doing what he did, he made it famous.	102

Meredith Baxter	More than anything else, my mother wanted to be an actress - a famous actress - which in the 1950s was all about being young, sexy, and available. She was all that, and more. She had big blue eyes, alabaster skin, a heart-shaped face, a beautiful figure. She was just a knockout.	102
Jon Carroll	I think the thing to remember, though, the next time you hear someone who is really certain that he is on the side of the angels, is that the idea of angels was created by human beings, who are famous for being frequently untrustworthy and occasional.	102
David Icke	A friend at school was always being laughed at because his father emptied dustbins for a living. But those who laughed worshipped famous footballers. This is an example of our topsy-turvy view of 'success.' Who would we miss most if they did not work for a month, the footballer or the garbage collector?	103
Haruki Murakami	I lost some of my friends because I got so famous, people who just assumed that I would be different now. I felt like everyone hated me. That is the most unhappy time of my life.	103

Wale	I worked at a hot dog place, a bagel place, the Jersey Store and the hottest fashion joint around. I was getting too famous to work there anymore. I was almost showing up as a joke. I made $2,000 on my show the previous night and I'm going to go shopping during my five-hour shift.	103
Wynonna Judd	My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.	103

Harry Knowles	My plan for the online version of 'Famous Monsters' is to become an online 'uncle' to an entire group of people who have never read or heard of 'Famous Monsters of Filmland.'

Ja Rule	People think being famous is so glamorous, but half the time you're in a strange hotel room living out of a suitcase.	103
Tom Hollander	People behave differently to TV stars and film stars; it's to do with the scale of the medium. Film stars get hushed awe, TV stars get slapped on the back. Neither is good for you. Famous people don't hear the word 'no' enough.	103
Will Cuppy	Aristotle was famous for knowing everything. He taught that the brain exists merely to cool the blood and is not involved in the process of thinking. This is true only of certain persons.	103

Frida Lyngstad	Being rich and famous isn't all happiness and at times the pressures have got to me.	103
Moses Mendelssohn	I fear that, in the end, the famous debate among materialists, idealists, and dualists amounts to a merely verbal dispute that is more a matter for the linguist than for the speculative philosopher.	103
Sarah Hyland	I think success right now is not about how famous you are or how much you're getting paid, but it's more about if you're steadily working and you're happy with what you're doing.	103
Tomie dePaola	I remember feeling guilty that I had a good childhood. I thought everybody who is famous has to have a desperate childhood and work his way out of it, but I had a great one.	103
Tony Wilson	There is no celebrity quite as powerful as the local, homegrown celebrity.	103
David Edwards	I don't care how famous a guitarist is, he ain't learned everything. There's always somewhere to go, something to mash up, but he ain't found it yet. You never learn everything on that guitar neck.	103

Peng Liyuan	I feel strongly about HIV/AIDS and children because I'm a famous singer, a public figure, and I'm a female and a mother. I have the responsibility and the passion to help out and do whatever I can.	103
Stephen Malkmus	We were delighted to have Nigel as a producer. The only problem is that Nigel is so famous that he seems to dominate most interviews without being there.	103
Brett Somers	You know, I'm a television personality. It's not like I'm a famous hooker or something!	103
Carl Forti	Donors want to meet famous people, and getting a high profile draw for a fundraiser is one way to boost both the crowd and the cash. It's why the president and the vice president are always in demand. These folks are in demand because people around the country want to meet them.	103
Moon Unit Zappa	If there's anything more mortifying than being famous at 14, it's being washed up right after.	103
Sophie Monk	I don't understand anyone thinking I'm sexy at all. I don't get it because, growing up as a kid, I wasn't. I was like a dork, fat, so for me it's really weird. I became famous in Australia when I was 18, and I was still a little bit chubby.	103
Bobby Thomson	In New York, after that famous home run, they expected me to be up there every year. That homer raised me to a high level, with the top guys in the game.	103

I got to be so famous. I had to go around to every school and perform it. It was just so natural and fun.	103
James Ellroy	I am the most well-adjusted human being I know. I started out this investigation as a very happy man with a great career. I've got the life people dream about: I am rich, I am famous, I've got a fabulous marriage to an absolutely, spell-bindingly brilliant woman.	103
Ronald Harwood	I mean he's a very famous director... they're not going to put their... and he's very tough, he doesn't like interference at all, so he kept them at bay.	103
Johnny Mathis	Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do.	103
James Marsh	I remember from my school days Archimedes jumping into his bath and displacing water and coming up with his famous principle, and of course Isaac Newton being hit on the head with an apple.

Jean Nouvel	My buildings are more famous than me.	103
Jenn Proske	Being rich and famous has never been my goal at all. I love to act and I want to be able to do really great parts.	103

Omar Sy	I began in radio in 1997 on a radio show hosted by a now very famous comic, Jamel Debbouze. I would fake call listeners.	104
Peyton Manning	My high-school coach Tony Reginelli was kind of famous for 'Reggie-isms,' kind of like 'Yogi-isms.' He always said if you want to be a good quarterback, when sprinting left you want to be amphibious and throw left-handed. I told him, 'You mean ambidextrous, coach?'	104
Carmelo Anthony	It's too late for me to get married before I'm famous. You never know people's intentions.	104

Jack Hanna	I had a very famous trainer tell me once, 'You can usually train a wild animal but never tame a wild animal, ever.' They are always going to be wild, no matter what anybody says.	104
Jet Li	Bruce Lee was very famous. I watched his movies and he is amazing. He is a martial arts master, his philosophy, his movement, both physically and mentally, were very strong.	104
Mark Helprin	In American military cemeteries all over the world, seemingly endless rows of whitened grave markers stand largely unvisited and in silence. The gardeners tend the lawns, one section at a time. Even at the famous sites, tourism is inconstant.	104
Michael Morpurgo	Don't worry about writing a book or getting famous or making money. Just lead an interesting life.	104

Terry Wogan	There's nothing to be said for being famous. It's a pain. You can't be rude to people - it's inexcusable not to be nice. Anyway, it's not in my nature. I was trained to be nice.	104
Thomas Bailey Aldrich	The dead play a very prominent part in the experience of the wanderer abroad. The houses in which they were born, the tombs in which they lie, the localities they made famous by their good or evil deeds, and the works their genius left behind them are necessarily the chief shrines of his pilgrimage.	104
Anna Held	The more they applaud, the bigger your salary will be.	104

Jerry Jeff Walker	I think it's real easy to be famous these days; it's not real easy to sustain success.	104
John Grisham	Quite often I can be in a bookshop, standing beneath a great big picture of myself and paying for a book with a credit card clearly marked John Grisham, yet no one recognises me. I often say I'm a famous author in a country where no one reads.	104
Berenice Bejo	Right now I'm the most famous silent movie actress in the world and I want to keep that for me. So I hope there's not going to be any other silent movies.	104
Brenton Thwaites	I haven't had the whole 'famous' thing happen to me yet, and I hope I never will. I like to sneak away in the corners and hide a lot.	104
Clyde Tombaugh	I think the driving thing was curiosity about the universe. That fascinated me. I didn't think anything about being famous or anything like that, I was just interested in the concepts involved.	104
Dolph Lundgren	Having bodyguards is just part of being famous, I think.	104
Gad Elmaleh	Morocco is completely alive for me because I spent about a third of my life there. The first few times I went back to Casablanca, I walked through the streets and remembered how years earlier I had walked those same streets and prayed that a miracle would happen and I would leave and become famous.	104
Gina Rinehart	In the U.S. there are many people willing to work on $9 per hour, which is causing Tasmania to lose its famous apple industry and Australia to import more and more of its fruit and food from lower cost countries. In fact, all over Australia there are warning signs of us killing or restricting our own industries.	104
Sean Lennon	Being famous is having the power to really implement positive change in the world, and it gives you the power to do what you want. I'm really grateful for it because I can play music and people will listen.	104
Ted Ligety	I don't do ski racing to be famous.	104
Tristan MacManus	It can be easy to buy into anything. I would lose focus if I went with that attitude of wanting to be famous.	104
Adam Garcia	The most famous person in my phone is Lindsay Lohan. We starred in 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' together in 2004 and we've stayed in touch.	104
Aubrey O'Day	One thing I think celebrities shy away from is exposing the reality that we're all the same. Somebody's not more important because they have a Bentley or a big house or a famous boyfriend or plastic surgery - we're all the same.	104
Christopher Parker	I get to meet fantastic people, and I get to go through so many emotions. For me, I have a craving for that. When I'm acting, I feel great. It's not to be famous.	104
David McCallum	I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.	104
Richard Ernst	Thus, after finishing high school, I started with high expectations and enthusiasm to study chemistry at the famous Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.	104
Rik Mayall	I had a very happy childhood, happy teenage years and I was famous by the time I was 22. A charmed life.	104
Shayne Ward	If somebody tells me I'm famous I say, 'I'm not.' I can't see myself as famous and I don't think I'll ever call myself famous. I definitely don't feel famous.	104
Alice Eve	My dad's always been a famous actor, so I've grown up with that, and with the lifestyle. In a way, I think I thrive on the insecurity that comes with it. Not in my private life - I like to believe that my friendships and my relationships are strong.	104
Ricky Gervais	There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.	104
Alan Dale	I came to the United States to see what would happen in 2000 after working for 20 years in Australia and asked my agent to look out for the nasty roles because I'd become famous for playing the nicest man in Australia. So I wanted to play bad guys.	104
Jack Gleeson	Ever since my mother sent me to Saturday morning grammar classes when I was 7, I wanted to become a famous actor. I loved the idea of captivating an audience and moving them truly through performance, but more importantly being recognized and heavily lauded for that talent.	104
James Carville	When you become famous, being famous becomes your profession.	104
Johnny Mathis	I think there are a lot of people who really want to be famous, they really do. I don't. It sort of gets in the way of the everyday things that I do.	104
Jay Ryan	I was shooting a mini-series for Sundance/BBC, called 'Top of the Lake,' that was shot by Jane Campion, who's a beautiful native New Zealander and famous film director. The role I was playing was very intense, and they shaved half my hair off. So, I looked like this post-apocalyptic character.	104
Joel Murray	I have a famous brother, and I see what his life's like. He can stay places 15 minutes, and then he's got to leave. So I've seen what it's like to be famous, and I haven't really aspired to be a huge mega-star - not that I've had that opportunity.	104
Arthur Schopenhauer	Martyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability.	105
Anne Hathaway	Quite frankly, I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.	105
Annie Leibovitz	I'm more interested in being good than being famous.	105
Ben Stiller	It was a mixed blessing to have famous parents. It was tough to go to auditions and be bad, since I couldn't be anonymous.	105
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.	105
Hulk Hogan	I'm the man that made wrestling famous.	105
Kate McKinnon	Getting recognized on the street is fine, but I never really wanted to be famous.	105
Louis Theroux	You can talk to someone relatively famous, and they say, 'What do you do? What do you do for a job?' and I say, 'I make documentaries for the BBC,' and you see their eyes just glaze over.	105
Oscar De La Hoya	You get to be famous or have some notoriety and there are so many people who want a piece of you.	105
Ray Charles	I never wanted to be famous. I only wanted to be great.	105
Claire Denis	My mother's father was from Brazil - a painter, and not a famous one - and was always broke. But he was a free spirit, a great grandfather.	105
Elizabeth Peyton	No one is famous when they wake up in the morning, so it's nice seeing people in moments when they're just being themselves.	105
Elle King	I had a beautiful mother and a famous father, and I didn't know where I fit in.	105
George Zimmer	In 1997, I was working with Greg Wilson of Red Ball Tiger, our ad agency at the time, when he came up with an addition to the famous slogan 'I guarantee it' that I was known for saying.	105
Harry Knowles	One of the reasons so many kids bought 'Famous Monsters' was that it gave them ability to order 8mm and Super-8 versions of their favorite monster movies.	105
Leigh Hunt	The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.	105
Linda Thompson	People get a little sidelined thinking that fame and fortune is going to bring them happiness, peace and contentment in their lives. Everyone thinks they want to be famous until the paparazzi are in their face, and then they're asking, 'Just give me some privacy.'	105
Nicky Hilton	I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.	105
Shawn Amos	My father's very public life as Famous Amos was the opposite of that of his ex-wife, my mother Shirley, who was fighting a very private, solitary battle with mental illness.	105
Martin Filler	When Oscar Niemeyer died on December 5, 2012, ten days before his 105th birthday, he was universally regarded as the very last of the twentieth century's major architectural masters, an astonishing survivor whose most famous accomplishment, Brasilia, was the climactic episode of utopian High Modern urbanism.	105
Tony Levin	For me, if the music is good, whether the artist is famous or unknown, I love being part of the music and contributing what I can to the bass end.	105
Anna Kournikova	I am beautiful, famous and gorgeous.	105
Bill Simmons	Why should it matter to us when wrestlers are found dead in their beds or seen limping around on two fake hips? Why should it matter to us that there's a list of modern wrestlers who died before the age of 50 - many of them famous - and that the list is more than 70 names long? Hey, there's always another wave of guys on the way. Always.	105
Gary Barlow	It wasn't not being famous any more, or even not being a recording artist. It was having nobody who needed me, no phones ringing, nothing to do. Because I'm still too young to do nothing. I was only 24 when all that happened. Now, at 40, I feel I've got more to give than I ever have.	105
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.	105
Marissa Jaret Winokur	I lived in New York my whole life. Like every New Yorker, I have stories about spending summers on the Jersey shore, riding the roller coaster in Seaside that is now famous for that sickening photo of it being washed out to sea.	105
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.	105
Dido Armstrong	In fact, I'd just like to own something. Everyone thinks I'm glamorous, rich and famous but all I've got is some recording equipment and a battered old BMW.	105
Alexander Hanson	There are times when I think, if I were a bit more famous, life could be easier in terms of work because producers want bums on seats, and they're going to get bums on seats if they get a name, if you have had that series on telly.	105
Andrew Coyle Bradley	In approaching our subject it will be best, without attempting to shorten the path by referring to famous theories of the drama, to start directly from the facts, and to collect from them gradually an idea of Shakespearean Tragedy.	105
Charlotte Le Bon	What is protecting me is that it is not a finality being an actress. I really think we tend to idealize this job a lot. When you're an actress and you're really famous, it means people believe you are on top of the world - and I think that's not true.	105
James D'arcy	I don't have any expectations as an actor, and being rich and famous is not my driving force.	105
Marion Jones	It's hard to have a bad hair day when you're famous.	105
Matthew Modine	I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path.	105
Millard Drexler	People like consistency. Whether it's a store or a restaurant, they want to come in and see what you are famous for.	105
Jason Lee	I wasn't a kid who moved out from Iowa with aspirations of becoming a famous star - I was intrigued by the idea of filmmaking and by the idea of what it would be like to play a character in a movie.	105
Justin Chon	I didn't become an actor to be famous. I genuinely love acting and never expected to make a penny at it.	105
Jacqueline Leo	Seven is more than a lucky number or a famous baseball player's uniform. It's the brain's natural shepherd, herding vast amounts of information into manageable chunks.	105
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.	106
Big Sean	Fame necessarily isn't really tied to success at all. Fame is just being recognized for doing what you do, whether it's good or bad. Osama bin Laden was famous.	106
Eddie Van Halen	If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you'll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you'll get to where you want to be.	106
Gabriel Iglesias	I want to get so famous that I don't have to wake up in the morning. It'll probably never happen.	106
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec	My dear Mama, you are definitely the hen who hatched a famous duck.	106
Laverne Cox	I wanted to be famous; I wanted to perform. Those things I really, really wanted more than anything else.	106
Meek Mill	Everybody think they're famous when they get 100,000 followers on Instagram and 5,000 on Twitter.	106
Monica Crowley	Two famous happy warriors - Reagan and his political soulmate, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - knew they were fighting their own ideological and external wars. But they did so with the sunny dispositions and positive outlooks of those who knew they were on the right side of history.	106
Paul Lynde	I was obsessed with being rich and famous.	106
Robert Benchley	It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.	106
Trey Parker	If you're famous, you suck, just for being famous. People in England totally get that; Americans don't.	106
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.	106
Andy Samberg	It's weird to have people so interested in your personal life. It's a part of the business that grosses me out. I'm always bummed out for people who just happen to be dating a celebrity, and they're also famous, and they can't live their life.	106
Clive Anderson	You can be a famous poisoner or a successful poisoner, but not both, and the same seems to apply to Great Train Robbers.	106
Jesse Owens	For a time, at least, I was the most famous person in the entire world.	106
Lefty Gomez	I'm the guy that made Joe DiMaggio famous.	106
Phil Hartman	I think my most famous was 'Poco's Legend.' It's a white album with a simple line drawing of a horse. It almost has a Picasso feel to it. I remember that Rusty Young, the lead singer of the band, said, 'I want you to draw a horse for the song 'Legend,' which is about a phantom spirit horse. I want you to do it in several lines.'	106
Cass Elliot	When you're famous, you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you, and you don't see the real people.	106
DJ Qualls	I always wanted to be an actor. It's something I always secretly wanted. You know, I had the experience of being picked on as a child, and I would tell people, 'You're gonna be sorry when I'm famous!' And then I learned after they kicked the stuffing out me that you don't say that out loud.	106
Ed Smith	So I'm a young boy in the 1940s growing up, seeing Ralph Bunche on a regular basis, seeing Duke Ellington on a regular basis. We know that these people are famous. They're living in the same community as we live in. They go to the same stores and shops.	106
Ellen Burstyn	I did my famous cabbage soup diet, so I was able to do it.	106
Joel McHale	My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame.	106
Leonard Slatkin	On the corner of 57th and 7th Avenue sits the most famous concert hall in the world. No less a figure than when Tchaikovsky led the first performances in 1891. Virtually every major artist has performed there. There is simply no place like it. The first time I stepped foot in Carnegie Hall was in 1964.	106
Melissa de la Cruz	Once you start telling people you're famous, they believe you.	106
Shane McAnally	I always loved Willie Nelson, but I loved the songs that Willie made famous.	106
Elisabeth Moss	I don't feel I was ever a 'famous' child actor. I was just a working actor who happened to be a kid. I was never really in a hit show until I was a teenager with West Wing playing First Daughter Zoey Bartlet. In a way, that was my saving grace - not being a star on a hit show. It kept me working and kept me grounded.	106
Emily Meade	I don't want fame as far as the tweeting or the image of it. But, the idea of being famous is actually exciting to me, just because then you can have a choice in what you do. I would like to be at a point where I'm not asking for parts anymore, and I'm actually just choosing between a part that I want to do.	106
Kenneth Anger	Some very famous directors have started in the mail room, which is just getting inside the studio, getting to know people, getting to know the routine.	106
Li Bingbing	It is difficult to understand why I am so famous. I never thought I wanted to be an actress. I never thought about it. I think it is my destiny to be in this business.	106
Peter Scott	They were all famous and fantastic fellows.	106
Aaron Carter	My favorite thing about being famous... it's not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough, doing interviews, and all the stuff. It's still pretty tough.	106
Alison Lohman	I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the idea of being famous.	106
Cathy Marie Buchanan	Edgar Degas's famous sculpture, 'Little Dancer Aged Fourteen,' served as my muse for 'The Painted Girls.' I came upon a television documentary on the work, and as someone who held the sculpture in high esteem and who largely considered ballet to be the high-minded pursuit of privileged young girls, I was struck by what I would learn.	106
Christopher Lambert	It's not a matter of becoming a superstar. Fame and money aren't the purpose of all this. No actor's going to say, 'I don't want to be famous.' But the main purpose for doing what I'm doing is the passion in the work.	106
Rachel Griffiths	But just playing the partner of someone famous, I had a lot more freedom.	106
Shirley Eaton	It seems unfair that anyone can set up on Twitter using my name, or the name of any famous person, without any checks at all.	106
Arthur Golden	I studied Japanese language and culture in college and graduate school, and afterward went to work in Tokyo, where I met a young man whose father was a famous businessman and whose mother was a geisha. He and I never discussed his parentage, which was an open secret, but it fascinated me.	106
Ayelet Zurer	I never see myself as the famous person. It never was a part of my life, and I hope this doesn't become the most eminent thing about what I do. I just hope that I'll do things that have meaning for me and for others somehow.	106
Bert Campaneris	Yankee Stadium, and the Yankees are so famous for Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, all of those guys.	106
Madeline Zima	I grew up with a lot of people who are famous now. I was friends with Hilary and Haley Duff. They are such lovely girls. I have watched their careers blossom, which I am really happy for. I grew up with Ashley Tisdale; we used to both live in Valencia, so we used to hang out back in the day.	106
Jessica Alba	I don't put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.	106
Joe Dempsie	There are dedicated actors and there are people now who only stay famous for putting on weight, losing it, then putting it on again.	106
Joey McIntyre	I love meeting famous people. I'm even happy just looking at them.	106
Bill Nighy	I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.	107
Bo Burnham	I think it would collapse my heart if I was super famous. I don't have the nerve for it, I'm too anxious. I don't know how you're not obsessed with how people perceive you, because they're real people, you know? You can convince yourself that they don't really know you, and that's true, but how can it not hurt your feelings?	107
Francis Ford Coppola	When I was going for my graduate degree, I decided I was going to make a feature film as my thesis. That's what I was famous for-that I had my thesis film be a feature film, which was 'You're a Big Boy Now.'	107
Gareth Bale	I've certainly not got any famous people's numbers on my phone. It's just not my thing, really.	107
Gyorgy Ligeti	It isn't false modesty when I say this, but although I am supposed to be a famous person it doesn't mean anything to me. I just sit at home and work.	107
Philippe Petit	Fame was never something I was seeking in my artistic journey. It's to be used as a tool for an artist to break open doors and keep creating. That's how I enjoyed fame in '74; it was not just for the emptiness of being famous.	107
Russell Crowe	I'm sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there's a lot that can be achieved by putting a check in the right place and shutting up about it.	107
Tony Hawk	You might not make it to the top, but if you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.	107
Tyra Banks	I made my living being 20 or 30 pounds heavier than the average model. And that's where I got famous.	107
Wale	I'm learning as I go. I don't know everything. I never had anybody to look at, nobody ever taught me, and where I'm from I didn't have any famous role models.	107
Xavi	Ibiza is a popular vacation place for a lot of the players in Spain. If you go in the summer, there are some of the world's most famous movie and music stars, so nobody cares about soccer players.	107
Alan Bennett	Those who have known the famous are publicly debriefed of their memories, knowing as their own dusk falls that they will only be remembered for remembering someone else.	107
Anderson Cooper	The whole celebrity culture thing - I'm fascinated by, and repelled by, and yet I end up knowing about it.	107
Bennett Cerf	Fame - anyone who says he doesn't like it is crazy.	107
Bob Saget	When you're famous, you're always famous. It doesn't go away.	107
Claire Tomalin	As he approached his 28th birthday in February 1840, Dickens knew himself to be famous, successful and tired. He needed a rest, and he made up his mind to keep the year free of the pressure of producing monthly installments of yet another long novel.	107
Damien Rice	I'm not the guy that wants to be famous and make loads of money and sell loads of records. I don't want that. I just want to be true. I want to be... I want to serve music. I want to be honest.	107
Donna Leon	I do not take any pleasure whatsoever in being a famous person.	107
Griffin Dunne	It struck me that working digitally with a small crew, I could lay out a general plan for Famous and hope for mistakes which would create something more than satire and something less than truthful reality.	107
Ilka Chase	Among famous traitors of history one might mention the weather.	107
Michael Eric Dyson	You cannot hear the name Martin Luther King, Jr., and not think of death. You might hear the words 'I have a dream,' but they will doubtlessly only serve to underscore an image of a simple motel balcony, a large man made small, a pool of blood. For as famous as he may have been in life, it is - and was - death that ultimately defined him.	107
Noomi Rapace	I'm terrified of being too famous. What I'm really afraid of is that the audiences will go into the theater and not be able to forget that it's me, that fame will stand in the way of my acting. I want to keep being able to change into different shapes and different personalities.	107
Wendy Cope	I've never been more famous than I was, suddenly, in 1986.	107
Eric Heiden	It's not a sport you get famous at. If I wanted to be famous, I would have stuck with hockey.	107
Mark Ronson	I didn't start making music in order to be famous.	107
Martin Yan	I think being famous is more of a hindrance, a constraint, than just letting yourself be free.	107
Melissa de la Cruz	I haven't paid for anything since I became famous.	107
Wilhelm Steinitz	Fame, I have already. Now I need the money.	107
Pola Negri	Of course, Hollywood is still making some excellent pictures which reflect the great artistry that made Hollywood famous throughout the world, but these films are exceptions, judging from box office returns and press reviews.	107
Amanda Hocking	I don't want to be famous per se, but I want to write books for as long as I can. And I plan on writing a lot.	107
Anna Chancellor	I did become quite well known from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', and it helped hugely. I wasn't as famous as Hugh Grant, but I certainly began to work.	107
Tadanobu Asano	If you're famous, you're not free.	107
Debbie Macomber	My office walls are covered with autographs of famous writers - it's what my children call my 'dead author wall.' I have signatures from Mark Twain, Earnest Hemingway, Jack London, Harriett Beecher Stowe, Pearl Buck, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, to name a few.	107
Steve Stoute	Nas has always been uncomfortable with being famous and accessible. Nas makes music because he loves music, not because he wants the trappings of music, such as fame.	107
Jessica Cutler	Some people with blogs are never going to get famous, and they've been doing it for, like, over a year. I feel bad for them.	107
Joey McIntyre	It's every teenager's dream to be in a band, tour the world and be famous.	107
Kim Kardashian	There's more pressure to be famous for being yourself than if you're being a character.	108
Duke Ellington	Fate is being kind to me. Fate doesn't want me to be too famous too young.	108
Ian Hart	My philosophy was, if I just do good work, someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I'm way, way too old now, mate. That boat's sailed.	108
Ian Rush	There are a lot of famous comedians from Liverpool, then obviously the Beatles, and the football club. That's what people in Liverpool are passionate about.	108
Kelli O'Hara	I don't want to be famous for being famous.	108
Kevin Bacon	There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous, and those who are liars.	108
Liz Phair	Yeah, I like to be the maker of the art. And I like and want the money. But I don't really dig being famous.	108
Tom Ford	This sounds crazy, but I know so many famous people, I'm just not intimidated by anyone. I feel really comfortable with it.	108
Utada Hikaru	I can never really enjoy being famous.	108
Wadah Khanfar	The international media concentrates on the famous, the big names. Al Jazeera goes to the margins, investigates stories that are still developing and in the future become very big. Why did the Arabic world love Al Jazeera? Everybody felt he was represented in the newsroom and on the screen. That kind of belonging is ours.	108
Yves Saint Laurent	I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes, the famous and the unknown, who have been so faithful to me and given me so much joy.	108
Zach Galifianakis	I would have changed my last name if being famous were my goal.	108
Annette Bening	Acting is not about being famous, it's about exploring the human soul.	108
Bill Skarsgard	I can deal with it now, but 13 is a tough age to be recognized and famous. It's a tough age, period.	108
Chuck Zito	Sonny and another Hells Angel who was at the meeting thought they were beyond a little patch so they headed down to a local tattoo shop in Oakland and were the first to get the famous One Percent tattoos.	108
Emily Blunt	It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.	108
Gloria Estefan	My family was musical on both sides. My father's family had a famous flautist and a classical pianist. My mother won a contest to be Shirley Temple's double - she was the diva of the family. At 8, I learned how to play guitar. I used to play songs from the '20s, '30s and '40s in the kitchen for my grandmother.	108
Gwen Stefani	If I wasn't even famous or had any success, I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on, and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life, so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween, too.	108
Henry Thomas	Of course there have been times I regretted being the kid in 'E.T.' My world went completely crazy. I was that stupid kind of famous, where you can't go anywhere.	108
Robert Crumb	I felt so painfully isolated that I vowed I would get revenge on the world by becoming a famous cartoonist.	108
William Hung	OK, so I'm not famous for the right reasons.	108
Willow Smith	If I had to change one thing about my life, it would probably be, I wouldn't be famous. Because when you're famous it's so hard.	108
Dax Shepard	Here's the funny thing about the response I've been aware of to my dating famous people: It's been very negative. I'm either not good-looking enough, not a good enough actor or not successful enough for these people.	108
Erin Cummings	My goal was never to be famous, but to be a consistently working actor.	108
Jennifer Grey	Practically everyone in Hollywood has a neighbor who's been famous, wants to be famous, is famous, has been married to someone famous, worked with someone famous, slept with someone famous, been blackmailed by someone famous.	108
Lily Allen	I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public; it's just that's my way of expressing myself, and I happen to be very famous.	108
Louise Brown	Sometimes I like to play the soundtracks to famous musicals so we can all sing along. South Pacific is one of my favorites. Our neighbors must hate us.	108
Ron Silver	It's not like I'm the most famous person in the world.	108
Ronan Farrow	My earliest memory is nursing and struggling to see the colored lights making up the map of the world, the famous backdrop for Larry King's TV show. There's an 'I-want-to-do-all-things-at-once' kind of theme to it.	108
Shane Filan	For me, it's never been about being famous. I just want to be a successful singer. I wanna work hard... If I'm in the papers, grace, but I want to be there for the right reasons - for my music.	108
Stephen Hunter	I never feel so utterly fraudulent as when I review a movie whose charms impress all in the world and I simply do not get it. The other variant is that I love something the world disdains. This has had severe career consequences: I am still famous - or notorious - in certain quarters where I am recalled as the man who liked 'Hudson Hawk.'	108
Stephen Rea	I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.	108
Al Goldstein	Celebrity gives us delusion of self importance.	108
Judah Friedlander	I never got into things to be famous. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's annoying.	108
Mickey Gilley	I guess the nicest thing about being, I won't say famous but being popular is a more proper word for me to use would be that if you've got a recognizable name, a lot of times you can get people to do things for you ordinarily that you wouldn't get done.	108
Morgan Brittany	Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you're the pedestal they built for you.	108
Shelley Long	If it's not some daring, dangerous affair, it's just not interesting, or so it seems. So, here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually, in marriage. Imagine.	108
Joe Wurzelbacher	Ever since Obama's election team and media thugs made me famous for asking a simple question in 2008, I've had more than my share of death threats by people who are by definition at least a little crazy.	108
Maxwell	I just turned 40, and I look at so many performers and so many people who are actually always on time and always have an album out. They don't have actual lives, in my opinion. I feel like I'm so much more than being famous and meeting a musical quota. And I don't know, just the weight of the scrutiny and attention is too weird for me.	108
Jose Marti	Other famous men, those of much talk and few deeds, soon evaporate. Action is the dignity of greatness.	109
Kinky Friedman	You have to pretend that your life is a financial pleasure even when your autographs are bouncing.	109
Lily Collins	There's this common perception that having a famous last name is all you need. A surname may get you a meeting, but if there's no talent you won't get the part.	109
Otto Dix	I will either be famous or infamous.	109
Pericles	For famous men have the whole earth as their memorial.	109
Valentino Rossi	I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.	109
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.	109
Al Jourgensen	There's a famous artist, Ron English, in New York, that just, or Andy Warhol for that matter, that did pop art that terrorized society. And that's, for the last like 10, 15 years, that's all I wanted to do, is terrorize society and make them look into a mirror and see what the hell we have wrought.	109
Bradley Cooper	Being in 'Us Weekly' does not make you famous.	109
John McCain	The first pork-barrel bill that crosses my desk, I'm going to veto it and make the authors of those pork-barrel items famous all over America.	109
Kylie Minogue	I've been accustomed to being famous and having a certain level of attention for 14 years, but in the last few months, it's changed. It's like on the arcade game, I've gone up to the next level.	109
Lafcadio Hearn	At last, in 1611, was made, under the auspices of King James, the famous King James version; and this is the great literary monument of the English language.	109
Noomi Rapace	I can't see any value in being a celebrity, famous for being famous.	109
Toby Jones	I studied Hitchcock a little bit at University and knew the famous story about the Birds - that he'd tortured Tippi for a day using real birds. I had no idea that it was a five-day onslaught and that it was the tip of an iceberg that carried on through to another film.	109
Tom Hollander	I meet people who are famous, and it's made me realise that fame has huge lifestyle disadvantages. I'm nervous about that. I don't want to become a celebrity.	109
Ann Hood	Through the eight books in 'The Treasure Chest' series, readers will meet twins Maisie and Felix and learn the secrets and rules of time travel, where they will encounter some of these famous and forgotten people. In Book 1, Clara Barton, then Alexander Hamilton, Pearl Buck, Harry Houdini, and on and on.	109
John Cusack	I kept saying that I'd never live in L.A., and I didn't think I would. But that's where the work is, and I ended up making a lot of friends there, and my old friends moved out to Los Angeles too. And also, I think when you're famous, its hard to live in a small town.	109
Louie Anderson	I was with a famous comedian when a young fan walked up and asked for an autograph. The comedian blew him off. I'll never forget the look on the young boy's face. He was devastated.	109
Rupert Grint	Being famous is wicked. But it's better to be normal.	109
Shemar Moore	Celebrities have more influence to be able to reach out to people, but people are becoming famous on Facebook and social media every day.	109
Terry Gross	The excitement for me lies not so much in interviewing the hard-to-get famous person, but the person whom you are about to discover. You know, like maybe the character actors who are just coming into their own and you're realizing how great they are.	109
Ruud van Nistelrooy	I feel very strong as an individual, but as a famous footballer I know I am prone to certain things. All the media have a continuous interest for me. It varies from once a year to every day interest.	109
Alan Vega	We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!	109
Brenda Fassie	You know, the more I appear on newspapers, the more famous I become.	109
Claire Scovell LaZebnik	Every time you look at a house in Los Angeles, the real-estate agent will tell you that someone famous once lived there. It always seemed irrelevant to me: Does a property gain value just because Alfred Hitchcock used to eat breakfast there?	109
Adam Sandler	I'm not comfortable being around too many people. I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don't always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.	110
Elizabeth Olsen	I also want to go to an Italian island and do cuisine properly with some famous Italian chef and, like, his mother.	110
Evel Knievel	It's easy to be famous today. People pay a million dollars to be recognized, but nobody cares about them. They cared about me because I did things other men were afraid to do. That's why my fans identified with me. They were mostly working-class.	110
Fran Drescher	Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.	110
George Harrison	I wanted to be successful, not famous.	110
Pauly Shore	Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.	110
Zoe Sugg	I don't know, the word 'famous' just sounds really weird to me, because I'm just me.	110
Benigno Aquino III	Although I was born to famous parents, I know and feel the problems of ordinary citizens.	110
Don Johnson	I can do whatever I want - I'm rich, I'm famous, and I'm bigger than you.	110
Edgar Winter	I really had little interest in becoming famous. When I write my book, it will be my guide to avoid becoming a rock star.	110
Guillermo Cabrera Infante	If you look closely, there is no book more visual than Three Trapped Tigers, in that it is filled with blank pages, dark pages, it has stars made of words, the famous magical cube made of numbers, and there is even a page which is a mirror.	110
Kurt Masur	I worked on scores. I went to the musical library in Berlin which is very famous. I discovered that we had scores of Beethoven, printed scores of Beethoven, that are full of mistakes. Not the wrong or false notes, but the wrong dynamic, understandable things.	110
Lou Doillon	I'm in my father's car at age 9 or 10 crying to Leonard Cohen's 'Famous Blue Raincoat,' thinking that you could write nearly a love letter to a man who betrayed you by having an affair with your wife. I was thinking how wonderful and pure music can be for explaining situations.	110
Rashida Jones	There's a definite responsibility that comes with being famous. You shouldn't be able to just dress up and look pretty.	110
Tim Curry	Any part that makes you world famous has got to be a blessing, hasn't it?	110
Alison Brie	A lot of people come to Los Angeles and think that they're going to be famous, just like that.	110
Dee Snider	I wanted to be a rich, famous rock-and-roll star in that order.	110
Gabrielle Zevin	I'm like a unicorn; I'm a midlist writer who hasn't done anything else but write. But because I wasn't amazingly famous, I didn't become Stephanie Meyer, or even a huge literary name like a Jonathan Franzen or a Joshua Ferris.	110
Glenn Hughes	I was very famous as a young man and I celebrated both the good and bad times with drinking.	110
Richard Lewis	I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say.	110
Richard Russo	HBO is really famous for hiring good people and staying out of their way until they ask for help, or need it. And that reputation is earned.	110
Raymond Bonner	Sydney's most famous beach is Bondi. At its southern end is Bondi Baths, an eight-lane, 50-meter saltwater pool built into the cliffs.	110
Mary Lou Retton	Many medal winners dream of competing in a sport other than the one they're famous for.	110
Vivienne Westwood	Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.	111
Andrea Bocelli	A voice is very intimate. It's something of your own. So there's always this fear, because you feel naked. There's a fear of not reaching up to expectations. As you become more famous, people come and expect to hear something extraordinary, so you don't want to disappoint them. I feel this sense of responsibility.	111
Ani DiFranco	I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.	111
Bill Murray	There aren't many downsides to being rich, other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous, that's a 24 hour job right there.	111
Eddie Rickenbacker	The obviously inexperienced pilot is the game the scientific air-fighter goes after, and the majority of victories are won that way. But, on the other hand, it is the novice usually who gets the famous ace by doing at some moment the unexpected thing.	111
George Matthew Adams	There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.	111
Kathryn Lasky	When I was growing up I loved reading historical fiction, but too often it was about males; or, if it was about females, they were girls who were going to grow up to be famous like Betsy Ross, Clara Barton, or Harriet Tubman. No one ever wrote about plain, normal, everyday girls.	111
Nick Carter	Fame is a lot of pressure, especially when you're responsible for your entire family. Financially, emotionally - everything.	111
Norman Cousins	A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life.	111
Paloma Picasso	The more famous you become, the less people will tell you your faults.	111
Zayn Malik	I think people I'm close to find it absolutely crazy that I'm famous.	111
Alvin Lee	George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy.	111
Diego Della Valle	I come from a family with a long tradition in shoemaking, and I still live in a region famous for its shoemakers. It is getting harder and harder to find skilled workers. There are no professional training institutes, so we have to train our own employees. And an apprenticeship takes three years.	111
Juliette Binoche	Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion.	111
Chad Kroeger	I always thought it was strange when these artists like Kurt Cobain or whoever would get really famous and say, 'I don't understand why this is happening to me.' There is a mathematical formula to why you got famous. It isn't some magical thing that just started happening.	111
Danny Bonaduce	If you ever get rich and famous, by definition you are special. You have done something special, and therefore you start to behave special. Then if the floor drops out, and you become down and out, you have a really new perspective.	111
Josh Gad	The actual truth about Gad is it's one of the original 13 tribes of Israel, so you can actually trace my lineage back to, like, those guys who had, like, a hand in the Bible and have since become very famous from that. So I come from very famous lineage. Granted, they didn't have cameras back then, so none of them had TV shows.	111
Maureen Dowd	Celebrity distorts democracy by giving the rich, beautiful, and famous more authority than they deserve.	111
Rachel Johnson	English people are famous for never speaking out but only saying what they really feel about you behind your back. Americans believe the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. I like exploring those, er, differences in national snippiness.	111
Jamie Cullum	You're only famous in the eyes of others. Inside, you're still the same, and not a hundred million records or TV shows can change that. I think the only pitfall of fame is believing that it means something, and behaving like that.	111
James Woods	I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the Earth because I figure a) They pay my salary, and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say, just come on up.	111
January Jones	Going to New York to do whatever - show business - it just seemed fun. It seemed fun to go to the big city and meet all kinds of different people and maybe be famous. It was just exciting. So I wasn't scared.	111
Jess Glynne	I don't see myself as a famous person.	111
Laura Linney	Just because you're not famous, doesn't mean you're not good.	112
Oliver North	The Obama administration has turned a blind eye to radical Islam since before they came to office. If you look at everything that's transpired since the famous Cairo speech in 2009, it's all been an embrace of those who are the most radical elements in that part of the world. That is not a good sign for America's foreign policy.	112
Rob Lowe	One of the interesting things about Twitter is looking how famous people choose to use it. Take someone like Steve Martin, who I follow: it's all sorts of comic gems, nothing private, nothing personal - all jokes. Other celebrities are overtly personal - like Charlie Sheen. I do a mix of observations and updates.	112
Sia Furler	I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy.	112
Tom Felton	And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it's not real. And it's totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can.	112
Vince Gill	I've always been more drawn to being normal than being famous.	112
Yayoi Kusama	I want to become more famous, even more famous.	112
Christian Slater	I thought I'd get over being insecure if I became famous, but it hasn't happened. It just gets worse, really. You get more and more on edge, more nervous. These are all the things I'm dealing with. You think if you get famous, fear will go away and problems will go away. But they don't.	112
Matt Damon	I'd had people say, 'You'll enjoy being famous for a week, and you'll never enjoy it again'. But I don't think I had that week. I may have been working and missed that moment.	112
Sam Claflin	A famous actor told me once - I don't want to name names, I hate that sort of thing - but I was at his house and he said, 'Are you on Twitter?' I said, 'Yes, I am.' And he said, 'There'll be one day when you'll have, like, five friends. And in the same day it'll go to five thousand.'	112
Tim Roth	There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring.	112
Cullen Hightower	People seldom become famous for what they say until after they are famous for what they've done.	112
Katie Holmes	We had such a wonderful set of circumstances in Wilmington. Yes, the four of us became famous literally overnight, but we were in a small town and we always knew when people were coming down. We always knew when to behave.	112
Scott Eastwood	I got into this business because I like acting and I want to make movies. I would be happy living the rest of my life never famous.	112
Amber Rose	I see a lot of young kids hit me on Twitter all the time, like, 'I want to be famous! Listen to my mixtape! I wish I could be like you!' But a lot comes with it. It's not easy.	112
Colin Hay	I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?	112
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.	112
Meg Cabot	Save your rejections so that later when you are famous you can show them to people and laugh.	112
Tobey Maguire	There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers, great actors, great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that, because I'm 24, I don't have a family, I don't need to make tons of money, and I'm not dying to get famous.	112
Mae Whitman	People should recognize who you are and how you can act rather then how famous you are.	112
Mo Yan	I heard so many stories from Gaomi's peasants that I had an irrepressible urge to write them down. Today, Gaomi's peasants know that they have become famous around the world through my writings, but I think they are a little puzzled by this.	112
Bill O'Reilly	One of the downsides of being famous is that folks pay far more attention to you than they should. American celebrities are constantly under surveillance, and every word they say is subject to scrutiny. So, be careful what you wish for if you desire fame. No human being should be a goldfish.	113
Charles Barkley	One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check.	113
Dave Attell	I never wanted to be famous.	113
David Beckham	Tom Cruise, he's a lot more famous than me.	113
Eddie Van Halen	It's funny, when bands or younger musicians ask me: 'So, what does it take to make it?' Well, first explain to me what you mean by 'making it': Do you want to be a rock star or do you want music to be your livelihood?	113
FKA twigs	I'm not thirsty. I'm not a pop star. I don't want to reign over all forever... I don't want to be famous! It makes me feel sick, the thought of being a famous person. It's just not me.	113
Franka Potente	I think actors are divided into two groups: one that wants to be an actor to become famous and rich, and the other that wants to be an actor because they have to be. I'm more in the second group.	113
Natalie Cole	There's inevitably something missing when you grow up in this kind of an environment when your parents travel a lot. When your father is famous, you are looked at and expected of. There are standards you need to meet.	113
O. J. Simpson	I had one fight in my adult life. I had the famous '89 fight with Nicole, which she admits that she initiated the physical part.	113
Oksana Baiul	Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater, not a real person.	113
Robert De Niro	The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you.	113
Frank Oz	I wouldn't like to be that famous, I value my privacy. Mind you, Miss Piggy enjoys every moment of it. If it were not for me, she would spend all her time in the limelight.	113
Maisie Williams	This whole segregation between famous people and other people is complete rubbish.	113
Robert South	The seven wise men of Greece, so famous for their wisdom all the world over, acquired all that fame, each of them, by a single sentence consisting of two or three words.	113
Suzanne Farrell	That the work involved, the willingness to take chances, the commitment, the opportunity to get on stage and make people happy, was more important than becoming famous, or even what I was dancing.	113
Ed Westwick	I don't come from a famous family and don't have this detachment from everyday people and everyday life. I'm just doing my job and the attention that comes with it is part of the territory.	113
Ray Comfort	Few would argue that Richard Dawkins is the world's most famous atheist, especially now that his friend and rival for the title, Christopher Hitchens, has now gone to meet his Maker.	113
Tony Parker	If Tim Duncan had 'Knicks' on his jersey, he'd be a god. He'd be more than Patrick Ewing. With four championships and two MVPs, I think people realize he's one of the best ever, but if he played in New York, he'd be way more famous.	113
Jairam Ramesh	A country that cannot feed itself cannot have self-pride, and in the mid-'60s 20 percent of all the wheat produced in America came into India. We were agriculturally a basket case. And 15 years later, 20 years later, we have become an agricultural power. This is the famous Green Revolution.	113
Michael Bolton	A lot of the greatest compositions were made famous by Sinatra.	113
Tamar Braxton	You can find love when you are famous if you are the same person you were before you were famous.	113
Billy Baldwin	When you become famous, you start getting invites to parties where there are famous athletes and famous rock stars, politicians, people who have tremendous power and affluence. It's not in my DNA, but certainly I have been exposed to it.	113
Robert Irwin	It's my observation that gardeners and gardening for a very long time have had to take a back seat. Architects are very famous; they've got huge projects. What goes on in and around them has been relegated to a very minor role.	113
Jeremy London	I've never dreamed of being famous. The idea of it really scares me.	113
Ravi Zacharias	Pleasure without God, without the sacred boundaries, will actually leave you emptier than before. And this is biblical truth, this is experiential truth. The loneliest people in the world are amongst the wealthiest and most famous who found no boundaries within which to live. That is a fact I've seen again and again.	114
Charles B. Rangel	Dr. King's famous 'I Have a Dream' speech was delivered at 'The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,' a call to justice beyond the traditional civil rights movement's focus.	114
Donnie Yen	My mum lives in Boston; she's famous for teaching wushu and t'ai chi. So from when I was young, my mum and aunt were like: 'You're training; you're not playing baseball or football.' Training every day was normal. Later, when I was almost a teenager, Bruce Lee became my idol.	114
Luciano Pavarotti	I want to be famous everywhere.	114
Madonna Ciccone	I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.	114
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.	114
Rosie O'Donnell	I think that once you open the door and allow people in on a certain aspect, it's very hard to then control how far that ripple effect is. So I think that the person who is known or famous has the ability to decide what they do or don't want to share.	114
Tim Berners-Lee	Celebrity damages private life.	114
Willie Geist	It doesn't matter if you're famous or infamous. All that matters is you're a celebrity.	114
Cat Deeley	Being famous hasn't changed my perception of myself - I've just grown up.	114
Lucy Hale	My ultimate dream is to become a famous star because I love to sing.	114
Ricki Lake	For somebody famous, it's weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.	114
Chris Evert	Being famous before you've formed your personality, before you have that self-esteem, is dangerous.	114
Sarah Michelle Gellar	Normal is such a hard word to use, because everyone's idea of normal is different. Real is what the word is. I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife. I think I lead a really real life.	114
Adrian Grenier	I think anybody who's famous has to deal with their fame in their own way, and I dealt with it by making a film about a kid who's looking out into the world of celebrity obsession.	114
Bonnie Wright	I'm really not for famous people who design a line for a company, when you know it's not really them creating it but a team of designers, especially when there are so many talented people who've taken the time to go and study fashion.	114
Carey Mulligan	I want to be in 'Glee', but I'm told I'm not famous enough to be a cameo yet.	114
Daniel Bruhl	If you play a real character who's famous and still alive, it makes things easier if you have the luck to have a good relationship with them.	114
Jack Horner	I just cannot imagine why anyone would want to be really famous. You go to a restaurant and people are pointing at you and they talk about you and they whisper and it is very disconcerting; it is a very odd feeling.	114
Jon Landau	What makes the Stones' arrogance so divine is that we all believe that long ago and far away they weren't rich and famous but poor and struggling, just like us.	114
Eminem	Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert's Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.	115
Daniel J. Boorstin	A sign of celebrity is that his name is often worth more than his services.	115
Dylan Moran	I'm actually about as famous as a fourth division footballer from the 70s.	115
Jean-Claude Van Damme	What is a movie star? It is an illusion. It was everything I ever wanted to be, but it became a kind of shell, non? It was what made me famous and got me women. But it wasn't real.	115
Ravi Shankar	I have my own spiritual guru, and I'm so happy, and I feel so satisfied that I might appreciate many other famous gurus, but, you know, I am not attracted that way because I have found the person.	115
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.	115
Shaquille O'Neal	And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.	115
Sharon Stone	There are a lot of good things about being famous but there are a few not so good things too.	115
Wesley Snipes	No one can train you to be famous. How do you deal with the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy? You have to be disciplined.	115
David Carradine	Quentin is very organic; there was no way that he was going to put someone else's hand in there and anyway, my hands are kind of famous. It seemed right.	115
Dorothy Hamill	I think Princess Diana probably had the most famous haircut, or Farrah Fawcett or Jennifer Aniston.	115
Eric Ripert	You don't become a chef to become famous.	115
Gabourey Sidibe	I'm really, really interested in the job of acting. I can really care less about being famous. I'm more about the work, and 'The Big C' was amazing, so I wanted to be a part of it.	115
Gavin DeGraw	It's not my goal to be a famous actor.	115
Lea Thompson	'Howard the Duck!' That's a really interesting movie. I appreciate my career, because I've had a lot of very interesting ups and downs, and most people... That movie is such a famous flop. In a land of a lot of flops, it's kind of awesome to be in a really famous flop. I mean, it's kind of a poster child for flops.	115
Lillian Hellman	It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.	115
Robert Caro	I never wanted to do biography just to tell the life of a famous man. I always wanted to use the life of a man to examine political power, because democracy shapes our lives.	115
Tiesto	I have been DJing in clubs for years. I always dreamed to be a famous DJ in Holland. And now it's worldwide. You can't imagine. I mean, I still can't believe it myself that everything has gone so well.	115
Agnetha Faltskog	When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity, which is where I found myself for a large part of my life, it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity, like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!	115
Chris Evert	When you're a famous, successful person at 16 years old, the rules change for you. Everybody is doing things for you to make life easier so you can go out and play. And I think you miss out on lot of growing up and a lot of reality checks.	115
George Thorogood	Look at Gleason in The Honeymooners. He was humorous but the way he lived wasn't really humorous. He was a bus driver. Who wants to be a bus driver? He didn't have any money and he was not famous. But despite that, the show is humorous.	115
Jason Alexander	Many people don't know our famous 'soup kitchen' episode on Seinfeld was inspired by an actual soup restaurant off 8th Avenue in New York.	115
Kelly Slater	Most of what Hawaii has to offer is no secret. Pipeline is probably the most famous wave in the world.	115
Michelle Pfeiffer	For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.	115
Ryan Giggs	I didn't become a footballer to be famous, I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day? I couldn't think of anything worse.	115
Sinead O'Connor	I seek no longer to be a 'famous' person, and instead I wish to live a 'normal' life.	115
Alex Ebert	There are many examples of great songs that become more famous when they are covered.	115
Brigitte Bardot	I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.	116
David Lee Roth	You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just famous for his sound.	116
F. Sionil Jose	All dictators, the rich and famous, to the lowest security guard who holds a gun, easily forget that power is transitory.	116
Freida Pinto	I keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India.	116
Michael Specter	When people say they prefer organic food, what they often seem to mean is they don't want their food tainted with pesticides and their meat shot full of hormones or antibiotics. Many object to the way a few companies - Monsanto is the most famous of them - control so many of the seeds we grow.	116
Peter Carey	Being famous as a writer is like being famous in a village. It's not really any very heady fame.	116
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.	116
Stephen Colbert	I liked comedy as a kid. When I was a kid, I'd go to sleep to, like, Bill Cosby albums every night. I'd listen to 'Bill Cosby Is A Very Funny Fellow... Right!' and 'Wonderfulness,' which are two of his most famous albums. Then the next night, I'd flip them over, 'cause it was the old stackable turntable.	116
Anton du Beke	I'm busier than ever and it's led to new opportunities. But I've never worried about being rich or famous - for me, it's all about the dancing.	116
Farrah Fawcett	I became famous almost before I had a craft.	116
Joan Collins	What is so weird is that young people who want to be 'celebrities' do not want to put in the hard work. They don't want to do the training, go to drama school, read Shakespeare, try different accents and study technique. They just want to be famous. It is not just in England; it's the same in America and all over Europe.	116
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.	116
Marilu Henner	You know, one of the biggest thrills I have is when famous people recognize me from Taxi.	116
Matt Damon	Fame is really strange. One day you're not famous, and then the next day you are, and the odd thing is that you know intellectually that nothing in the world is different. What mattered to you yesterday are the same things that matter today, and the rules all still apply - yet everyone looks at you differently.	116
Chloe Grace Moretz	A lot of people are like, 'So you want to be famous.' And I'm like, 'No, I want to be good at my craft. I don't care about fame, I don't care if I even ever make it. As long as people know what I am as an actress in this business, I'm set for my career right now.'	116
Doug Harvey	I know that there are no famous 'Doug Harvey plays.' And I'm proud of that.	116
Logan Lerman	I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.	116
Paula Danziger	Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians.	116
Seth Lloyd	Similarly, another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA.	116
Robin Leach	I developed the pilot for 'Entertainment Tonight' with Jack Haley, Jr. and Al Masini, who became my business partner in 'Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous,' 'Runaway' and several other shows and specials.	116
Jessica Alba	Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.	116
Mattie Stepanek	I've gotten books published. I've met famous people that are very nice. I look back and I say, 'Wow. Thank you, God, for giving me this gift. And thank you for helping me to keep going.'	117
America Ferrera	I really hate the duties of being a celebrity, like getting dressed up for the red carpet.	117
Dave Chappelle	I love being famous - it's phenomenal.	117
Ian Mckellen	I'm fortunate to be famous for two rather imposing characters like Magneto and Gandalf.	117
Jean-Claude Van Damme	When I was 24, I was full of life. I was that ham who wanted to be famous, a movie star, all that stuff. I think it's cool. But it was not what I was searching for, really. It was more a delusion.	117
Kate Adie	It wasn't glamorous in my day. In the regions, reporters were seen as such low life that they didn't merit their name in the Radio Times. Now people are interested in being famous. I never gave it a thought.	117
Stevie Nicks	When you're rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship, even if you try hard not to be. I've talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac, but I realize now that it is simply the only thing I've ever wanted to do.	117
Van Morrison	A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.	117
Dana Carvey	I have a theory that if you're famous more years than you're not famous, then you get a little nutty.	117
Alexander Payne	Anytime you cast a movie and you need someone famous in the lead part, you're a prisoner of whoever happens to be famous in the six-month window in which you're trying to get a film financed.	117
Robert M. Parker, Jr.	The first famous winemaking consultant was the late professor Emile Peynaud, who reigned over Bordeaux throughout the 1940s, '50s, '60s and '70s.	117
Kevin Bacon	My dad was an architect, and he wasn't a rich guy, but in our little world in Philadelphia, he was famous. He loved to see his picture in the paper. I wanted to be more famous than him.	118
Nancy Kerrigan	It was never about winning medals or being famous.	118
Norman Rockwell	I didn't know what to expect from a famous movie star; maybe that he'd be sort of stuck-up, you know. But not Gary Cooper. He horsed around so much... that I had a hard time painting him.	118
Taraji P. Henson	I would love to do a biopic of a famous singer, like Diana Ross or Donna Summer, or an old jazz story that we haven't seen before. I would love to do that! I would love to play Diana Ross 'cause she's an icon. I'm salivating to do that.	118
Zakk Wylde	You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music.	118
Alexander McCall Smith	My wife Elizabeth and I started The Really Terrible Orchestra for people like us who are pretty hopeless musicians who would like to play in an orchestra. It has been a great success. We give performances; we've become the most famous bad orchestra in the world.	118
Elisha Cuthbert	Some of the things I've seen a lot of my female-actress friends who are relatively famous receive - I've seen some hideous things. Like some really, really bad things... like, the FBI should be contacted immediately.	118
Ellen Pompeo	We're teaching young girls that this is what they should be focusing on: rich and famous girls who are rich and famous for nothing.	118
Jerry Lewis	People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius.	118
Pat Brown	While we are being fascinated by the tales of famous serial killers and how they were brought to justice, the real serial killer goes about his business with hardly a thought to being caught.	118
Brad D. Smith	I have this famous joke that I use: Why was God able to create Heaven and Earth in seven days and seven nights? Because he didn't have installed customers and legacy technology to worry about.	118
Corey Feldman	I literally was famous before I knew my own name.	118
Janelle Monae	When I got into the music industry, I wasn't focused on being the most famous artist or even getting a major record deal. It was just to make music on my own terms or create my own image, do my own hair, do my own makeup.	118
Rachel Hunter	But things move in circles: one minute it's the models who are famous, then it's the actresses, then it's the designers.	118
Amanda Seyfried	It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.	119
Barry Manilow	These days, with 'American Idol' and all the other reality shows, young people become famous overnight, and that can be very difficult to handle, the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.	119
Daniel J. Boorstin	The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.	119
Dave Chappelle	I'm famous today. People like me today. Might not like me tomorrow. You can't count on it.	119
Graham Norton	The people I want are very famous and very rich, and all I can offer them is a bit of exposure on TV and a bit of cash, so it's a miracle we get any guests at all. But we have been very lucky.	119
Jeff Bridges	For me, growing up, the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father, you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door, through my dad.	119
Mindy Kaling	I have a great job writing for 'The Office,' but, really, all television writers do is dream of one day writing movies. I'll put it this way: At the Oscars the most famous person in the room is, like, Angelina Jolie. At the Emmys the huge exciting celebrity is Bethenny Frankel. You get what I mean.	119
NeNe Leakes	I'm coming out with a wine... I'm actually a restaurateur. I have Famous Famiglia Pizzeria that has opened up in the Sacramento airport. I'm also working with my business partner on opening up the Linnethia Lounge.	119
Nicolas Chamfort	Celebrity is the advantage of being known to people who we don't know, and who don't know us.	119
Robert Dallek	Public scandals are America's favorite parlor sport. Learning about the flaws and misdeeds of the rich and famous seems to satisfy our egalitarian yearnings.	119
Sia Furler	I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.	119
Diplo	Good bands won't get famous anymore unless they get really lucky.	119
Kat Dennings	I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success, talent.	119
Alison Moyet	Becoming famous is a really shocking thing, especially when you don't have aspirations to it. It got to the point where I would try and avoid making eye contact with anyone. It was freaky, and it just happened overnight. I couldn't handle it.	119
Corey Feldman	My discrepancy with children in the industry is that they are made famous before they know who they are as human beings.	119
Emir Kusturica	I've been around some very famous people, but no one has the effect Maradona has; people tremble in his presence.	119
Lillie Langtry	They saw me, those reckless seekers of beauty, and in a night I was famous.	119
Adrienne Bailon	I've always had a career. I have been working hard since I was 15 years old. Being someone's 'girlfriend' was never what I wanted to be famous for. What makes you 'famous' isn't always what you want to be 'labeled' as or known for.	119
Jeff Daniels	I know there are people, if I go into a market or a city for the first time, there are people that are there that just want to see the famous person, or the guy from 'Dumb and Dumber' or whatever movie they liked. And that's fine, it gets them in the door, but then it's my job to give them something different.	119
David Bowie	I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.	120
Napoleon Bonaparte	Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.	120
Bethany Hamilton	I don't care to be famous. But at the same time, you look at all the role models these little girls have, and they don't have anyone to look up to. I mean, it's weird, but if I just hid out and didn't let myself be known, who would they look up to instead, you know?	120
Diane Kruger	I'm not a very good impersonator, my friends maybe, but not famous people.	120
Don Rickles	Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, 'Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?'	120
Elliott Erwitt	The advantage of taking pictures of the famous is that they get published.	120
Liev Schreiber	I get very nervous around famous people and I get nervous around beautiful women.	120
Nikki Reed	My name is not big enough for people to go, 'Let me throw money at you because you're so famous!'	120
Russell Peters	You do stand-up because you have to do it. If you're doing it to become 'famous,' you're wrong. If you're doing it to become a millionaire, you're doing it for the wrong reasons. In 2003, I was flat broke. I'd been doing stand-up for 14 years at that point. I loved it and just kept at it.	120
Sarah Jessica Parker	I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way.	120
Bill Gross	In terms of economic growth, PIMCO originated the famous phrase the 'new normal.'	120
Cyndi Lauper	Before I became famous I had a very full life, and that gave me a lot to pick from. I always use everything. It always comes in handy. Working with animals... Well, I just enjoyed that. That was the most peaceful time.	120
Danielle Steel	I'm astonished by my success. I wrote because I needed to and wanted to. It never occurred to me that I'd become famous.	120
Geoff Johns	There's a famous tension between Green Lantern and Green Arrow in the comic books. Those guys have always been friends. They started off as not on the same page, and then they quickly became best friends.	120
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.	120
Rainn Wilson	You meet people in Hollywood that are famous, and you're not sure what they got famous for.	120
Rick Astley	When our daughter was born, a light went on for me - there was more to life than what I was doing. It felt like being famous for being a paint salesman. It wasn't the dream I was sold on. I'd had enough of it.	120
Robert Wyatt	Being big and famous doesn't get you more freedom, it gets you less.	120
Tony Curtis	I'm world famous, everywhere I go there are people who love me because of I've been able to bring them some joy from the movies I've made.	120
Ann Hood	When I was seven years old, I fell in love with a series published by Bobbs-Merrill called 'The Childhood of Famous Americans.' In it, historical figures like Clara Barton, Nancy Hanks, Elias Howe, Patrick Henry, and dozens more came to life for me as children.	120
Diane Keaton	I think that people who are famous tend to be underdeveloped in their humanity skills.	120
John Travolta	I don't want to create controversy; I just have an opinion on things, and there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion if you are asked. Everyone wants that right, and because you are famous doesn't mean you have less of a right.	120
Luca Cordero di Montezemolo	Italy is famous for fashion, food, Ferrari, and furniture - furniture was a segment where the companies in the high end are all small.	120
Michelle Pfeiffer	First of all, plain and simple, you have no real idea of what it means to be famous until you become famous. It's a double-edged sword. Obviously there are a lot of amazing things about fame, but there are also a lot of challenging things about it.	120
Phil Daniels	I'm famous for being a silky midfielder.	120
Rick Danko	The Band was always famous for its retirements; we'd go and play and get a little petty cash together, and then not see each other till it was time to fill our pockets up again.	120
Jonny Greenwood	It feels like Radiohead are famous, but that no one knows who we are. Which is brilliant, really.	120
Adele	I just want to make music, I don't want people to talk about me. All I've ever wanted to do was sing. I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven't even known I'm on.	121
Catherine Deneuve	I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not.	121
Kate Winslet	I know the true meaning of getting by by the skin of my teeth; I do. It doesn't matter whether you've got money or you haven't, whether you're famous or not. This is the case for all women, actually; you have to carry on. You always have to carry on. And you can, because you have to.	121
Lorde	We all have Tumblr, and we all have Instagram and everything. People care so much about it because, now, any random can be famous on the Internet if their world looks good on Tumblr. And so everyone at high school strives for this kind of aesthetic correctness.	121
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe	A chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier. That is why Chippendale is famous.	121
Marilynne Robinson	Oddly enough, my favorite genre is not fiction. I'm attracted by primary sources that are relevant to historical questions of interest to me, by famous old books on philosophy or theology that I want to see with my own eyes, by essays on contemporary science, by the literatures of antiquity.	121
Erin O'Connor	With high fashion, it's a performance. You're trying to interpret a fantasy in a very physical way, and you really are playing a character. I've played men, dead people, famous people, historical icons, and it's no mean feat. It's quite an insular experience even though the crowd is in front of you and there's an expectation.	121
Lawrence Lessig	The real harm of term extension comes not from these famous works. The real harm is to the works that are not famous, not commercially exploited, and no longer available as a result.	121
Roberto Cavalli	In the beginning, I loved being famous, but now I am tired of it and I would like to go back to my freedom.	121
Sun Myung Moon	I served the famous professors and scholars, and eventually they learned that the Reverend Moon is superior to them. Even Nobel laureate academics who thought they were at the center of knowledge are as nothing in front of me.	121
Margot Kidder	The thing about being famous is, it's weird. The only people who get how weird it is are other famous people.	121
Jude Law	Face it, I didn't become famous until I took my clothes off.	121
Jim Capaldi	They gave it to us for about five bucks a week, and we just went there to live. Probably the first band that ever did that back then and it became the famous cottage.	121
Jasper Carrott	I've played with some very famous bandits in my time on the celebrity golf circuit.	121
Al Pacino	The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You're in a conversation and everybody's agreeing with what you're saying - even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear.	122
Carol Burnett	Celebrity was a long time in coming; it will go away. Everything goes away.	122
Curtis Jackson	It's difficult for me to trust a woman. Men are attracted to beautiful women. Women are attracted to men who offer security - financial security. And if you have money and you're famous, women find that sexy.	122
Fergie	I'm famous for splurging at fast-food places. I'm currently obsessed with Taco Bell's bean and cheese burritos with extra green sauce and extra cheese. Gluttony!	122
Marina and the Diamonds	I feel like everyone has the right to privacy, even if you're the most famous person in the world.	122
Whoopi Goldberg	You know, be an actor because you love to act. Don't be an actor because you think you're going to get famous, because that's luck.	122
Barry Gibb	I've worked with a lot of people who are more famous than myself who are terribly insecure.	122
Hayley Atwell	When actors get a bad name for diva behavior - I've never seen it. Because my experience with people who are really famous actors is that they work really hard.	122
Herb Caen	When a place advertises itself as 'World Famous,' you may be sure it isn't.	122
Mario Balotelli	When I wasn't famous, I had a lot of friends, almost all of them Italian. The racism only started when I started to play football.	122
Terry Wogan	A talk show is about having a look at a famous face, a bit of stand-up comedy, knockabout stuff - an interview is what Barbara Walters or Connie Chung does in the States, in-depth, done properly.	122
Tia Carrere	Jason Lee is the most famous actor from Hawaii I can think of.	122
Dirk Benedict	Be very clear as to what your dream is. Nowadays it is fairly certain that 90 percent of all actors really just want to be rich and famous as the solution to all that ails.	122
Rupert Friend	I don't think you can decide how famous or not you become.	122
Bruce Willis	I've always had confidence. Before I was famous, that confidence got me into trouble. After I got famous, it just got me into more trouble.	123
Eric Ries	Famous pivot stories are often failures but you don't need to fail before you pivot. All a pivot is is a change is strategy without a change in vision. Whenever entrepreneurs see a new way to achieve their vision - a way to be more successful - they have to remain nimble enough to take it.	123
Frank Black	It's sour grapes, I admit, I want to be more famous so people are examining my work couplet by couplet, you know what I mean? That's the level where I want to go.	123
Helen Hayes	Stardom can be a gilded slavery.	123
Kimbal Musk	Nikola Tesla, one of Colorado's famous residents, always believed that the gasoline engine made no sense.	123
Meek Mill	I don't like a girl on social media, when you have an open inbox, answering questions from dudes left and right every day. What's the point? It's like having your number all out. Everybody think they're famous when they get 100,000 followers on Instagram and 5,000 on Twitter.	123
Michael Caine	In the sixties, everyone you knew became famous. My flatmate was Terence Stamp. My barber was Vidal Sassoon. David Hockney did the menu in a restaurant I went to. I didn't know anyone unknown who didn't become famous.	123
Rick Riordan	I don't think about being famous, really. Being an author, I don't generally get stopped as I walk down the street. It's not like being a movie star.	123
Van Morrison	Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.	123
Romola Garai	I realise there's an innate paradox in promoting oneself on the one hand and saying, 'Oh, I don't want to be famous,' on the other.	123
Sandra Lee	Nobody makes bouillabaisse from scratch. It's all a bunch of malarkey. Even the restaurants buy a commercial-grade product. I had a very famous chef tell me that.	123
Jewel	Some people want fame, popularity and huge sales. I've always hoped to have a really long career. So I've tried to make each of my creative decisions and business decisions to allow for longevity. As a side effect I got really famous and really big. I didn't realize the two could go together.	123
John Cusack	Hitler was so modern, in that he was obsessed with being famous. He was caught up with this rush to be have achieved greatness before turning 30.	123
Aidan Quinn	Celebrity, to me, is not a thing to seek.	123
Adriana Lima	You don't have to have an attitude if you're famous.	124
Beth Ditto	I don't feel famous and I didn't want my autobiography to be like a Paris Hilton story.	124
Guy Kawasaki	As communicators and marketers, people are so accustomed to thinking from the 'top down.' Finding the great analyst or the famous journalist who will endorse what you do and tell the rest of the world to go and buy your product.	124
Alice Waters	I'm focused on the next generation, because I think it's very hard to break the habit of adults who've got salt and sugar addictions and just ways of being in this world. It's very hard even for the most enlightened people at famous universities that are very wealthy to spend the money that it takes to feed the students something delicious.	124
Carnie Wilson	Becoming famous is a strange thing in your own right.	124
Justin Timberlake	The worst thing about being famous is the invasion of your privacy.	124
Ken Follett	One of the hardest things for me, now that I'm famous, is finding people who can read my stuff and give me an honest critique.	124
Michael Schumacher	If you're lucky enough to be famous, then it's great if you can use your fame and the power your fame gives you to draw attention to things that really matter.	124
Edward Furlong	When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.	124
Michael Ian Black	I actually don't know anyone who wants to be famous for fame's sake, at least not anyone I respect. But you need to have a certain amount of power in order to be able to do what you want.	124
John Paul DeJoria	Vidal Sassoon was the most famous hairstylist in the history of the world.	124
Cat Stevens	I became very famous, as a teenager, and my name and photo were splashed in all the media. They made me larger than life, so I wanted to live larger than life, and the only way to do that was to be intoxicated.	125
CeeLo Green	I think I'll always be famous. I just hope I don't become infamous.	125
David Chang	People are getting famous now for serving food out of a truck, or for, well, pork buns. I don't know if I'm really pleased to be a part of that. I'm somewhat terrified of what the future holds, especially in America.	125
Kazuo Ishiguro	I loved cowboy films and TV series, and I learned bits of English from them. My favorite was 'Laramie', with Robert Fuller and John Smith. I used to watch 'The Lone Ranger', which had been famous in Japan as well. I idolized these cowboys.	125
Kevin Pietersen	I married a pretty famous girl, and when we drive through town there's usually a car following us, when I walk out of my front door in Chelsea there's six guys waiting for me.	125
Luciano Pavarotti	In opera, as with any performing art, to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course, but you must also be famous. The two are different things.	125
Olly Murs	I'm a big soccer fan, so any soccer player that I meet, I always get star struck. I've met a lot of big stars - Justin Timberlake, Michael Buble - and I don't ever get starstruck, but when I met famous ex-football players, I just got completely starstruck.	125
Bipasha Basu	When I started out as a model, I took things for granted. Because I bagged work thanks to my looks, I didn't give my body any importance. I was a couch potato who'd eat anything. Then, in 2005, a tabloid ran a story calling me fat. I thought, 'I'm famous. How can I be fat?' It was a slap. I decided to get fit.	125
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.	125
Lionel Richie	Kids will keep it real. If I've ever had in my life a great anchor, it's them. They get in your head, 'don't get too famous.' If you think you're really famous and think you're really hip, go hang out with your kids for an afternoon. That's about as earthbound as it's going to get.	125
Mark Helprin	My father was famous for his photographic memory. He was in the OSS. They trained him to be captured on purpose and to read upside down and backwards and commit to memory every document in Germany he saw as he was being interrogated - every schedule on every wall. So, that photographic memory somehow made its way to me when I was young.	125
Edward Furlong	I've always liked women. But I don't want somebody who likes me because I'm famous. I like girls who are intelligent and who are kind of quiet like me.	125
Bonnie Tyler	I've been singing since I was 16 because I love it - I wanted to be a singer, not a star. There's a difference between wanting to be famous and wanting to sing well.	126
Casey Kasem	The first syndicating I tried was when two partners and I created a production company in 1952. We wanted to syndicate famous Bible stories and sell them for $25 a show.	126
Gerard Butler	I was born in Glasgow. But my family is pretty much from a little town called Paisley, famous for its cotton mills and paisley pattern.	126
Jo Brand	One thing lots of Christians do have in common is that they can't help coming across as smug. This winds lots of people up, particularly because famous Christians pronounce on the life of the poor from their very lovely affluent homes filled with their very lovely families and attractive pets.	126
Morrissey	The fire in the belly is essential, otherwise you become Michael Buble - famous and meaningless.	126
Pharrell Williams	I don't want to end up being a circus act, doing my most famous tricks when I'm 70.	126
Seth Shostak	Neil Armstrong was no Christopher Columbus. In most respects, he was better. Unlike the famous fifteenth century seafarer, Armstrong knew where he landed. He also spent his time in public service, not in jail, and his passing was marked by world-wide encomiums. He ended his days as a celebrated explorer rather than a royal inconvenience.	126
Tony Hawk	When I started skating, it was such a small community. You didn't aspire to be rich or famous or make a career out of it because that wasn't something anyone had done yet.	126
John Frusciante	Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people; it doesn't sound good to me. If you're making music in order to become famous or loved by the masses... that's not what I'm about. When somebody's making music for the wrong reasons, I hear it right away.	126
Kristen Bell	I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.	126
Matt Damon	I fell in love with a civilian. Not an actress and not a famous actress at that. Because then the attention doesn't double - it grows exponentially. Because then suddenly everybody wants to be in your bedroom. But I don't really give them anything.	126
Michael N. Castle	Maya Angelou, the famous African American poet, historian, and civil rights activist who is hailed be many as one of the great voices of contemporary literature, believes a struggle only makes a person stronger.	126
Maggie Q	Sometimes you're famous before you're good.	126
Seth Rogen	Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.	201
Wale	I'm a regular person. I know a lot of people love being famous. I don't like it. I'm just chillin'. YouknowwhatI'msayin'?	201
Adam McKay	Ultimately, the only people who are in any way edified by hanging with famous people are you at the age of 11 and your mom.	201
Cameron Russell	Usually, TED only invites the most accomplished and famous people in the world to give talks.	201
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.	201
Diablo Cody	To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose.	201
Eliza Dushku	I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big, famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.	201
Jay Leno	You're not famous until my mother has heard of you.	201
T-Pain	I don't do the whole, 'Put my name on it, make me famous' thing.	201
Brian Skerry	The Oceanic White Tip is considered one of the most dangerous sharks in the sea along with the Great White and Tiger. It is responsible for some of the most famous episodes of man-eating in history, such as when the U.S.S. Indianapolis sank in 1945.	201
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.	201
Louie Anderson	One time, I came off stage and a guy named Roman Decare, God rest his soul, he was a comic. 'Louie, if you do that family stuff, and you're a clean comic on stage, you'll become famous.' And, for some reason, a switch clicked, and I started doing the family stuff, and it became a giant part of my life.	201
Andy Warhol	Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.	202
Ben Carson	There is no fulfillment in things whatsoever. And I think one of the reasons that depression reigns supreme amongst the rich and famous is some of them thought that maybe those things would bring them happiness. But what, in fact, does is having a cause, having a passion. And that's really what gives life's true meaning.	202
Dave Attell	I get recognized, but I'm not really a famous famous.	202
Emma Thompson	I don't mean being famous is a perk, because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk, but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like, I don't know, general friendliness and willingness to please, just to point out two.	202
Hedy Lamarr	To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.	202
Nat King Cole	I am famous because I am an African American jazz artist.	202
Tom Wolfe	There has been a time on earth when poets had been young and dead and famous - and were men. But now the poet as the tragic child of grandeur and destiny had changed. The child of genius was a woman, now, and the man was gone.	202
Uma Thurman	I don't feel famous.	202
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.	202
David Walliams	I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins, and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name with somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.	202
Nick Frost	People say, 'Oh, you're famous now, so you must go to L.A.' - I don't live in L.A. now - but it's like, why wouldn't you? The weather is amazing, the film industry's there, it's a great quality of life.	202
Taylor Lautner	I got the famous Oprah hug!	202
Chloe Grace Moretz	I follow the most random people on Twitter. I follow famous people like Khloe Kardashian, who surprisingly makes really funny tweets all the time.	202
J. K. Rowling	The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous.	203
Dave Chappelle	You can become famous but you can't become unfamous. You can become infamous but not unfamous.	203
Linda Ronstadt	I wanted to sing when I was little. That's what I liked doing. It didn't occur to me that you became famous or anything like that.	203
Seth Rogen	I remember, when I was an up-and-coming comic, how annoyed I would be when the famous guys would show up and just take everyone's spots.	203
Jay Leno	You aren't famous until my mother has heard of you.	203
Michael Dirda	'The Admirable Crichton' is probably Barrie's most famous work after 'Peter Pan', nearly a pendant to that classic.	203
Jennifer Hudson	Ever since grammar school, I knew I wanted to be famous - I always wanted to be a singer.	203
Katharine Hepburn	When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.	204
Louis C. K.	The problem is, the more famous you get, the more people see you who didn't choose to.	204
Lady Gaga	What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.	204
Bo Burnham	I was definitely not the kid that just wanted to be famous for no reason whatsoever and then happened to find comedy. Fame and all that stuff have always been slightly terrifying to me, and it makes me very anxious.	204
Brad Paisley	I have a very down-to-earth father. My wife is an actress and famous herself is more down-to-earth than anyone I know.	204
Francesca Annis	Exposure makes you famous, not just good work. Famous is being plastered everywhere.	204
Robert M. Pirsig	I did not want to write one of those sequels that famous first-book authors get into where everybody says, 'Oh yeah.'	204
Ansel Elgort	I think that most people who are just artists, who are getting famous, would trade a lot of their fame back for some normalcy, pretty much immediately.	204
Mario Balotelli	Sometimes I dream to be alone and that nobody would talk to me. But I understand that football is really important and that everybody watches it. When you're famous, you have to do photos or autographs, especially for the kids.	204
Mario Testino	I find that my entire life has come to me, and things happened without me planning them. You know, I never asked to photograph Princess Diana, and that made me more famous than I wanted. I never asked to photograph Madonna, and that pushed me to another level. There are things that just take you into the limelight.	204
Alan Alda	I had never really wanted to be famous. Everyone is supposed to want to be rich and famous, but as a boy I never knew what rich was, and the first view I had of famous made me leery.	205
Alanis Morissette	I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.	205
Bill O'Reilly	Public misbehavior by the famous is a powerful teaching tool.	205
Britney Spears	The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff.	205
Fran Lebowitz	Andy Warhol made fame more famous.	205
Herschel Walker	I was determined to make Renaissance Man Food Services and Herschel's Famous 34 major players in a very tough industry.	205
Samuel L. Jackson	I walk the streets, take the train, it's real simple. Some actors create their own mythology: 'Oh, I'm so famous I can't go places, because I created this mythology that I'm so famous I can't go places.'	205
Stephen Colbert	In the media age, everybody was famous for 15 minutes. In the Wikipedia age, everybody can be an expert in five minutes. Special bonus: You can edit your own entry to make yourself seem even smarter.	205
Steve Wozniak	But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it's a lie and they're protected if the person's famous or it's a company.	205
Jeremy Renner	I know it's a cliche but I never wanted to be famous. I don't believe anybody wants to be famous.	205
Jo Nesbo	I don't think I'll ever feel as famous or as popular as I felt when I was a 17-year-old soccer player in Modle. Only about 20,000 people live there and 12,000 of them come to every game. Running onto the pitch each week was just the most fantastic feeling. Nothing can beat that.	205
Henry A. Kissinger	The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.	206
Philip Seymour Hoffman	I have so much empathy for these young actors that are 19 and all of a sudden they're beautiful and famous and rich. I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'd be dead.'	206
Diane Kruger	It's quite a famous story that takes place on Christmas Eve, and the Germans, French, and Scottish are trying to make peace one night and they bury their dead and they play football. I play a German opera singer, in German, which I never have so I am really excited about that.	207
Evangeline Lilly	To put it simply - you know, a lot of people believe that the benefit of this job is fame and fortune. I believe that you pay for the fortune through the fame. I don't buy into the notion that being famous is somehow a good thing, or an exciting thing, or a wonderful thing.	207
Fred Allen	A celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well known, and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.	207
Howard Stern	I wanted to go hide. I wasn't looking to be more famous, I'm famous enough.	207
Kristin Scott Thomas	I'm not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I'm too feeble.	207
David Walliams	I've noticed that once you leave London you do kind of become a bit more famous. People in London are a bit too cool for school. It's not so unusual to see someone from London in the street. But outside of London people are a bit more excited to see you and come out and support you.	207
Johnny Knoxville	A lot of stand-up comedy guys, when they get a little famous, just give up their stand-up career, and it cancels out the thing that set them apart.	207
Maisie Williams	I look at other people my age in this industry, other famous people my age, and they've just got famous friends. Which is cool, but I love being normal and just chilling at mine.	207
Roberto Cavalli	If somebody for some reason, for music or for movie, becomes famous, it's because they have something, something special.	207
Dawn French	My daughter couldn't care less about me being famous. She finds it revolting and, like a lot of teenagers, is virtually allergic to me. That started at 12 and hasn't gone anywhere yet.	208
Van Morrison	I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.	208
Danielle Steel	I wrote because I needed to and wanted to. It never occurred to me that I'd become famous.	208
Michael Palin	Fame changes everything. When you're well-known, you're expected to be different. Some people assume you must have a yacht and four homes. Or that you're famous because you are 'A Decent Man'.	208
Andy Warhol	I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is 'In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.'	209
Dave Grohl	It was that famous joke: What's the last thing the drummer said before he got kicked out of the band? 'Hey, I wrote a song.'	209
George Lucas	I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn't care what kind of movies I made.	209
Lauren Bacall	A famous love story is hard to maintain when you both live in the spotlight.	209
Nicholas Sparks	None of my characters are rich or famous, and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone.	209
Nicole Scherzinger	I was a shy kid, but somehow I knew I would make it as a performer. I'd always be telling my mum that I was going to be a famous singer. In my school yearbooks I would write, 'Remember me when I'm famous.' I knew I had a gift.	209
Tom Felton	The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality.	209
Matthew Perry	I was a guy who wanted to become famous. There was steam coming out of my ears, I wanted to be famous so badly. You want the attention, you want the bucks, and you want the best seat in the restaurant. I didn't think what the repercussions would be.	209
Alan Alda	It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's only necessary to be rich.	210
David Hasselhoff	Celebrity means that I can affect people in a positive way.	210
Mike Birbiglia	When I was starting out, I thought I would go into comedy and there would be a mentor, like the Philip Seymour Hoffman character in 'Almost Famous,' in my life, and there just wasn't. It was really frustrating for me because I desired that so much.	210
Winona Ryder	It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.	210
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.	210
Bo Burnham	The problem for us, as viewers, is that we want famous people who are passionate about the things they're famous for, because that makes them worthy of the attention. But I think many of those famous people just want to be famous.	211
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.	211
Idris Elba	It was deeply important for me to understand where Mandela came from. Because we know where he was going, and that's a famous story, but who was he? Where did he come from? What was his upbringing?	211
Rod Stewart	There is this power that comes with being famous.	211
Jason Reitman	I hear the way people talk about the children of famous people. They're not treated very well. The presumptions are usually quite awful. So I tried to establish myself with a couple of movies. After 'Juno' I thought: 'I think I've defined myself enough as my own director that I'd love to work with my father.'	211
Erica Jong	The stones themselves are thick with history, and those cats that dash through the alleyways must surely be the ghosts of the famous dead in feline disguise.	212
Gwen Stefani	As a famous person you think how you're gonna end it, get away and have a normal life.	212
Michael Keaton	Have I ever been to a party with a ton of famous people in it? Yes, several times, so I guess that's a Hollywood lifestyle.	212
Zig Ziglar	I seldom read anything that is not of a factual nature because I want to invest my time wisely in the things that will improve my life. Don't misunderstand; there is nothing wrong with reading purely for the joy of it. Novels have their place, but biographies of famous men and women contain information that can change lives.	213
Eddie Van Halen	I never dreamt of being a musician for my livelihood. I certainly never would have wanted to be in the business that I'm in, meaning the fame and the glory, the glitter, the rock star, the famous part.	213
Edmund White	I do probably come down a little hard on a group of people I call the 'blue chip gays.' I mean people who have managed to become very, very famous and are still very famous partly through staying in the closet, like Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly, Susan Sontag, Harold Brodkey and others.	213
George Clooney	I've walked with very famous people down red carpets over to the crowd of thousands of people, and you'll reach out to shake their hand and they've got a camera in their hand. And they don't even get their hand out, because they're recording the whole time.	213
Nate Berkus	I didn't necessarily want to be famous growing up, but I knew I would be a good famous person because I'm not offended if somebody comes up to me and knows things about me and wants to engage me in a conversation.	213
Orson Welles	Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else.	214
Adam Levine	The only reason I became the singer in the band is because I sang the best. It wasn't out of some desire to be a star or be a famous singer. It's not like I love interviews.	214
Elizabeth Gilbert	I know I'm not a self-indulgent idiot; I also know I'm not the second coming of Deepak Chopra. If I had believed either of those, or both, as some people do when they get famous, that's when the mental illness arrives.	214
Marina and the Diamonds	I didn't even listen to any music until I was 19, really. I just wanted to be famous. But I didn't say it to anyone because I was really embarrassed at the thought.	214
Nate Berkus	I didn't grow up thinking I'd be a decorator. Design is my greatest passion, and it naturally just pulled me down the path. Same with TV. Being famous or having a show was never the motivation. I got a call and was swept up by the challenge of that first small space redesign.	214
Peter Jackson	I used to send away for eight-minute Super 8 movies of various Ray Harryhausen scenes advertised on the back of 'Famous Monsters of Filmland' magazine.	214
Rachel Nichols	I have smelled some very famous and undoubtedly sexy boys. And sometimes, as cute as they are, I'd rather have them as a friend - just because of the way they smell!	214
Shawn Amos	The Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie was an unexpected, unplanned pop culture phenomena. My father went from star-maker to star.	214
John C. Maxwell	If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it - young or old, successful or less-than-successful, unknown or famous - is changed by it.	215
Simon Sinek	The world is a bell curve. Classroom test scores, employee performance in a company or how many people really, really like you. No matter the population you're studying, they always fit neatly across the standard deviations of the famous bell curve.	215
Daniel Radcliffe	I think it's useful, as a famous person, to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are - because otherwise I'd be sitting here thinking I'm keeping secrets, and wondering when you're going to find out.	215
Matthew McConaughey	See, 'A Time to Kill' was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.	215
Martin Jacques	Marx and Engels are arguably history's most famous couple. Such was the closeness of their collaboration that it is not always easy to recall which works bore both names, which just that of Marx, and which just Engels.	215
Bill O'Reilly	Jesus of Nazareth was the most famous human being who ever lived on this planet, and he had no infrastructure, and it's never been done. He had no government, no PR guy, no money, no structure. He had nothing, yet he became the most famous human being ever.	216
Denis Leary	I learned a long time ago, if you want to keep your friends in show business, don't get famous. Because as soon as you get famous, a lot of the people you used to know, who didn't, become incredibly bitter and jealous. It's part of the territory.	216
Robert Gottlieb	Most famous stage actors tactfully fade away.	216
Alison Gopnik	Imagine if baseball were taught the way science is taught in most inner-city schools. Schoolchildren would get lectures about the history of the World Series. High school students would occasionally reproduce famous plays of the past. Nobody would get in the game themselves until graduate school.	216
Steve Vai	I didn't have any aspirations of becoming famous or successful; in fact I was scared to death of all that. I remember somebody once said that if a rock musician goes on tour, he goes insane. I was very impressionable and I carried this useless weight of fear around with me about going on tour, all because of this thing somebody said.	216
Julie Burchill	Fact is, famous people say fame stinks because they love it so - like a secret restaurant or holiday island they don't want the hoi polloi to get their grubby paws on.	216
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.	217
Cher	I've been famous my entire life; I don't know any other way.	217
Courtney Love	Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed.	217
Simon Cowell	I turned down many chances to be on TV before 'Pop Idol' because I really wasn't interested in being famous. I didn't need it and didn't want it.	217
Winona Ryder	What's awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That's scary, and they just seem to think it's okay to do it, like you're public property.	217
Rashida Jones	I have to say, you know, I've seen so many people go through the cycle and become famous and not famous anymore and, you know, want - have their priorities change and want different things.	217
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.	217
James Wolcott	Who elected Larry King America's grief counselor? We, the viewing public, did, by driving up his ratings whenever somebody famous passes.	217
Michael Arrington	There are lots of things that I will probably never experience in this life. Military combat. Being dictator of a small central American country. Dunking a basketball. Being a famous rock star. Or walking on Mars. But one thing I have been, and will always be, is an entrepreneur.	217
David Bowie	Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.	218
Chuck Norris	Whether we are famous or not, we all need God. We also need other people.	218
Ed Sheeran	I've never dated anyone in Hollywood - or anyone famous, for that matter. I don't know that I'm ever gonna write a song that you will know who it's about.	218
Harry Connick, Jr.	The whole 'American Idol' way of looking at things is the antithesis of what I grew up with. There are a whole lot of kids wanting to be famous now, whereas if I'd even mentioned that word to one of my teachers, I would have got into a whole load of trouble.	218
Robbie Williams	I have only one ambition, which is to be famous.	218
Madeleine M. Kunin	The death of a famous person is different from the death of a loved one, whether it is Michael Jackson, Frank McCourt, or Walter Cronkite. We didn't know any of them personally, and yet, we experience a sense of loss.	218
Mickey Rourke	Hollywood's famous for putting you in a box.	218
Eric Clapton	I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.	219
Murray Rothbard	The most famous and one of the most thoroughgoing opponents of bank credit was Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson reacted to the panic of 1819 as a confirmation of his pessimistic views on banks.	219
Diablo Cody	You know, I did not like being famous. It was a stressful and ugly time, and I'm glad it's over.	219
Walt Disney	I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.	220
Bruno Mars	Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There's a lot of things that come with fame - it's what people in the limelight have to do.	220
Helena Bonham Carter	Famous people come up to me, but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.	220
Jeff Foxworthy	Nothing in life prepares you to be famous.	220
Malcolm Gladwell	The most common form of giantism is a condition called acromegaly, and acromegaly is caused by a benign tumor on your pituitary gland that causes an overproduction of human growth hormone. And throughout history, many of the most famous giants have all had acromegaly.	220
Susan Sontag	The love of the famous, like all strong passions, is quite abstract. Its intensity can be measured mathematically, and it is independent of persons.	220
Michael Eric Dyson	Bill Cosby is a famous black guy who has a bully pulpit the size of the world; it's global. He puts his colossal foot on the vulnerable necks of poor people, and as a result of that, we don't have a balanced conversation.	220
Emily Dickinson	I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.	221
Bette Davis	I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.	221
Joe Rogan	I really feel like it's a travesty to make a child famous. I really do.	221
Melissa McCarthy	Famous doesn't mean anything. Just because people know my face doesn't mean they know us or that it makes us any more interesting or better.	221
Nick Cannon	Even though I am fortunate to have certain luxuries, sometimes, I am even amazed by what people with money have and do. I want to remind people that just because you might be rich and famous, it doesn't mean you have to take yourself too seriously.	221
Seth Rogen	The good thing about L.A. is that there's always someone more famous 100 yards away from me.	221
Caitlin Moran	I hate that tabloid idea of anybody who is famous having to forfeit their privacy.	221
Michael Shermer	Having a Nobel Prize or being a famous scientist will get you a week to a week and a half, metaphorically speaking, of a hearing for your new idea, but after that, it's going to tank if you don't have the evidence and support for it.	221
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.	221
Robin Williams	The bad thing about being a famous comedian is that every now and then someone approaches me to tell an old joke. Don't tell me jokes - I have that. People also say the weirdest things, sometimes sarcastic things, and even evil things. They like to provoke to get a reaction.	222
Christopher Lee	My great-grandmother was born in London, the daughter of a Brixton coachman, and became the most famous singer in Australia. Her name was Marie Carandini, Madame Carandini.	222
Joe Rogan	I had a sense of who I was before I got famous.	222
Kate Moss	The first time I went to Johnny Depp's house in LA is when I realized what I was getting myself into. I knew he was famous, but I didn't really know what that entailed.	222
Adam McKay	Celebrities and 'famous' people are just regular folks. I know, it's a shocking and potentially dangerous statement.	222
Annette Bening	It's hard to make a living in this business. Unions aren't as strong as they used to be. For a journeyman actor - someone who doesn't have a famous name but has consistent work in theater or film or TV - it has become harder to get through, harder to raise a family.	222
Beyonce Knowles	I wanted to be famous for my music and my talent, and I always wished I could cut it out when I left the stage.	223
Bob Newhart	Sometimes you forget you're famous. You wonder, 'Why is that person staring at me?'	223
Cher	I know I'm not supposed to have any opinions about politics, because I'm famous.	223
Christopher Walken	My hair was famous before I was.	223
Jodie Foster	I'd always need a creative outlet. But sometimes, I do fantasize what my life would be like if I weren't famous.	224
Rob Lowe	It took being famous to make me cool, which, by the way, I never forgot.	225
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.	225
Rod Stewart	I became famous, I think, really because of the interpretation of other people's songs, way back when, and that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm a lazy bugger.	225
Roseanne Barr	I want to eat, cook, meet famous people and make fun of them.	225
Emily Dickinson	Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.	226
Brett Favre	Well I would say that we're regular people first of all and we're normal and it's obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we're not immune to tragedy.	226
Moliere	Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading. Their fame was due to their having done something that needed to be doing in their day. The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired.	226
Zadie Smith	I have an ambition to write a great book, but that's really a competition with myself. I've noticed that a lot of young writers, people in all media, want to be famous but they don't really want to do anything. I can't think of anything less worth striving for than fame.	226
Hugh Jackman	I'm doing a new musical on Broadway, which opens in October called 'The Boy from Oz,' where I play Peter Allen. For those of you who don't know, he became first famous in America for marrying Liza Minelli.	301
James Thurber	Comedy has to be done en clair. You can't blunt the edge of wit or the point of satire with obscurity. Try to imagine a famous witty saying that is not immediately clear.	301
Solange Knowles	I'd rather be the protector than the protected. I'm naturally the protector - being a mother and having a famous family. You have to navigate when it's right to protect.	301
Yo-Yo Ma	People will ask, 'Are you famous?' And I always answer, 'My mother thinks so.'	301
Ariel Sharon	There is a famous saying: 'It's hard to be a Jew.' It's also hard to be a Palestinian. I know that.	302
Carrie Fisher	I was born on October 21, 1956 in Burbank, California. My father, Eddie Fisher, was a famous singer. My mother, Debbie Reynolds, was a movie star. Her best-known role was in 'Singin' In The Rain.'	302
Matthew Perry	If I hadn't had the experience of being famous, I would have searched for it my whole life. I would have just gone on and on trying to find it.	302
Jesse Eisenberg	I'm hardly the most notable person in 'Zombieland.' The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.	302
Hedy Lamarr	Dates with actors, finally, just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became, the more I narrowed down my choices.	303
Alan Alda	What I can't completely understand is most other people's fascination with what the famous among us do with their lips and the rest of their bodies. Why do ordinary people become the target of this curiosity simply by virtue of the fact that other people recognise their names and faces but know almost nothing else about them?	304
Blake Shelton	What I do is what I like; if I'm not as famous as I'd like to be, I've done it to myself.	304
Emily Dickinson	Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.	305
Andie MacDowell	There are loads of actresses that modelled. They just weren't famous. There weren't a lot that were really known as models that became actresses, but there are hordes of them that did modelling before such as Anjelica Huston, Jessica Lange, Sharon Stone, Demi Moore and Geena Davis. There are loads of 'em.	305
Chris Rock	I love being famous. It's almost like being white.	305
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.	305
Dario Argento	My mother was a famous photographer for actresses, including Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, and so many. I remember I went to school close to my mother's studio, and for years, I went to the studio after school and just watched how she captured these beauties.	305
Marilyn Manson	I'm so famous, people expect me to sell as many records as Celine Dion or Puff Daddy.	306
Dave Chappelle	Being famous is great, it's not like bad or horrible or anything.	306
Noel Gallagher	I absolutely loved being famous. It was all great, up until the point when it wasn't.	307
Mike Posner	It's not the job of the art to accommodate me and make me more money, make me more famous and get me more girls.	307
Edmund Burke	Passion for fame: A passion which is the instinct of all great souls.	308
Jane Goodall	I've watched a lot of people who became famous who completely change and I think it's because they tend to believe all the hype that's out there. I don't think there's that much hype about me.	309
Marilyn vos Savant	Know the names of past and current artists who are most famous for playing their instruments.	309
William Godwin	I was famous in our college for calm and impassionate discussion; for one whole summer, I rose at five and went to bed at midnight, that I might have sufficient time for theology and metaphysics.	309
Chris Rock	There's some downsides to being famous, which are not even worth mentioning. But to combat the bad sides of being famous, you really should take advantage of the good sides. The good sides are, you can use that fame to get projects you might not normally get.	310
Noel Gallagher	Anything that's of any use, famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap.	310
Gary Oldman	I don't go to premieres. I don't go to parties. I don't covet the Oscar. I don't want any of that. I don't go out. I just have dinner at home every night with my kids. Being famous, that's a whole other career. And I haven't got any energy for it.	311
Bo Bennett	If you think Abraham Lincoln became famous for inventing the town car, it is time to spend a few hours on history.	312
Erica Jong	Famous people complain about fame, but they never want to give it back, myself included.	312
John Mayer	I'm willing to make compromises based on someone I think is the one, but I think it's psychologically important to people when they're famous to be the only famous person they know.	312
Rafael Nadal	The family is very important. They make me feel good always because if I won, when I started to be famous, the relationship never changed with my friends and family.	312
Richard Corliss	Famous for his 'Maverick' Western series in the 1950s and 'The Rockford Files' in the '70s, and in movies like 'The Great Escape' and 'Grand Prix' in between, James Garner played amiable, independent characters for more than a half-century and never lost his comforting, enduring appeal.	312
Jeff Bridges	Whenever you're the child of a famous person, you get judged in odd ways because of that.	313
Mike Posner	I remember I wanted to be an athlete. I wanted to be in the NFL or NBA or something, and I don't think I dreamed of being a benchwarmer. I'm sure I wanted to be the best. But I didn't really ever think I was going to be a famous musician.	313
Salman Rushdie	Sometimes I think that when people become famous, there's a public perception that they are not human beings any more. They don't have feelings; they don't get hurt; you can act and say as you like about them.	314
Mike Posner	I wanted to be the most famous. And it wasn't until I hung out with Justin Bieber that the whole thing got demystified. The mystique of it was gone.	314
Chris Rock	Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?	315
Muhammad Ali	The name Muhammad is the most common name in the world. In all the countries around the world - Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon - there are more Muhammads than anything else. When I joined the Nation of Islam and became a Muslim, they gave me the most famous name because I was the champ.	316
Anthony Hopkins	I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.	316
Christian Bale	I'm English. Our dentistry is not world famous.	316
Stephen Kinzer	A few of the world's most famous non-American novelists have large followings in the United States, among them Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Guenter Grass, who were both popular even before winning the Nobel.	316
Ellen DeGeneres	When we were growing up our parents somehow made it clear that being famous was good. And I mistakenly thought that if I was famous then everyone would love me.	317
Jean-Jacques Rousseau	How many famous and high-spirited heroes have lived a day too long?	317
Daniel Radcliffe	It's interesting because people assume that because I'm famous I know all famous people.	317
Dylan Moran	I'm just a guy who happens to work in public from time to time. I've built a reputation as an established comic, not as a celebrity - a celebrity is someone who is famous but doesn't do anything.	317
Shawn Amos	While not a musician, my father was a music agent for years before becoming pop culture icon Famous Amos.	317
Andy Warhol	My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.	318
Evel Knievel	You can be famous for a lot of things. You can be a Nobel-prize winner. You can be the fattest guy in the world.	318
Barbra Streisand	Why am I so famous? What am I doing right? What are the others doing wrong?	319
Chris Rock	Sometimes people offer you plays, they offer you parts, but they only offer it because I'm famous.	319
Francesca Annis	I never pursued being 'famous.'	319
George Clooney	I had my Aunt Rosie, who was famous and then not, so I got a lesson in fame early on. And I understood how little it has to do with you. And also how you could use it.	319
Megan Fox	When you become a celebrity, the world owns you and your image.	319
Iyanla Vanzant	I had no preconceived idea what fame would be like, because I never thought I would be famous. I just wanted to do my work. Hell, I just wanted to pay my rent on time.	320
Madonna Ciccone	Being famous has changed a lot, because now there's so many outlets, between magazines, TV shows, and the Internet, for people to stalk and follow you. We created the monster.	320
Rob Lowe	I'll never forget one of those things that my father said to me. My father said: 'You know what? We have had so many amazingly positive experiences that we would have never had because you're famous. We can stand to have a couple negatives ones, too.'	320
Robbie Williams	On an emotional level, success in America would be terrible for me; it would be insane. I really, seriously, never want to be famous here.	320
Shawn Amos	Of course, screwed up families are not the exclusive province of the famous. Still, most families get to screw up in private.	320
Jesse Eisenberg	I meet people who are in movies, and the stuff that they write is terrible, but nobody tells them that because they're famous. So I worry that my stuff might be like that, too.	320
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu	It's famous that comedians have a very dark personal state of mind. I think, in my case, it's the same. The only way to get deep is to have a balance, or a counterbalance.	321
Kevin Spacey	My mother always, always, always thought that I was going to be famous. Thought that I was going to win Oscars. In fact, I believe I accepted the Oscar as a ketchup bottle many a time in front of my mother in the kitchen. 'I'd like to thank the Academy,' I said with a ketchup bottle.	321
Ansel Elgort	You can't be a good actor if you get too affected by fame. Because then you're not real, and you're not really wanting more. You look at a lot of actors who, before they were famous, did a lot of amazing work, and once they got too big, it just got off.	322
Danica McKellar	Look at Jessica Simpson. She's famous for being dumb. I guess it started with Marylyn Monroe, and she actually wasn't that dumb, but that's how she was perceived - and that's what got popular.	322
Kate Winslet	I never had a desire to be famous... I was fat. I didn't know any fat famous actresses... You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else. And I still sort of have that.	323
Tom Brokaw	I've interviewed presidents and royalty, rock stars and movie stars, famous generals and captains of industry; I've had front row seats at Super Bowls, World Series, and Olympic Games; my books have been on best-seller lists, and my marriage is a long-running success.	323
Bono	Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.	324
Jill Scott	When I first became famous, I didn't know if I could go where I wanted to because I didn't know how people were going to act. Some folks would scream and holler, and I didn't know what to do with that.	324
Rufus Wainwright	I bemoan the fact that all my famous friends have places in St. Bart's and I have to go to Montauk.	324
Gigi Hadid	It sounds really cheesy, but I've just really been so focused on making sure that I am nice to everyone that I work with and making the effort to get to know the people on set, whether it's the catering crew or the famous photographer.	325
J. K. Rowling	I imagined being a famous writer would be like being like Jane Austen.	326
Chuck Palahniuk	Jack Palance was my distant uncle - that's the family gossip. Growing up, my family knew everything about his face getting burned and scarred in the military and how that mutilation led him to become such a famous 'heavy' in films. I prayed for good scars of my own. Not just acne scars.	326
Ellen DeGeneres	I wanted to have money; I wanted to be special; I wanted people to like me; I wanted to be famous.	401
Michael Douglas	I have some idea of the pressure of finding your own identity with a famous father.	401
Pierce Brosnan	I know what it's like to be famous. It's good money and it's great fun. A real kick in the pants. People wave at you and smile at you. You get great tables in restaurants. They send you gifts - beautiful clothes and cars.	401
John le Carre	I don't know the literary world; I was scared of being confronted with famous names, not knowing what they had written. It was occupied territory I was entering.	401
Maisie Williams	No one teaches you how to be a famous person; no one teaches you how to be a role model. It's something you have to do on your own.	401
Stephen Hawking	Sometimes I wonder if I'm as famous for my wheelchair and disabilities as I am for my discoveries.	402
Lady Gaga	I don't like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I'm from New York. I will kill to get what I need.	402
Nadia Comaneci	When I look back, I am happy that my mum took me to the gymnastics club. I didn't join gymnastics to become a famous athlete or celebrity; it just happened - I did more than I expected, of course.	402
Albert Camus	To be famous, in fact, one has only to kill one's landlady.	406
Jennifer Aniston	I've never sat there and plotted out how I was going to become successful or famous.	406
Ruth Rendell	You don't knock television, even if you don't always like what they make of your work. It makes all the difference between being an also-ran writer and very famous.	406
Kristen Stewart	I would have been very happy just working from job to job, paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.	407
Britney Spears	I'm actually a very private person. Sometimes I'm in denial that I'm really famous.	408
Jenny Lewis	I think Chris Martin is younger than I am, but when I met him, I felt like I was talking to my father. It's so strange, that feeling when someone is that famous - you assume that they are either older or better.	408
Alanis Morissette	Only traumatised people want to be famous.	409
Douglas Coupland	Forget about being world famous, it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.	409
Alanis Morissette	Part of being famous is offering up this blank screen upon which people can project everything, and it's a sacred act, putting yourself out there, in a way that lots of celebrities aren't steeled for; they're not prepared for the degree to which people define them.	410
Denis Leary	Temptation's something you have to deal with even if you're not famous. It's harder when you're famous because it's a lot more in your face, and that makes it a little more difficult to walk away from sometimes.	410
Robin Wright	Famous is celebrityism, and I don't want that... I know that I'm not that. Everybody knows who you are. I can't imagine living that life, but I don't think I consider myself famous.	411
Meghan Daum	Air travelers, of course, are famous for their hubris. They carry on too many bags and use the restroom when the seat-belt sign is on.	413
Seamus Heaney	What I've said before, only half in joke, is that everybody in Ireland is famous. Or, maybe better, say everybody is familiar.	414
Zac Brown	To be a Southern Ground artist, you have to be a lifer. It's not about winning a karaoke contest or a television show to become famous. It's about really paying your dues. It's people I'm fans of and want to help in the business.	414
Chelsea Handler	I wanted to be famous. It's embarrassing to admit, but I came out to L.A. thinking it would happen in no time. I thought, 'Once they see me, they'll be so glad I came.' I always had a ridiculous amount of self-confidence about what was going to happen to me.	414
Daniel Radcliffe	There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person's lifestyle that really isn't suited to me.	416
Katie Taylor	Don't call me famous, but it's hard to be out with my friends now.	416
Megan Fox	I want people to know me through the movies I do. I want to be judged on that. If you start becoming famous for your personal life, that's when your career goes away.	416
Meghan Daum	The search for happiness has long been a dominant feature of American life. It's a byproduct of prosperity, not to mention the most famous line in the Declaration of Independence.	416
Jesse Eisenberg	The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.	416
Judy Blume	I can't relate to people who treat me as a 'famous person.' I only like to hang around with people who treat me as a regular person because that's what I am. All people are really just regular.	416
Tom Stoppard	I once did a radio program with a famous materialist, that is to say a scientist who believed that absolutely everything was physical and that all emotions were reductive to little electrical impulses in your neurons. And I found that I didn't believe that. But what the emotions really are, I don't have an alternative theory.	417
Lee Daniels	People enjoy making fun of people who are famous; they love putting people down.	417
Siri Hustvedt	Henry Miller is a famous writer whose work has fallen out of fashion, but I strongly recommend that readers who don't know his work pick up a book and experience this writer's zealous, crazy, inventive, funny, sexy, often delirious prose.	418
Gordon Brown	Turing was a quite brilliant mathematician, most famous for his work on breaking the German Enigma codes. It is no exaggeration to say that, without his outstanding contribution, the history of the Second World War could have been very different.	420
Mads Mikkelsen	The day before I was famous in Denmark, nobody looked my way. The day after, everybody wanted to talk to me.	420
Sharon Stone	I've been famous for a long, long time. So I don't think of it - I think of it very differently. It's the normal temperature of my room.	420
Sam Altman	There's this famous observation that I totally believe: Great startup ideas are the ones that lie in the intersection of the Venn diagram of 'is a good idea' and 'looks like a bad idea.' So you want most people to think it's a bad idea and thus not compete with you until you get giant. But for it to secretly be good.	420
Emma Watson	I went from being totally unknown and never acting professionally to being in a major movie and being very famous. It all happened so quickly, I didn't have any time to work things out. It's been pretty scary at times.	424
Ron White	Vegas is famous for a lot of things, and bad marriages are one of them. Margo and I are proof that you can make this work. It just takes a little effort.	425
Kate Winslet	I was suddenly really famous, and I didn't know how to cope. I didn't know myself well enough as a person, number one, and as an actor, number two. I wanted to escape.	426
Megan Fox	People just assume that if you're famous, you're in Hollywood.	426
Lord Byron	Fame is the thirst of youth.	502
Maisie Williams	You hear horror stories about scary mothers who just want their kids to be famous. I could be waitressing in a restaurant, and my mum would be happy as long as I was happy.	502
Penn Jillette	Whereas you have someone like Houdini, who works really, really hard to get really, really famous, and then has actual intellectual ideas that he puts into the culture that stay there.	505
Michael Keaton	It's great to make your own choices, but there's a price to pay. I could've made more money or been more famous. I could be the current groovy guy.	505
Ang Lee	You can get rich or famous by doing the same thing.	506
Neil deGrasse Tyson	The caricature of science is that we hold tight to the theories we have, and shun challenges to them. That's just not true. In fact, we hold our highest rewards for those scientists who can prove others wrong. And by the way, they are famous in their own lifetimes. We don't wait until they're dead.	507
Blake Lively	Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.	507
Johnny Depp	I don't think it's anything you ever get used to... for many years, I could never sort of put my name in the same sort of category as the word 'famous' or anything like that. And I just found it very uncomfortable... if you get used to it, then something must be wrong.	513
Ron White	If you become famous and don't have a live show to back it up, they're not going to pay you any money.	514
Zooey Deschanel	If people just want to be famous, that's just not enough to get you up at 4 in the morning to go to work. You have to love what you're doing.	514
Voltaire	What a heavy burden is a name that has become too famous.	515
George Clooney	If you're famous, I don't - for the life of me - I don't understand why any famous person would ever be on Twitter.	518
Lord Byron	A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.	519
John Malkovich	I admire sensible, kind people. They're not often famous.	520
Ron White	I begged the universe to make me a famous comedian, and it did. So I tend not to ask for any more.	522
George Clooney	I do know something about the news world. I was sitting on the floors of newsrooms since I was seven years old, and I've been around them my whole life. I understand that someone looks at a story with famous people in it, and you want to put it out.	525
Ron White	I don't like to do material people have heard. Now, they like to hear material that they know, because that's the stuff that made me famous, and, unfortunately, I don't do a ton of it.	525
Terry Pratchett	That's the most terrible thing about being an author - standing there at your mother's funeral, but you don't switch the author off. So your own innermost thoughts are grist for the mill. Who was it said - one of the famous lady novelists - 'unhappy is the family that contains an author'?	526
Martin Freeman	Whenever someone says to my mum: 'How's your son doing?' she says: 'Which one?' If you're a parent, you're not going to go: 'Oh I'll concentrate on the famous one.'	526
George Clooney	I think anyone who is famous is a moron if they're on Twitter. It's just stupid.	605
Marilyn Monroe	Fame is like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have it at every meal.	606
Kate Winslet	Before 'Titanic,' yes, I had done some things and, yes, I had been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had never been sort of world-famous. And I suppose, yes, I am really famous now. But I feel embarrassed to say that because it's just a bit daft for me.	608
Marianne Williamson	I never thought being famous would be wonderful, but my limited exposure to celebrity has shown me the dark side big-time.	608
Taylor Swift	I've always strived to be successful, not famous.	609
Peter Jackson	'Heavenly Creatures' was really the idea of Fran Walsh. It was a very famous New Zealand murder case, but not one that people knew much about.	609
Gore Vidal	I was the most famous kid in the United States. That was 1936.	612
Ambrose Bierce	Famous, adj.: Conspicuously miserable.	614
Robert Gottlieb	Despite the rigid classicism of the famous Paris Opera school and company, the French have done more than their share to unmoor la Danse from its traditions and standards.	615
Tyra Banks	A while ago I said that, 'You know, I like a guy - he doesn't have to be all rich and famous - he can be normal.' And I remember I was walking in the mall, and this guy was like, 'Tyra, I'm normal. I live with my mama. I ain't got a car and I ain't got a job! I'm real normal.' And I'm like, 'That's not normal - that's a loser!'	616
Ian Mckellen	I'd never read 'Lord of the Rings' until I was asked to play Gandalf, so I didn't really know it was a frightfully famous book.	620
Marilyn Monroe	I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated.	621
Orlando Bloom	You can't date if you're famous. That's how it seems to me.	621
Alanis Morissette	I thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.	624
Joseph B. Wirthlin	I have had the opportunity to become acquainted with many wonderful people from many walks of life. I have known rich and poor, famous and modest, wise and otherwise.	707
Robert Kiyosaki	Warren Buffett is famous for talking about the 'intrinsic value' of stocks. But while many people parrot this phrase, few know what it really means.	802
Yoko Ono	Many incredible artists die before they were famous.	804
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe	Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it; and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.	809
Dolly Parton	Of course, 'I Will Always Love You' is the biggest song so far in my career. I'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.	810
Yotam Ottolenghi	Apart from its famous healing properties, manuka has a strong, woody flavour.	814
P. J. O'Rourke	A very quiet and tasteful way to be famous is to have a famous relative. Then you can not only be nothing, you can do nothing too.	821
Neil deGrasse Tyson	I'm not as famous as Stephen Hawking, but certainly in the U.S., I have a very high profile for a scientist. It is an awesome responsibility, one that I don't shoulder lightly.	907
George Bernard Shaw	Martyrdom: The only way a man can become famous without ability.	912
