I handle fame by not being famous. . . I'm not famous to me.
The image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.
I think for much of the middle classes, nothing could be more fantastic than to have a contact with fame. But once you have that contact with fame and find out how vacuous it is, that it doesn't answer anything or supply any ultimate revelation to cosmic dilemmas and you're still left with yourself, then it's back to the drawing room with fading light and one light bulb out in the very expensive chandelier that no one has bothered to replace.
Do you remember when Marilyn Monroe died? Everybody stopped work, and you could see all that day the same expressions on their faces, the same thought: ‘How can a girl with success, fame, youth, money, beauty. . . how could she kill herself?’ Nobody could understand it because those are the things that everybody wants, and they can’t believe that life wasn’t important to Marilyn Monroe, or that her life was elsewhere
I feel like fame is wasted on me.
Extraordinary beauty can be a curse to the one who possesses it. one pays a dear price for fame and fortune
In my brain all I think about is fame.
That should be the measure of success for everyone. It's not money, it's not fame, it's not celebrity; my index of success is happiness.
I can't see any advantage to fame. I'm happy with the life I have now. I've got the same two friends I've had since I was 12, and I can't see that changing.
Fame is useful in certain ways, because it helps you get more roles.
Fame you'll be famous, as famous as can be, with everyone watching you win on TV, Except when they don't because sometimes they won't.
There are a lot of good things about being famous but there are a few not so good things too
Fame is fickle. If the media turn against me, I will just have more time in the library. Not bad as a fate.
My success is not about the wealth and fame. I am most concerned with my relationship to God, which is the most important.
Fame has become this obsession for people, which kind of creeps me out.
At a certain point, if you work really hard and you get good and people like your work, you do deserve the fame - but you shouldn't take it for granted.
You don't get to choose what you get famous for and you don't get to control which of your life's many struggles gets to stand for you.
With fame there is a crosswire between intensity and intimacy. You have decoy intimacy, but you are also very much alone.
I'm still very careless about my public persona. Not careless so to speak but I'm not one for fame. I think fame is the worst part about it.
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
