I wanted to. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them.
I want a sandwich named after me.
The highest form of vanity is love of fame.
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.
Fame has always been a downside to acting for me. It gives me the creeps.
Fame invades your private life. It takes away from the time that you spend with friends, and the time that you can work. It tends to isolate you from the real world.
Boxing brought me money and fame, but it never brought me no happiness.
Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.
Why would anyone want to be President today? The answer is not one of glory, or fame; today the burdens of the office outweigh its privileges. Its not because the Presidency offers a chance to be somebody, but because it offers a chance to do something.
I want to be famous everywhere.
I just like people. I'll hold a conversation at a gas station. It's not about the fame and the fortune, I just like people.
There's probably no experience more alienating than fame, other than a terminal illness, where you actually find yourself in a situation that nobody around you can relate to.
Blessed is he whose fame does not outshine his truth.
I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!
The future will erase everything--there's no level of fame or genius that allows you to transcend oblivion. The infinite future makes that kind of mattering impossible.
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.
2007 began on a high for me because I had the honour of having my name added the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame.
Fame: an embalmer trembling with stage fright.
In my life I have found two things of priceless worth - learning and loving. Nothing else - not fame, not power, not achievement for its own sake - can possible have the same lasting value. For when your life is over, if you can say 'I have learned' and 'I have loved,' you will also be able to say 'I have been happy.
I didn't get into making music for the fame aspect. There are people who do desire that.
