In the future we'll all have 15 minutes of fame and 15 minutes of healthcare.
You write one book and you're ready for fame and fortune. I don't know that people are spending the time and attention on learning how to write-which takes years. Everybody sees the success stories.
Maintain your post: That's all the fame you need; For 'tis impossible you should proceed.
My emotions are very simple and always have been about the Hall of Fame. It's something that I had absolutely nothing to do with and had no control over, so I never thought much about it, to be frank.
I did have a bunch of goals I wanted to achieve when I was financially able to do so, but they had nothing to do with fame.
If you're not careful, you can get a grossly over-inflated opinion about your popularity.
It is dangerous to let the public behind the scenes. They are easily disillusioned and then they are angry with you, for it was the illusion they loved.
If anyone really thinks that I've ruined [sexual assault] reporting for women, I'm terribly sorry. And if anybody really thinks I'm clamouring for fame on the back of women who were assaulted, that's terrible.
All fame ever does for you is get attention for the work you really want to do.
Tut, tut — fame clearly isn't everything.
Is demum miser est, cuius nobilitas miserias nobilitat. Indeed, wretched the man whose fame makes his misfortunes famous.
The Hall of Fame has strong people.
Fame has a lot of baggage to carry around. I wouldn't want to be like Bruce Springsteen. I don't need that much money and wouldn't want to have 20 bodyguards following me.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
This is why I wanted to be different and why I wanted to have power and fame and money: because I wanted to be attractive to the opposite sex. I'd be lying to you if I didn't say that was a big part of it
A painter with prestige among painters is bound to be discovered sooner or later.
All this fame and money, which have so thrilled me when they came to others, leave me cold when they come to me. I am not an ascetic, but I don't know what to do with them, and my daily life has never been so trying, and there is no one to fill it emotionally.
My success is not about the wealth and fame. I am most concerned with my relationship to God, which is the most important.
Not to know me argues yourselves unknown.
Fortune or fame, you must pick one or the other, though neither of them are to be what they claim.
