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. ~ Winona Ryder
Being Famous quotes by Winona Ryder
There's definitely a lot of trash that comes with the prize of being famous. It's a nice gift, but there's a lot of wrapping and paper and junk to cut through. Back then, when a movie came out and people saw you on the street, their reaction was so supercharged that it was scary. It would frighten other people. It used to really rattle me. I mean, everybody would love to have their clothes torn off by a mob of girls, but being screamed at is different. ~ Bill Murray
Being Famous quotes by Bill Murray
New York is a city short on patience, cleanliness, clement weather, and citizens who hold faint opinions. It is not a city short of people trying to make a career of being famous, no matter what the opportunity. ~ Libba Bray
Being Famous quotes by Libba Bray
When I was going through my transition of being famous, I tried to ask God, why was I here? What was my purpose? Surely, it wasn't just to win three gold medals. There has to be more to this life than that. ~ Wilma Rudolph
Being Famous quotes by Wilma Rudolph
To be an artist is not about fame; it's about art, which is this intangible thing that has got to have lots of integrity, whereas being famous doesn't really take any integrity. But I think you have to admit that you want to be famous, otherwise you can't be an artist. Art and fame together are like a desire to live forever. ~ Damien Hirst
Being Famous quotes by Damien Hirst
I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous. ~ Logan Lerman
Being Famous quotes by Logan Lerman
I've learned it's not about being famous and big money. L.A. can be a fun place, but when it comes down to it - and this might sound hokey - there's no place like home. ~ Amy Locane
Being Famous quotes by Amy Locane
I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success, talent. ~ Kat Dennings
Being Famous quotes by Kat Dennings
To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose. ~ Diablo Cody
Being Famous quotes by Diablo Cody
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. ~ Matt Damon
Being Famous quotes by Matt Damon
The reason I keep acting is that it fuels some kind of passion in me, but the day that those butterflies stop, is the day that I'm gonna quit because I could care less about the magazines or being famous or the money or the awards. ~ Shailene Woodley
Being Famous quotes by Shailene Woodley
I'd prefer to go under the radar and just do the acting without being famous for it. ~ Kelly Reilly
Being Famous quotes by Kelly Reilly
I absolutely loved being famous. It was all great, up until the point when it wasn't. ~ Noel Gallagher
Being Famous quotes by Noel Gallagher
If there's anything more mortifying than being famous at 14, it's being washed up right after. ~ Moon Unit Zappa
Being Famous quotes by Moon Unit Zappa
I can't see any value in being a celebrity, famous for being famous. ~ Noomi Rapace
Being Famous quotes by Noomi Rapace
Being famous is wicked. But it's better to be normal. ~ Rupert Grint
Being Famous quotes by Rupert Grint
Being famous very often means sacrificing your privacy and that of others. You have to impose on those close to you a pace and lifestyle that might be a bigger sacrifice for others than it is for you. ~ Giorgio Armani
Being Famous quotes by Giorgio Armani
In the beginning, I loved being famous, but now I am tired of it and I would like to go back to my freedom. ~ Roberto Cavalli
Being Famous quotes by Roberto Cavalli
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. ~ Gabourey Sidibe
Being Famous quotes by Gabourey Sidibe
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. ~ Chris Rock
Being Famous quotes by Chris Rock
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. ~ John Cusack
Being Famous quotes by John Cusack
The thing about being famous is, it's weird. The only people who get how weird it is are other famous people. ~ Margot Kidder
Being Famous quotes by Margot Kidder
The thing I like least about being famous is being overly scrutinized for everything I say and do. ~ Madonna Ciccone
Being Famous quotes by Madonna Ciccone
As for fame, fame felt like nothing. Fame was not a sensation like love or hunger or loneliness, welling from within and invisible to the outside eye. It was rather entirely external, coming from the minds of others. It existed in the way people looked at him or behaved towards him. In that, being famous was no different from being gay, or Jewish, or from a visible minority: you are who you are, and then people project onto you some notion they have. ~ Yann Martel
Being Famous quotes by Yann Martel
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. ~ Terry Wogan
Being Famous quotes by Terry Wogan
on the continent


I'm soft. I
dream too.
I let myself dream. I dream of
being famous. I dream of
walking the streets of London and
Paris. I dream of
sitting in cafes
drinking fine wines and
taking a taxi back to a good
hotel.
I dream of
meeting beautiful ladies in the hall
and
turning them away because
I have a sonnet in mind
that I want to write
before sunrise. at sunrise
I will be asleep and there will be a
strange cat curled up on the
windowsill.

I think we all feel like this
now and then.
I'd even like to visit
Andernach, Germany, the place where
I began, then I'd like to
fly on to Moscow to check out
their mass transit system so
I'd have something faintly lewd to
whisper into the ear of the mayor of
Los Angeles upon to my return to this
fucking place.

it could happen.
I'm ready.
I've watched snails crawl over
ten foot walls
and vanish.

you mustn't confuse this with
ambition.
I would be able to laugh at my
good turn of the cards -

and I won't forget you.
I'll send postcards and
snapshots, and the
finished sonnet. ~ Charles Bukowski
Being Famous quotes by Charles Bukowski
Being famous is such a gift for me because small things make people's lives brighter. You just shake somebody's hand. You just smile and write your name and people will talk about it for the rest of their lives. ~ Will Smith
Being Famous quotes by Will Smith
If I have a girlfriend, I don't bring her to flaunt her. She doesn't get to reap the benefits of me being famous. ~ Nick Diaz
Being Famous quotes by Nick Diaz
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. ~ Simon Cowell
Being Famous quotes by Simon Cowell
I never thought about being famous. ~ Damon Wayans
Being Famous quotes by Damon Wayans
I don't look at myself as being famous. I look at myself as an athlete. If the money is there, I'd be happy, but I have to be happy within myself first. ~ Florence Griffith Joyner
Being Famous quotes by Florence Griffith Joyner
I have no sense of being famous - you're just working. And then you'll have a random day in London when you'll do some press and it creeps into your awareness that this goes out - that what you do every day goes out to televisions right across the country. ~ Karen Gillan
Being Famous quotes by Karen Gillan
I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not. ~ Catherine Deneuve
Being Famous quotes by Catherine Deneuve
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. ~ Lecy Goranson
Being Famous quotes by Lecy Goranson
Being famous is wicked but its cool to be normal as well. ~ Rupert Grint
Being Famous quotes by Rupert Grint
I used to be like everyone else and think the Kardashians are just famous for being famous. But I've been really impressed with how supportive Kim Kardashian has been of Caitlyn Jenner. ~ Anne Hathaway
Being Famous quotes by Anne Hathaway
The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. ~ Tom Felton
Being Famous quotes by Tom Felton
It was never about winning medals or being famous. ~ Nancy Kerrigan
Being Famous quotes by Nancy Kerrigan
I never pursued being 'famous.' ~ Francesca Annis
Being Famous quotes by Francesca Annis
Mum loves me being famous! She is so excited and proud, as she had me so young and couldn't support me, so I am living her dream, it's sweeter for both of us. It's her 40th birthday soon and I'm going to buy her 40 presents. ~ Adele
Being Famous quotes by Adele
John is almost famous for not being famous," Williams compadre Dan Wakefield complained in 1986. "This is Hemingway without bluster, Fitzgerald without fashion, Faulkner stripped of pomp. ~ DanWakefield
Being Famous quotes by DanWakefield
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. ~ Debra Winger
Being Famous quotes by Debra Winger
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. ~ Wynonna Judd
Being Famous quotes by Wynonna Judd
I was always obsessed with being famous. I had Marilyn Monroe paper dolls as a child, and I was always obsessed with her. I've just been really driven in that direction, and none of my friends were. So, I don't know what put that bug in me at a young age. ~ Holly Madison
Being Famous quotes by Holly Madison
You go to school, you get a master's degree, you study Shakespeare and you wind up being famous for plastic glasses. ~ Sally Jessy Raphael
Being Famous quotes by Sally Jessy Raphael
I never enjoyed being famous. ~ Elaine Paige
Being Famous quotes by Elaine Paige
The best thing about being famous is that it makes it easier to get laid. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Being Famous quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say. ~ Richard Lewis
Being Famous quotes by Richard Lewis
Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag. ~ Van Morrison
Being Famous quotes by Van Morrison
It's great - that's the best part about being famous is that people want to get to know me. People come up to me and introduce themselves, and I make friends, and then I meet their friends. It seems like I have a very happy and comfortable social life, which is something I never had when I was younger. ~ Rivers Cuomo
Being Famous quotes by Rivers Cuomo
I love being famous - it's phenomenal. ~ Dave Chappelle
Being Famous quotes by Dave Chappelle
I've never been interested in being famous. I enjoy acting. That's what's important to me. ~ Dominic Sherwood
Being Famous quotes by Dominic Sherwood
Religion is, in reality, living. Our religion is not what we profess, or what we say, or what we proclaim; our religion is what we do, what we desire, what we seek, what we dream about, what we fantasize, what we think - all these things - twenty-four hours a day. One's religion, then, is ones life, not merely the ideal life but the life as it is actually lived.
Religion is not prayer, it is not a church, it is not theistic, it is not atheistic, it has little to do with what white people call "religion." It is our every act. If we tromp on a bug, that is our religion; if we experiment on living animals, that is our religion; if we cheat at cards, that is our religion; if we dream of being famous, that is our religion; if we gossip maliciously, that is our religion; if we are rude and aggressive, that is our religion. All that we do, and are, is our religion. ~ Jack D. Forbes
Being Famous quotes by Jack D. Forbes
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'? ~ Wale
Being Famous quotes by Wale
I only want to play basketball, and play it well and be happy about it. But I realize that with being famous, comes a lot of demands. ~ Yao Ming
Being Famous quotes by Yao Ming
At first, I thoroughly enjoyed being famous. ~ Phil Donahue
Being Famous quotes by Phil Donahue
I think it's much more interesting when people say, "I love being famous. I love the attention and getting laid and having people I respect admire me," than when they pretend it hasn't had an effect on them. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio
Being Famous quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
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. ~ Emma Thompson
Being Famous quotes by Emma Thompson
I never thought being famous would be wonderful, but my limited exposure to celebrity has shown me the dark side big-time. ~ Marianne Williamson
Being Famous quotes by Marianne Williamson
One of the words I railed against was "personality," as in a "TV personality." But now I wonder if it isn't the only word for that vast swarm of people who are famous for being famous - and possibly nothing else. What did the Gabor sisters actually do? ~ William Zinsser
Being Famous quotes by William Zinsser
I spent my first 50 years trying to become known as a writer and the next 30 trying to avoid being famous. I walk down the street or go to a football game and people shout, 'Hey Andy'. I hate that. ~ Andy Rooney
Being Famous quotes by Andy Rooney
It took being famous to make me cool, which, by the way, I never forgot. ~ Rob Lowe
Being Famous quotes by Rob Lowe
There is this power that comes with being famous. ~ Rod Stewart
Being Famous quotes by Rod Stewart
I can never really enjoy being famous. ~ Utada Hikaru
Being Famous quotes by Utada Hikaru

Being Famous quotes by Liz Phair
Being famous has its benefits, but fame isn't one of them. ~ Larry Wall
Being Famous quotes by Larry Wall
Happiness is being famous for your financial ability to indulge in every kind of excess. ~ Bill Watterson
Being Famous quotes by Bill Watterson
It was never about sort of being famous. I just wanted to be good at what I did. ~ Katey Sagal
Being Famous quotes by Katey Sagal
When I'm on the red carpet, I'm prepared for [the attention.] But the worst thing is on planes, when you're asleep and you're woken up by a camera flashing. That's a little bit much. But what do you do? It's a part of [being famous]. Unfortunately. ~ Beyonce Knowles
Being Famous quotes by Beyonce Knowles
Being famous before you've formed your personality, before you have that self-esteem, is dangerous. ~ Chris Evert
Being Famous quotes by Chris Evert
We are used to the idea of giving witness to one's life as an important and noble counterpoint to being unheard, especially when applied to people in certain disadvantaged, oppressed or unacceptable situations. But in a slightly more pathological way, I'm not sure that we aren't seeing the emergence of a society in which almost everyone who isn't famous considers themselves cruelly and unfairly unheard. As though being famous, and the subject of wide attention, is considered to be a fulfilled human being's natural state - and so, as a corollary, the cruelly unheard millions are perpetually primed and fired up to answer any and all questions in order to redress this awful imbalance. ~ Chris Heath
Being Famous quotes by Chris Heath
I don't know about this thing - being famous. I haven't figured it out yet. It still mystifies me. ~ Helen Slater
Being Famous quotes by Helen Slater
If you are a giant mountain, you cannot escape from being famous; all that you can do is to pray for the fog to cover you up! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Being Famous quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
There are drawbacks in being famous too, but you can live with those. They're not life-threatening. If the paparazzi are outside your restaurant or your house - and actors make such a big thing of it and scurry into cars and drape things - you think they're going to be crucified or something. It's not a big deal. You can get used to that. It's not so terrible. ~ Woody Allen
Being Famous quotes by Woody Allen
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. ~ Matthew Perry
Being Famous quotes by Matthew Perry
Being famous as a writer is like being famous in a village. It's not really any very heady fame. ~ Peter Carey
Being Famous quotes by Peter Carey
I don't want to be famous for being famous. ~ Kelli O'Hara
Being Famous quotes by Kelli O'Hara
I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs. ~ David LaChapelle
Being Famous quotes by David LaChapelle
Everyone may want to be famous, everyone doesn't want to be patient. Fewest cross the bridge, fewer fall down the ladder and few get tired climbing the stairs. It's not about being famous then, it's winning a meaningless competition ~ Bhavik Sarkhedi
Being Famous quotes by Bhavik Sarkhedi
Being famous without honor is a thing of no worth. ~ Alaric Longward
Being Famous quotes by Alaric Longward
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. ~ Al Pacino
Being Famous quotes by Al Pacino
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. ~ Nate Berkus
Being Famous quotes by Nate Berkus
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. ~ Kylie Minogue
Being Famous quotes by Kylie Minogue
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. ~ Madonna Ciccone
Being Famous quotes by Madonna Ciccone
Having bodyguards is just part of being famous, I think. ~ Dolph Lundgren
Being Famous quotes by Dolph Lundgren
I want to be famous so I can be humble about being famous. What good is my humility when I am stuck in this obscurity? ~ David Budbill
Being Famous quotes by David Budbill
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. ~ Dawn French
Being Famous quotes by Dawn French
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. ~ Rick Astley
Being Famous quotes by Rick Astley
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. ~ Courtney Love
Being Famous quotes by Courtney Love
The promise of celebrity is a transcendental human state of existence. It's not real. We do know the fact that celebrities as mortal beings exist and if you are looking for love by being famous or being around the famous - ultimately that goes away. ~ George Hickenlooper
Being Famous quotes by George Hickenlooper
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. ~ Alanis Morissette
Being Famous quotes by Alanis Morissette
Being famous gives you a lot of illusions of false self, of self-importance, a grandiosity, it becomes difficult to stay humble and real. You see so many people who don't succeed. ~ Lili Taylor
Being Famous quotes by Lili Taylor
The good part about being famous is being able to help people. The hard part is every day you have to be in a good mood, because that is what people expect. You learn to get good at it. ~ Michael Jordan
Being Famous quotes by Michael Jordan
In my 20s, I was a monk. I was obsessed with theatre, not being famous, not with television. I was 20 years on the stage before I set foot in front of a camera. ~ Saul Rubinek
Being Famous quotes by Saul Rubinek
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. ~ Emily Meade
Being Famous quotes by Emily Meade
I wish that being famous helped prevent me from being constipated. ~ Marvin Gaye
Being Famous quotes by Marvin Gaye
I handle fame by not being famous ... I'm not famous to me. ~ Bob Marley
Being Famous quotes by Bob Marley
I never wanted fame, of all things, and I'm not just being cheeky. There are benefits that come with being famous, but there's also confusion. It's important to make sure your feet stay on the ground. ~ Grace Park
Being Famous quotes by Grace Park
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. ~ Tom Felton
Being Famous quotes by Tom Felton
If you're famous, you suck, just for being famous. People in England totally get that; Americans don't. ~ Trey Parker
Being Famous quotes by Trey Parker
