You can’t reverse fame. You can lose all the money, but you’ll never lose people knowing you.

Fame is the echo of actions, resounding them to the world, save that the echo repeats only the last art, but fame relates all, and often more than all

It’s such a great honor to be mentioned along The Beatles.

The desire of posthumous fame and the dread of posthumous reproach and execration are feelings from the influence of which scarcely any man is perfectly free, and which in many men are powerful and constant motives of action

I’m not a big fan of fame; I’m a big fan of success.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame traditionally has had a management style that is very supportive of American talent, first and foremost, over everything else. And I think that’s right and proper.

If cash comes with fame, come fame; if cash comes without fame, come cash.

Tut, tut – fame clearly isn’t everything.

Fame freaks me out. Do you just wake up different? I don’t know how to scale it back if it gets too crazy.

Vamps no longer exist. Stars have taken their roles.

In my brain all I think about is fame.

I try to stay grounded and not get carried away by the attention and fame.

I often say fame is kind of like a drug or like sugar: when it’s controlling you it doesn’t feel good at all.

The power of storytelling lies in its ability to make the familiar strange and the strange familiar

America’s genius has always been to take something old, familiar and wrinkled and repackage it as new, exciting and smooth

Ah woe is me, through all my daysWisdom and wealth I both have got,And fame and name and great men’s praise;But Love, ah! Love I have it not.

Regarding the Hall of Fame, when they decided I was going to be one of the possible candidates, when I heard that, I was so thrilled. You’re always hoping for something like that.

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.

Fame is very agreeable, but the bad thing is that it goes on 24 hours a day

Unfortunately many young writers are more concerned with fame than with their own work… It’s much more important to write than to be written about.

A famous writer who wants to continue writing has to be constantly defending himself against fame.

I’ve taken my bows

And my curtain calls

You brought me fame and fortune

And everything that goes with it

I thank you all.

I’m a Freddie Mercury fan

I’m vile and perverted. I’m obsessed and deranged. I’ve existed for years but very little has changed. I’m the tool of the government and industry too. For I’m destined to rule and regulate you. You may think I’m pernicious, but you can’t look away. I’ll make you think I’m delicious with the stuff that I say. I’m the best you can get… Have you guessed me yet? I’m the slime oozing out of your TV set.

I never wanted fame, I just wanted to be heard.

I didn’t want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.

But fame isn’t what gets me out of bed in the morning. It’s purpose.

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame was a great idea when it started, but I think they ought to close it, I think it’s full.

Fame is a bee. It has a song– It has a sting– Ah, too, it has a wing.

It was the beginning of the war. I was twelve years old, my parents were alive, and God still dwelt in our town.

We are all brothers and we are all suffering the same fate. The same smoke floats over all our heads. Help one another. It is the only way to survive.

Bite your lips, little brother…Don’t cry. Keep your anger, your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not now…Wait. Clench your teeth and wait…

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.

I don’t travel with them, but they can’t be missing in my home. There have to always be dominoes. I used to play with my family—dad, my grandpa, my uncles

The fame isn’t important to me. It’s a blessing to have. Having so many people that support me, that love me and listen to my music, is beautiful.

I don’t consider myself as the best player in the world. I’m not obsessed with individual titles. I’m much more interested in being part of a team which wins trophies.

Tuesday will be a tough night for me. It’s like to return to the family who have not seen you for a long time. I spent a wonderful time there.

Mathematical fame, if you have the cash to pay for it, is one of the soundest and steadiest of investments.

Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.

Come on, shake off the covers of this sloth, for sitting softly cushioned, or tucked in bed, is no way to win fame.

Son, when the Marine Corps wants you to have a wife, you will be issued one.

Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn’t make you want to jump into that business.

Lying in a featherbed will bring you no fame, nor staying beneath the quilt, and he who uses up his life without achieving fame leaves no more vestige of himself on Earth than smoke in the air or foam upon the water.

The man who lies asleep will never waken fame.

I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you’re a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don’t see so much of that anymore.

Fame, what you like is in the Limo. Fame, what you get is no tomorrow.

I think fame itself is not a rewarding thing. The most you can say is that it gets you a seat in restaurants.

Fame puts you there where things are hollow.

A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.

Appreciate the members of your family for who they are, even though their outlook or style may be miles different from yours. Rabbits don’t fly. Eagles don’t swim. Ducks look funny trying to climb. Squirrels don’t have feathers. Stop comparing. There’s plenty of room in the forest.

I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position.

Family not only need to consist of merely those whom we share blood, but also for those whom we’d give blood.

Those who escape hell however never talk about it and nothing much bothers them after that.

Every mother contains her daughter in herself, and every daughter, her mother; and every mother extends backwards into her mother, and forwards into her daughter.

It seems impossible that any man could adequately describe his mother. I cannot describe mine

To support mother and father, to cherish wife and child and to have a simple livelihood; this is the good luck.

I was very famous, and I think I didn’t handle the fame very well.

Even at the height of my fame, fifty per cent of the people who saw me wanted a fight; it’s the downside of being a star player.

The longer a man’s fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.

Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame

Nobody actually played tennis in my family.

My priority, the most important thing in my life is my family, my wife and my son.

So, my happiness doesn’t come from money or fame. My happiness comes from seeing life without struggle.

Fame is the worst pain known to man. It’s stronger than heroin.

I’m not in it for fame. I’ve been famous in the streets already

Men search all their lives for power and fame without attaining either, because they do not recognize that the real source of both is within their own minds.

I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That’s a good start… for feeling good.

In the future, everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes

I’ve got nothing much to live for ever since I found my fame.

What’s fame? a fancied life in other’s breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death

Fame, wealth, and honors! What are you to love?

Fame is not the worst thing. I went to dinner the other night, and the girls in the restaurant ignored me. It was so annoying.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.

Amidst all of these flashing lights I pray the fame won’t take my life.

In the book of Gaga, fame is in your heart, fame is there to comfort you, to bring you self-confidence and worth whenever you need it.

That is what fame is, isn’t it? To get the world to fall in love with you.

The only big things I’ve purchased are my dad’s heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary. And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga license plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car.

I am focused on the work. I am constantly creating. I am a busy girl. I live and breathe my work. I love what I do. I believe in the message. There’s no stopping. I didn’t create the fame, the fame created me.

Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.

I’m already crazy. I’m a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don’t think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that’s my destiny. But my passion still means more than anything.

Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show

I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me

I’m just trying to create something timeless.

Maintaining loyalty is harder than gaining it.

I’m not a goat, but I fit the description I like to pour, so I get the prescription.

I just want the money, f*ck the fame cuz. Came to switch the game up.
