One of the hardest things for me now that I'm famous is finding people who can read my stuff and give me an honest critique.

I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.

I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts people who want to be famous for no reason.

When I started on MySpace people wanted to support me but once I rose to fame with the MTV show they felt like I had abandoned them for some reason that I was too famous to talk to them anymore.

To put it simply - you know a lot of people believe that the benefit of this job is fame and fortune. I believe that you pay for the fortune through the fame. I don't buy into the notion that being famous is somehow a good thing or an exciting thing or a wonderful thing.

Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you're the pedestal they built for you.

There are a lot of famous comedians from Liverpool then obviously the Beatles and the football club. That's what people in Liverpool are passionate about.

On the other hand when I give it closer thought I realize I'm not enough of a dictator to conduct an orchestra because it requires a pretty awful person. When you read these biographies of famous conductors they are all awful people who fail in their private relationships.

George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known but in spite of that fame he was such a nice and friendly guy.

I've been around some very famous people but no one has the effect Maradona has people tremble in his presence.

You don't have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. I'd like more people to know that it's there. Women's achievements still aren't recognised enough in many areas.

In a lot of aspects it's cooler that we don't have a lot of really overly famous people in the band.

When I first became famous I didn't know if I could go where I wanted to because I didn't know how people were going to act. Some folks would scream and holler and I didn't know what to do with that.

Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater not a real person.

You know I think Jesus was famous and also in a lot of trouble because he always chose people over sort of established procedures.

I was in a karaoke video in 1991 for a song called 'Sukiyaki ' which is a very famous Japanese song and I've actually heard from people that they've been in bars in Asia where they've seen me come up in the 'Sukiyaki' video that they play behind you. I'm in that. I'm in a karaoke video.

I get to meet fantastic people and I get to go through so many emotions. For me I have a craving for that. When I'm acting I feel great. It's not to be famous.

We had such a wonderful set of circumstances in Wilmington. Yes the four of us became famous literally overnight but we were in a small town and we always knew when people were coming down. We always knew when to behave.

I don't like the idea of famous people.

I guess the nicest thing about being I won't say famous but being popular is a more proper word for me to use would be that if you've got a recognizable name a lot of times you can get people to do things for you ordinarily that you wouldn't get done.

And I don't want to live anywhere where I am famous. It makes me very very uncomfortable because it conveys an advantage over people and I don't like that.

I am the most well-adjusted human being I know. I started out this investigation as a very happy man with a great career. I've got the life people dream about: I am rich I am famous I've got a fabulous marriage to an absolutely spell-bindingly brilliant woman.

I don't come from a famous family and don't have this detachment from everyday people and everyday life. I'm just doing my job and the attention that comes with it is part of the territory.

It's sour grapes I admit I want to be more famous so people are examining my work couplet by couplet you know what I mean? That's the level where I want to go.
