Being famous is having the power to really implement positive change in the world and it gives you the power to do what you want. I'm really grateful for it because I can play music and people will listen.

It's too late for me to get married before I'm famous. You never know people's intentions.

I don't put weight on fame and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.

These days with 'American Idol' and all the other reality shows young people become famous overnight and that can be very difficult to handle the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.

I don't really know a lot of famous people. I've met a lot of famous people. If I ran into Tom Hanks today I would have to remind him who I was and he would then remember me. But he wouldn't come up to me and say 'Hi Dave!'

The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.

I keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country because people do not think I have done anything for India.

I think that people who are famous tend to be underdeveloped in their humanity skills.

I know there are people if I go into a market or a city for the first time there are people that are there that just want to see the famous person or the guy from 'Dumb and Dumber' or whatever movie they liked. And that's fine it gets them in the door but then it's my job to give them something different.

A lot of people are like 'So you want to be famous.' And I'm like 'No I want to be good at my craft. I don't care about fame I don't care if I even ever make it. As long as people know what I am as an actress in this business I'm set for my career right now.'

I follow the most random people on Twitter. I follow famous people like Khloe Kardashian who surprisingly makes really funny tweets all the time.

Yeah people following me down the street and at the airport and all that. I can't imagine what it must be like for people who are you know actually famous.

You do now have one in three people as shown by the famous Carlton Monarchy debate poll saying they want to get rid of the Monarchy. That was unthinkable even three four years ago.

I'm world famous everywhere I go there are people who love me because of I've been able to bring them some joy from the movies I've made.

That the work involved the willingness to take chances the commitment the opportunity to get on stage and make people happy was more important than becoming famous or even what I was dancing.

It's funny - nowadays people that are famous get chased by paparazzi. They have this fame but they don't have the money to hide from it.

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.

Famous people feel that they must perpetually be on the crest of the wave not realising that it is against all the rules of life. You can't be on top all the time it isn't natural.

I get very nervous around famous people and I get nervous around beautiful women.

I don't think I'll ever feel as famous or as popular as I felt when I was a 17-year-old soccer player in Modle. Only about 20 000 people live there and 12 000 of them come to every game. Running onto the pitch each week was just the most fantastic feeling. Nothing can beat that.

The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you.

I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.

People are much more inclined to believe and say bad things about you if you're famous.

My wife Elizabeth and I started The Really Terrible Orchestra for people like us who are pretty hopeless musicians who would like to play in an orchestra. It has been a great success. We give performances we've become the most famous bad orchestra in the world.
