Indeed, wretched the man whose fame makes his misfortunes famous.

For children preserve the fame of a man after his death.

I feel like fame is wasted on me.

It's not the money. It's not the fame. It's the influence.

Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.

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

I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!

Fame is addictive. Money is addictive. Attention is addictive. But golf is second to none.

At the end of my life, I have achieved belated fame and recognition in the city of my birth.

Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.

Nevertheless there are certain peaks, canons, and clear meadow spaces which are above all compassing of words, and have a certain fame as of the nobly great to whom we give no familiar names.

Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.

Good fame is like fire; when you have kindled you may easily preserve it; but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.

It is a good thing to happen to you, to have that taste of fame because then you don't hanker for it.

It was never the fame or fortune that drove me to act. It was something I love and enjoy doing it. A lot of people identify who they are by what they do and that's not me. It's what I do but not who I am. Who I am is a parent. I'm a family man.

If this fame, which people call my lucky break, were to stop tomorrow, I shouldn't care.

Fame had brought me so much unhappiness.

I'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends; that's the good stuff in life.

Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.

Ah, who can tell how hard it is to climb the steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar?
