Pastoral Resources

I don't have any expectations as an actor and being rich and famous is not my driving force.

What is a movie star? It is an illusion. It was everything I ever wanted to be, but it became a kind of shell, non? It was what made me famous and got me women. But it wasn't real.

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.

There are people who appear in the magazines and I don't know who they are. I've never seen anything they've done and their careers are over already. They're famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers, I think, take a long time to unfold.

The Band was always famous for its retirements; we'd go and play and get a little petty cash together, and then not see each other till it was time to fill our pockets up again.

Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians.

I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.

It's not my goal to be a famous actor.

Being famous hasn't changed my perception of myself - I've just grown up.

I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not.

I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.

I will either be famous or infamous.

At first, I thoroughly enjoyed being famous.

Celebrity distorts democracy by giving the rich, beautiful, and famous more authority than they deserve.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.

It struck me that working digitally with a small crew, I could lay out a general plan for Famous and hope for mistakes which would create something more than satire and something less than truthful reality.

It was I who made Fellini famous, not the other way around.

I had to do this very aggressive, big score in a very short time, and knowing that in the beginning, middle, and end would be this very, very famous theme, but I still had to weave a score around it and make it work as a score was really challenging.
