‐‐ Kacey Musgraves
Fame had brought me so much unhappiness.

Fame has become this obsession for people, which kind of creeps me out.
‐‐ Zoe Kravitz
Fame has sent a number of celebrities off the deep end, and in the case of Michael Jackson, to the kiddy pool.
‐‐ Bill Maher
Fame hasn't really affected me. I have a really close knit group around me, and my sister is always with me, so it's like a bit of a travelling circus.
‐‐ Laura Mvula
Fame hit me like a ton of bricks.
‐‐ Eminem
Fame, I mean, it's like a bubble, in a way. It's like something glittery, and it goes, and it can be forgotten fast.
‐‐ Veruschka von Lehndorff
Fame infantilises and grants relative impunity. Those that seek it, out of an exaggerated need for admiration or attention, are often the least well equipped to deal with criticism.
‐‐ Jemima Khan
Fame introduced me to a world of instant gratification and decadence I hadn't seen before.
‐‐ Jesse Metcalfe

Fame is a can of worms I haven't really had to contend with.

Fame is a constant effort.
‐‐ Jules Renard
Fame is a curse... it was the worst phase of my life, which I thank God I'll never have to go through again.
‐‐ Sinead O'Connor
Fame is a dangerous thing. It's what the post-industrial society wants. They want fame and many followers on Twitter. But to really make the world understandable, that challenge is remaining.
‐‐ Hans Rosling
Fame is a delicate and dangerous creature; I saw people who didn't honor it, who refused to take responsibility for it, get destroyed by it. I also saw that stardom in and of itself was empty.
‐‐ Patrick Dempsey

‐‐ OMI
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
‐‐ Emily Dickinson
Fame is a fickle thing that only lasts as long as you can be out there offering yourself to the public. And as soon as you relax for five minutes, they're gone, you know, and they're following somebody else.
‐‐ Jesse Stone
Fame is a funny thing. I like doing normal things. I like going to fairs. I like going to ball games. I like going to Disney World or a big field on the Fourth of July and having picnics with friends. The problem is you're either worried you're going to be recognized, or you're thankful you're not. It's always there.
‐‐ Chris Evans
Fame is a lot of fun, but it's not interesting. I loved being noticed and praised, even the banquets. But they didn't have anything that I wanted. After about six months, I found it boring.
‐‐ Jack Gilbert
Fame is a lot of pressure, especially when you're responsible for your entire family. Financially, emotionally - everything.
‐‐ Nick Carter
Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.
‐‐ Reba McEntire
Fame is a modern phenomenon caused by the explosion of media, where there's a zillion digital channels and snappers everywhere. It's so attainable, so people can have their Warhol 15 minutes of fame, and some are so aggressive.
‐‐ Simon Fuller
Fame is a series of misunderstandings surrounding a name.
‐‐ Joni Mitchell
Fame is a silly business. People who chase it are almost always going to be disappointed.

‐‐ Scott Hamilton
Fame is a very strange animal.
‐‐ Adam Lambert
Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.
‐‐ Benedict Cumberbatch
Fame is addictive. Money is addictive. Attention is addictive. But golf is second to none.
‐‐ Marc Anthony
Fame is an interesting phenomenon.
‐‐ Paulina Porizkova
Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it's really not bad.

Fame is an unnatural construct and those who go in search of it are the least likely to find it.
‐‐ Ryan Adams
Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.

‐‐ Daniel Radcliffe
Fame is easy to acquire; impact is much more difficult.

‐‐ Charlie Sheen
Fame is everywhere; the 15 minutes are now the dominant themes of our times.
‐‐ Nick Mancuso
Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.

Fame is hollow. It amplifies what is there. If there is any self-doubt, or hatred, or lack of ability to connect with people, fame will magnify it.
‐‐ Alanis Morissette
Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.
‐‐ Katy Perry

Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.
‐‐ Francis Bacon
Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!
‐‐ Davy Crockett
Fame is like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have it at every meal.
‐‐ Marilyn Monroe
