‐‐ Jane Velez-Mitchell
Fame is one of the potential hazards of this job, but I really just want to make movies. I want to be respected, sure. Who doesn't? But famous-famous? I just don't care about it. And if you genuinely don't give a damn about that stuff, you really are free.

Fame is part of me and my life as an actor. I enjoy the creative aspects of my life as an actor. I enjoy directing and acting as well. But the bottom line for me is not prestige and power. It's about having an exciting, creative life.
‐‐ Matt Dillon
Fame is really strange. One day you're not famous, and then the next day you are, and the odd thing is that you know intellectually that nothing in the world is different. What mattered to you yesterday are the same things that matter today, and the rules all still apply - yet everyone looks at you differently.
‐‐ Matt Damon
Fame is short-lived, and you're the last to know when you are no longer hot.

Fame isn't healthy for a writer.

Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
‐‐ Shakira
Fame itself... doesn't really afford you anything more than a good seat in a restaurant.

Fame, money and the size of the market are not very important to me. What is, is writing a book that is worth doing and then publishing it. I don't write books for entertainment, for people to pass the time then throw away.
‐‐ Aidan Chambers
Fame necessarily isn't really tied to success at all. Fame is just being recognized for doing what you do, whether it's good or bad. Osama bin Laden was famous.
‐‐ Big Sean
Fame obviously has become a premium in everybody's life. Everybody thinks they deserve it, everybody thinks they want it and most people really don't enjoy it once they get it.

‐‐ Alexander McQueen
Fame sweeps you away. I had to go home every six months to remember who I am.
‐‐ Sissy Spacek
Fame terrifies me. I can say that with honesty. You're terrified that, when people know the real you, they won't like you.
‐‐ Charlie Cox
Fame was initially this kind of blunt tool that was thrust into my hands very young.
‐‐ Josh Hartnett
Fame was never something I was seeking in my artistic journey. It's to be used as a tool for an artist to break open doors and keep creating. That's how I enjoyed fame in '74; it was not just for the emptiness of being famous.
‐‐ Philippe Petit
Fame was not at all what it was cracked up to be, as far as I was concerned.
