At first it was exhilarating but when I realized it wasn't going away, it became scary and claustrophobic. Fame is a weird thing.
Sharon Stone

It's very easy to be cynical about the hall of fame. But on the other hand, it's really a beautiful thing for someone like me. I dedicated my entire life to this music.
Tom Petty

As a player, it says everything about you if you made the Hall of Fame. But, then again, boy... there's something about winning a Super Bowl.
Terry Bradshaw

I think if you're fame-hungry, go out to a nightclub and get drunk... why do that? I don't understand how some people would want fame so bad that they'd go out and get negative attention to earn it.
Zac Efron

My friends are all really nice about my fame, they're just curious really, they ask lots of questions.
Emma Watson

Every day I work at not taking this fame thing seriously. Fortunately I have a great group of friends who help me do this.
Bruce Willis

Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Antoine Rivarol

Now, I don't know how they judge all that, but if anybody in the world deserves to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Ritchie Valens does.
Waylon Jennings

Fame was thrilling only until it became grueling. Money was fun only until you ran out of things to buy.
Gloria Swanson

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

People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.
Jackie Collins

One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up for missing out on my childhood. But the idea of money - putting a price on your childhood - is ridiculous. You will never get those years back and you can't put a price on them.
Tom Felton

And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it's not real. And it's totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can.
Tom Felton

In Italian there is an expression: We don't sleep on the fame.
Donatella Versace

Music for me is an emotional thing and it really does make me happy. It's not a tool for me to get fame or see my face in the papers or anything like that. It's about the fact that I really do enjoy it.
Ville Valo

There is not in the world so toilsome a trade as the pursuit of fame; life concludes before you have so much as sketched your work.
Jean de la Bruyere

Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives.
Friedrich Schiller

Fame is a constant effort.
Jules Renard

I just hope I can live long enough to see the fame.
Robert Mapplethorpe

Fame, I have already. Now I need the money.
Wilhelm Steinitz
