Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program. Linus Torvalds
If you're a movie star, there's a cycle you go through: adoration, adulation, you're used, and then you're discarded. And it happens again and again, always in that sequence. John Cusack
I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing. Charlie Watts
Look, three love affairs in history, are Abelard and Eloise, Romeo and Juliet and the American media and this President at the moment. But this doesn't matter over time. Reality will impinge. If his programs work, he's fine. If it doesn't work, all of the adulation of journalists in the world won't matter. George Will
I'm always shy in front of an audience, so I'm always at the back, in the shadows, just doing it. I don't like the front, the adulation. Bill Wyman
