3 December 2020 Bobby Thomson In New York, after that famous home run, they expected me to be up there every year. That homer raised me to a high level, with the top guys in the game.
3 December 2020 Jeremy Northam I’ve never had a desire to be famous. Lots of actors are actually extremely shy. I have shy areas.
3 December 2020 Julia Roberts I could have been a dental hygienist with nothing bad ever appearing in print about me, but that’s not how I’ve chosen to lead my life. I knew that you put yourself under a microscope the more famous you become.
3 December 2020 Charles Barkley One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check.

3 December 2020 Norman Rockwell I didn’t know what to expect from a famous movie star maybe that he’d be sort of stuck-up, you know. But not Gary Cooper. He horsed around so much… that I had a hard time painting him.
3 December 2020 Seth Rogen I remember, when I was an up-and-coming comic, how annoyed I would be when the famous guys would show up and just take everyone’s spots.
3 December 2020 David Lee Roth You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He’s just famous for his sound.

3 December 2020 George Matthew Adams There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don’t care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.
3 December 2020 Chris Rock Sometimes people offer you plays, they offer you parts, but they only offer it because I’m famous.

3 December 2020 Gary Oldman I don’t go to premieres. I don’t go to parties. I don’t covet the Oscar. I don’t want any of that. I don’t go out. I just have dinner at home every night with my kids. Being famous, that’s a whole other career. And I haven’t got any energy for it.
3 December 2020 Ian Hart My philosophy was, if I just do good work, someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I’m way, way too old now, mate. That boat’s sailed.
3 December 2020 Kristin Scott Thomas I’m not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I’m too feeble.
3 December 2020 Silvia Colloca Italian girls are famous for being snobby and expecting men to make the first move. In America, if I don’t make eye contact, the guys won’t come over and talk. American girls just go for it. You men are spoiled.
3 December 2020 Lee Ryan I was brought up with psychics and tarot cards. My mum was always told I was going to be in a boy band and be famous as a singer.
3 December 2020 Sarah McLachlan I didn’t get hugely famous really quick. It was a slow, gradual process, so I was able to sort of grow into myself and figure out who I was and what I wanted without the glaring spotlight on me telling me who I was.
3 December 2020 Jean-Jacques Rousseau How many famous and high-spirited heroes have lived a day too long?
3 December 2020 Eric Heiden It’s not a sport you get famous at. If I wanted to be famous, I would have stuck with hockey.
3 December 2020 Anne Hathaway Quite frankly, I didn’t become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.
3 December 2020 David Walliams I know somebody from university who’s called Phil Collins and I think there’s something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name With somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.
