3 December 2020 David Zucker I don’t really know a lot of famous people. I’ve met a lot of famous people. If I ran into Tom Hanks today, I would have to remind him who I was and he would then remember me. But he wouldn’t come up to me and say, ‘Hi Dave!’
3 December 2020 John Mayer I’m willing to make compromises based on someone I think is the one, but I think it’s psychologically important to people when they’re famous to be the only famous person they know.
3 December 2020 Kenneth Anger Some very famous directors have started in the mail room, which is just getting inside the studio, getting to know people, getting to know the routine.
3 December 2020 P. J. O'Rourke A very quiet and tasteful way to be famous is to have a famous relative. Then you can not only be nothing, you can do nothing too.
3 December 2020 Robert Patrick We were marching since we were babies and all we did was make Jane Fonda famous.
3 December 2020 Gordon Banks That save from Pele’s header was the best I ever made. I didn’t have any idea how famous it would become – to start with, I didn’t even realise I’d made it at all.
3 December 2020 Stephen Malkmus We were delighted to have Nigel as a producer. The only problem is that Nigel is so famous that he seems to dominate most interviews without being there.
3 December 2020 Danica McKellar Look at Jessica Simpson. She’s famous for being dumb. I guess it started with Marylyn Monroe, and she actually wasn’t that dumb, but that’s how she was perceived – and that’s what got popular.
3 December 2020 Adam Garcia The most famous person in my phone is Lindsay Lohan. We starred in ‘Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen’ together in 2004 and we’ve stayed in touch.
3 December 2020 Kate Adie It wasn’t glamorous in my day. In the regions, reporters were seen as such low life that they didn’t merit their name in the Radio Times. Now people are interested in being famous. I never gave it a thought.
3 December 2020 David Edwards I don’t care how famous a guitarist is, he ain’t learned everything. There’s always somewhere to go, something to mash up, but he ain’t found it yet. You never learn everything on that guitar neck.
3 December 2020 Elizabeth Hurley I certainly don’t want a child of mine to be famous, or anyone I was very close to who isn’t yet… It’s the worst thing to be trapped in your house not be able to leave.
3 December 2020 Louie Anderson I was with a famous comedian when a young fan walked up and asked for an autograph. The comedian blew him off. I’ll never forget the look on the young boy’s face. He was devastated.
3 December 2020 Justin Timberlake The worst thing about being famous is the invasion of your privacy.
3 December 2020 Ian Hart I don’t know how to construct a career that’ll make me famous. Except maybe get my ears pinned back, get my teeth done, and go to America. But then I’ll be competing with billions of actors who haven’t got false teeth, and who are 25.
3 December 2020 Debra Winger I always loved working as an actress, but I didn’t understand why I couldn’t just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can, and I think I did. And eventually, I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe It’s interesting because people assume that because I’m famous I know all famous people.
3 December 2020 PSY I’m a bit jealous. Until two days ago someone told me I am the most famous Korean in the world.
3 December 2020 Ashley Madekwe I don’t see myself as famous at all so I’m continuing my life as normal.
3 December 2020 Julian Clary The whole business of getting famous was good fun, but it was a long time ago.
3 December 2020 Christopher Lambert It’s not a matter of becoming a superstar. Fame and money aren’t the purpose of all this. No actor’s going to say, ‘I don’t want to be famous.’ But the main purpose for doing what I’m doing is the passion in the work.
3 December 2020 Lafcadio Hearn At last, in 1611, was made, under the auspices of King James, the famous King James version and this is the great literary monument of the English language.
3 December 2020 Usain Bolt You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you’re famous, because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.
3 December 2020 Kim Weston I felt no pressure that my grandfather was famous and my uncle was famous.
3 December 2020 Harrison Ford My goal was just to work regularly. I didn’t ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.
