3 December 2020 Moses Mendelssohn I fear that, in the end, the famous debate among materialists, idealists, and dualists amounts to a merely verbal dispute that is more a matter for the linguist than for the speculative philosopher.
3 December 2020 Van Morrison Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
3 December 2020 Moon Unit Zappa If there’s anything more mortifying than being famous at 14, it’s being washed up right after.
3 December 2020 Dido Armstrong In fact, I’d just like to own something. Everyone thinks I’m glamorous, rich and famous but all I’ve got is some recording equipment and a battered old BMW.
3 December 2020 Colin Hay I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?
3 December 2020 Clive Anderson You can be a famous poisoner or a successful poisoner, but not both, and the same seems to apply to Great Train Robbers.
3 December 2020 Johnny Knoxville A lot of stand-up comedy guys, when they get a little famous, just give up their stand-up career, and it cancels out the thing that set them apart.
3 December 2020 Bruce Willis I’ve always had confidence. Before I was famous, that confidence got me into trouble. After I got famous, it just got me into more trouble.
3 December 2020 Moliere Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading. Their fame was due to their having done something that needed to be doing in their day. The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired.
3 December 2020 Frances Bean Cobain I’m famous by default. I came out of the womb, and people wanted to know who I was because of my parents.
3 December 2020 Lawrence Lessig The real harm of term extension comes not from these famous works. The real harm is to the works that are not famous, not commercially exploited, and no longer available as a result.
3 December 2020 Cullen Hightower People seldom become famous for what they say until after they are famous for what they’ve done.
3 December 2020 Katie Holmes We had such a wonderful set of circumstances in Wilmington. Yes, the four of us became famous literally overnight, but we were in a small town and we always knew when people were coming down. We always knew when to behave.
3 December 2020 Danny Elfman I had to do this very aggressive, big score in a very short time, and knowing that in the beginning, middle, and end would be this very, very famous theme, but I still had to weave a score around it and make it work as a score was really challenging.
3 December 2020 Carey Mulligan I want to be in ‘Glee,’ but I’m told I’m not famous enough to be a cameo yet.
3 December 2020 Frank Black It’s sour grapes, I admit, I want to be more famous so people are examining my work couplet by couplet, you know what I mean? That’s the level where I want to go.
3 December 2020 Michael Caine In the sixties, everyone you knew became famous. My flatmate was Terence Stamp. My barber was Vidal Sassoon. David Hockney did the menu in a restaurant I went to. I didn’t know anyone unknown who didn’t become famous.
3 December 2020 Nicole Scherzinger I was a shy kid, but somehow I knew I would make it as a performer. I’d always be telling my mum that I was going to be a famous singer. In my school yearbooks I would write, ‘Remember me when I’m famous.’ I knew I had a gift.
3 December 2020 Roberto Cavalli If somebody for some reason, for music or for movie, becomes famous, it’s because they have something, something special.
3 December 2020 Carmelo Anthony It’s too late for me to get married before I’m famous. You never know people’s intentions.
3 December 2020 Tammin Sursok In Australia, there is a very famous show called ‘Home and Away.’ I was cast on that at 15. The day I started filming, my life changed.
3 December 2020 Eric Clapton I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I’m up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.
3 December 2020 Sun Myung Moon I served the famous professors and scholars, and eventually they learned that the Reverend Moon is superior to them. Even Nobel laureate academics who thought they were at the center of knowledge are as nothing in front of me.
3 December 2020 Joan Armatrading You don’t have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person, doing extraordinary things. I’d like more people to know that it’s there. Women’s achievements still aren’t recognised enough in many areas.
