3 December 2020 Paul Biya Slowly but surely, we are acquiring that famous culture of democracy, which is our objective.
3 December 2020 Charlie Kaufman I’ve had to deal, a lot, with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people – especially actors, but really any famous people.
3 December 2020 Bruce Dickinson I don’t like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!
3 December 2020 Clyde Tombaugh I think the driving thing was curiosity about the universe. That fascinated me. I didn’t think anything about being famous or anything like that, I was just interested in the concepts involved.
3 December 2020 Carol Burnett But I didn’t ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn’t even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.
3 December 2020 Eva Herzigova I put my money in the bank: I have to think of life after modeling, when I’m not famous any more.
3 December 2020 Cat Stevens I became very famous, as a teenager, and my name and photo were splashed in all the media. They made me larger than life, so I wanted to live larger than life, and the only way to do that was to be intoxicated.
3 December 2020 David Friedman I may not be the most famous songwriter in the world, but you know a David Friedman song when you hear it. It took me a long time to appreciate that.
3 December 2020 Stephen Rea I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.
3 December 2020 Nikki Cox You’re asking the wrong girl about fame. I’m hardly famous. I wouldn’t want to trade places with anyone else.
3 December 2020 Marina Warner When I was young, I did actually model and was much photographed by famous photographers. But I was always a bookworm.
3 December 2020 Neko Case I would be a huge hypocrite if I didn’t tell you that at one time in my life I thought the way that you made music was you got on a major label and you got famous.
3 December 2020 Francesca Annis Exposure makes you famous, not just good work. Famous is being plastered everywhere.
3 December 2020 William Scott The one thing you’ve got to say about Columbia is that it has courses that are famous. It has alumni who come back and say it was the best thing they ever did.
3 December 2020 Hedy Lamarr Dates with actors, finally, just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became, the more I narrowed down my choices.
3 December 2020 Pat Brown While we are being fascinated by the tales of famous serial killers and how they were brought to justice, the real serial killer goes about his business with hardly a thought to being caught.
3 December 2020 Luciano Pavarotti In opera, as with any performing art, to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course, but you must also be famous. The two are different things.
3 December 2020 James Wood I’m famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the earth because I figure, a) They pay my salary, and b) It’s probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say, ‘Just come on up.’
3 December 2020 Jerry Lewis People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius.
3 December 2020 Jessica Alba I don’t put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.
3 December 2020 Amanda Seyfried It’s really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don’t hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don’t do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.
3 December 2020 Julie Walters I remember Michael saying, ‘Rich and famous? It’s much better to be just rich’. I didn’t quite get it to begin with. But he’s right. You lose anonymity. I say to my family that you’ve no idea until you lose it how precious anonymity is.
3 December 2020 Pauly Shore Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that’s Hollywood.
3 December 2020 Diane Keaton I think that people who are famous tend to be underdeveloped in their humanity skills.
