Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.

I guess the nicest thing about being, I won't say famous but being popular is a more proper word for me to use would be that if you've got a recognizable name, a lot of times you can get people to do things for you ordinarily that you wouldn't get done.

The crushing, pitiful, and frequently just plain risible pathos of an unsuccessful actor/performer's life is well charted.

I've never seen the allure of being famous, because I know what that's like. It's part of work.

I don't think I could think of a single thing that's more isolating than being famous.

Sometimes I think that when people become famous, there's a public perception that they are not human beings any more. They don't have feelings; they don't get hurt; you can act and say as you like about them.

Some of the most miserable people I know are some of the richest people in America, they are the most miserable individuals I've ever seen.

Being very famous is not the fun it sounds. It merely means you're being chased by a lot of people and you lose your privacy.

I don't know what 'famous' is, really.
