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

I think that being thrown into instant fame must be, at times, difficult.

I've always strived to be successful, not famous.

It is difficult to be famous and that successful where you can't even walk down the street without people chasing you, and having people build monuments to you and worshiping you - all that stuff - but I never took that to a place where I believed it. I saw it as being temporary and a phase.

Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do.

I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success, talent.

The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality.

It's very hard to get rich and famous at a young age and handle it well.

If you're lucky enough to be famous, then it's great if you can use your fame and the power your fame gives you to draw attention to things that really matter.

Maybe to become famous is to reassure yourself that whatever you're lacking inside, you've fulfilled that.
