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.

I actually don't know anyone who wants to be famous for fame's sake, at least not anyone I respect. But you need to have a certain amount of power in order to be able to do what you want.

Fame is something I think happens as a result of trying to do good work. If you're trying to be famous, your work usually suffers.

One of the downsides of being famous is that folks pay far more attention to you than they should. American celebrities are constantly under surveillance, and every word they say is subject to scrutiny. So, be careful what you wish for if you desire fame. No human being should be a goldfish.

These days there are a lot of people who just want to be famous. I think that comes from a naive place, because those people generally don't know what it's like.

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

Part of being famous is offering up this blank screen upon which people can project everything, and it's a sacred act, putting yourself out there, in a way that lots of celebrities aren't steeled for; they're not prepared for the degree to which people define them.

All I say is that I don't go out with famous men.

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.
