If you're famous, you're not free.

I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the idea of being famous.

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

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.

Being big and famous doesn't get you more freedom, it gets you less.

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

I don't think about being famous, really. Being an author, I don't generally get stopped as I walk down the street. It's not like being a movie star.

We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.

Being famous before you've formed your personality, before you have that self-esteem, is dangerous.

I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.
