No one is famous when they wake up in the morning, so it's nice seeing people in moments when they're just being themselves.

I want to get so famous that I don't have to wake up in the morning. It'll probably never happen.

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

I have no sense of being famous - you're just working. And then you'll have a random day in London when you'll do some press and it creeps into your awareness that this goes out - that what you do every day goes out to televisions right across the country.

I think there are a lot of people who really want to be famous, they really do. I don't. It sort of gets in the way of the everyday things that I do.

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.

Why does anybody want to be famous? You know what's important to me? Having lunch! Pasta! Seeing my friends! Is that so crazy?

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

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.

I think being famous is more of a hindrance, a constraint, than just letting yourself be free.
