If you want me in the Hall of Fame put me in because of some contributions that I have made to country music.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame traditionally has had a management style that is very supportive of American talent, first and foremost, over everything else. And I think that's right and proper.
I've never had a voice coach, but I am about to name drop horrendously here: I did once get some advice on how to project my voice from Sean Connery, which was lovely. It's all about where you breathe. That's my claim to fame.
At the end of my life, I have achieved belated fame and recognition in the city of my birth.
Fame is not a natural condition for human beings.
He who would acquire fame must not show himself afraid of censure. The dread of censure is the death of genius.
Fame is indeed beautiful and benign and gentle and satisfying, but happiness is something at once tender and brilliant beyond all things.
Oh, you know, I think it was definitely a little pressure, to remake something like 'Fame'.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
I don't think fame is that important to me.
Passion is the thing that sustains you in acting. If you're doing it for fame and money, don't even bother because it will never happen. The last thing I ever expected was to be paid for this.
With fame, you can't trust everybody. You can't depend on them being there for you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got and what you can bring to their life. It's not a relationship-it's a leech.
I didn't get into making music for the fame aspect. There are people who do desire that.
It takes a very strange person to enjoy fame, with all the by-products that come with it. It's not necessarily a thrill.
Fame is very corrosive and you have to guard very strictly against it.
The fame aspect of winning the Masters... besides being married and becoming a father, that's a strong third there.
After a point of time, when you get success and fame, money and everything, the purpose of life has to be redefined. For me, I think that purpose is to build bridges. Artists can do that very easily, more than politicians.
I can't watch my first audition because it makes me too upset. I just think it is really sad. I look at myself and don't recognize myself. I do think fame and fortune changes people.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Only the film industry can make you an overnight success. Unlike other jobs where you have to work your way up, here you can reach dizzying heights of fame instantly.
'The Host' is very much in the same vein as 'Twilight', and there's clearly a huge fan base out there. But I can't imagine myself being as huge as Robert Pattinson. I'm not sure I could handle that level of fame.
The human bird shall take his first flight, filling the world with amazement, all writings with his fame, and bringing eternal glory to the nest whence he sprang.
Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.
My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame.
Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.
I think there are a lot of people who are afraid to be who they are, and if I have to sacrifice a little bit of fame and a little bit of success because I'm being 100 percent truthful with who I am, hopefully that will create a paved way for someone else.
I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Don't I have the numbers to be inducted?
It's not the money. It's not the fame. It's the influence.
Whatever the opposite of regret is best describes how I've always felt about that decision - it opened me up to a million creative opportunities I needed to experience away from the bull and distorting mirrors that fame engenders.
It was never the fame or fortune that drove me to act. It was something I love and enjoy doing it. A lot of people identify who they are by what they do and that's not me. It's what I do but not who I am. Who I am is a parent. I'm a family man.
I absolutely refuse the fame part of my business. I refuse even the money side of my business. I try to do as good work as I can do, I try to grow in my art and reach for truth. That's what I want from my art, that's what I aspire to.
Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim, wisdom is the source of virtue and of fame; obtained with labour, for mankind employed, and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.
Passion for fame: A passion which is the instinct of all great souls.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Some people can handle fame, some can't.
The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.
