The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke - the fact that Madonna is in before Rush and Kiss. Those two bands have influenced so many groups and people other than in metal.
I'm really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It's going to be unbelievable - just crazy. I'm looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game.
I didn't have parents who were, you know, racing to get a reality television show, you know? Or looking to benefit in some way from their daughter's fame.

I would advise all youths aspiring to athletic fame or a professional career to practice clean living, fair play and good sportsmanship.
Who has the fame to be an early riser may sleep till noon.
Ah, dearer than my soul. Dearer than light, or life, or fame.
Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; riches take wings; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.
At root fame is a sham. I'm not going to live forever and if I am I certainly need don't you to tell me that so that I will buy a car or a box of dried up crackers.
But once I acclimated and really used fame for what it was offering me as a tool to serve my life purpose of inspiring and contributing, then it started to get fun again.
I think that being thrown into instant fame must be, at times, difficult.
I made enough money to buy a house. That's crazy, but fame proved ephemeral.
If it were just a dream to be famous, then I probably would have died a really quick death, because there is nothing about me that equals fame. I'm not a standup comedian. I don't sing.
In one of my songs, I say fame is nothing more than loving someone. So I'm grateful every day that there's so many fans of people out there that love my music and feel they're connected to me through that.
Dozens of America's wealthiest taxpayers - including hedge fund legend Michael Steinhardt, super trial lawyer Guy Saperstein, and Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's fame - have appealed to President Obama not to renew the Bush tax cuts for anyone earning more than $1 million a year.
All the work built my fame and certainly made me more money, but the toll it took in my home was not good.
He's just like my father that way-my father just adored my mother and let her do whatever she wanted. John's like that. He's a very rare man, a very good man, and I've had a good life with him. I'm proud to be walking in the wake of Johnny's fame.
There's not always going to be something out there for you, especially not a positive role, so once you get up there and start being well known, you can't just think projects will come to you. You have to start doing your own projects because if you don't, you'll miss out, and eventually your fame will be over.
The money, the fame, if that comes, that's fantastic. But at the end of the day, my aim is to go to sleep at night content and have a purpose, and to know that I'm not swapping my life for money and some mind-numbing boring job, making easy money and protecting my brain.
I went to a regular school, not one of those fame academy things.
From my position, obviously I want to maximise my potential and go as far as I can go and as high as I can go, but I'm not chasing fame. I get enough of that.
Fame should be left to the film stars.
I live my life parallel with my work, and they are both equally important. I'm always amazed how much people talk about celebrity and fame. I don't understand the attraction.
Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few; and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life.
When I was younger, I was one of the few girls in the neighborhood who could break dance. That's kind of my local, ghetto-celebrity claim to fame.
If cash comes with fame, come fame; if cash comes without fame, come cash.
Fame attracts lunatics.
I just want the money and the fame and the adoration, and I don't want any of the other stuff.
Fame is addictive. Money is addictive. Attention is addictive. But golf is second to none.
The thing about Bollywood is that you can't just quit it even if you have little fame. You have to stick around and keep trying.
I lost money, coaching jobs, a shot at the Hall of Fame.
Fame is empowering. My mistake was that I thought I would instinctively know how to handle it. But there's no manual, no training course.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.
I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.
