Zitat des Tages über Ruhm / Fame:
Fame is a curse... it was the worst phase of my life, which I thank God I'll never have to go through again.
My emotions are very simple and always have been about the Hall of Fame. It's something that I had absolutely nothing to do with and had no control over, so I never thought much about it, to be frank.
In Italian there is an expression: We don't sleep on the fame.
I'm the age now that Rock was when he picked me up, so I can understand how he felt - how his fame limited his freedom. You get kinder as you go along.
I'm glad that he's got all this behind him. And I'm pretty sure that there's a lot of people - and there are certain people that don't report the news accurate for their own personal fame and gain. And they know who they are.
I hated my brief fame. We had TV vans camped outside my house, reporters hounded me... people i'd know for years started treating me differently.

Slowly but surely, I went through different phases of fame, and each rises you further into isolation and alienation.
I was lucky to be with Johnny... he taught me a lot about fame.
Fame does lead to money, which I don't have a close relationship with. I'm the kind of guy who never sees the money - it all goes somewhere else. I don't understand it, I don't like to deal with it. I have a fear of not having it, because I grew up without it.
He is not dead who departs from life with a high and noble fame; but he is dead, even while living, whose brow is branded with infamy.
'American Idol' is the fast track to fame. I'm just lucky it worked out. I don't feel different. The way people react to me is different.
I've been through this fame thing before, when the band was big in '80, '81.
We start 2016 with a command: that the subject of Pete Rose and the Hall of Fame is over, finis, kaput forever and ever. As sure as we will no longer discuss whether Lindsey Graham or George Pataki can be president.
I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference.
Fame comes only when deserved, and then is as inevitable as destiny, for it is destiny.
Your aim will be knowledge and wisdom, not the reflected glamour of fame.
I was conscious of my father's fame from the time I was 6.
The sooner I get into the Hall of Fame the better.
You have to be there not for the fame and glory and recognition and being a page in a history book, but you have to be there because you believe your talent and ability can be applied effectively to operation of the spacecraft.
I think the reason you use an actor is if they are right for the role. Most of the high-profile stars tend to be good actors. That's probably what led to their fame. So if they are right for the movie, you can certainly use them. But I don't want to, not at all. Stardom and Hollywood overpower the ideas and the film.
Fame is no sanctuary from the passing of youth... suicide is much easier and more acceptable in Hollywood than growing old gracefully.
People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.
I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.
I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.
I care more about my pipe than about fame and honors.
Reputation is favorable notoriety as distinguished from fame, which is permanent approval of great deeds and noble thoughts by the best intelligence of mankind.
I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press.
I haven't got any friends from where I grew up, but that's not to do with fame.
I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory, but it can be a very isolating experience.
I'll take anyway to get into the Hall of Fame. If they want a batboy, I'll go in as a batboy.
I don't need material things like gold and platinum records on my wall, Grammys or Hall Of Fame nods.
If you're a musician or actor, you know that if you're successful, some level of fame goes along with that. You're prepared. But how often does that happen to a programmer?
Otherwise, to be a movie star, it's a lot of compromise and also a lot of headaches. You can't do what you want. You become a prisoner of your fame. This happened to me in France and I don't want it.
I told Clinton I want him to rush for 2,000 yards. And I want our team to go to the Super Bowl and win it. I've been there and not won it. It's really simple for me. You get stats, fame and fortune, but if you don't end up with the ring you're never satisfied.
