Nobody makes bouillabaisse from scratch. It is all a bunch of malarkey. Even the restaurants buy a commercial-grade product. I had a very famous chef tell me that.

I feel very strong as an individual, but as a famous footballer I know I am prone to certain things. All the media have a continuous interest for me. It varies from once a year to every day interest.

There aren't many downsides to being rich, other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous, that is a 24 hour job right there.

When I was younger, I used to say, One day I will be famous.

For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.

I married a pretty famous girl, and when we drive through town there is usually a car following us, when I walk out of my front door in Chelsea there is six guys waiting for me.

First of all, plain and simple, you have no real idea of what it means to be famous until you become famous. It is a double-edged sword. Obviously there are a lot of amazing things about fame, but there are also a lot of challenging things about it.

The only reason I became the singer in the band is because I sang the best. It was not out of some desire to be a star or be a famous singer. It is not like I love interviews.

Famous people feel that they must perpetually be on the crest of the wave, not realising that it is against all the rules of life. You can not be on top all the time, it is not natural.

When I was 24, I was full of life. I was that ham who wanted to be famous, a movie star, all that stuff. I think it is cool. But it was not what I was searching for, really. It was more a delusion.

There has been a time on earth when poets had been young and dead and famous - and were men. But now the poet as the tragic child of grandeur and destiny had changed. The child of genius was a woman, now, and the man was gone.

I do had people say, You'll enjoy being famous for a week, and you'll never enjoy it again. But I do not think I had that week. I may have been working and missed that moment.

Sometimes I like to play the soundtracks to famous musicals so we can all sing along. South Pacific is one of my favorites. Our neighbors must hate us.

Famous pivot stories are often failures but you do not need to fail before you pivot. All a pivot is is a change is strategy without a change in vision. Whenever entrepreneurs see a new way to achieve their vision - a way to be more successful - they have to remain nimble enough to take it.

What makes the Stones arrogance so divine is that we all believe that long ago and far away they weren't rich and famous but poor and struggling, just like us.

Some of the things I have seen a lot of my female-actress friends who are relatively famous receive - I have seen some hideous things. Like some really, really bad things... like, the FBI should be contacted immediately.

I do not want to end up being a circus act, doing my most famous tricks when I am 70.

I am not in the business of becoming famous. And that is the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it is not important to be seen. It is important to do. There is a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.

Face it, I did not become famous until I took my clothes off.
