Being in Us Weekly does not make you famous.

It is funny - nowadays people that are famous get chased by paparazzi. They have this fame, but they do not have the money to hide from it.

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

A lot of stand-up comedy guys, when they get a little famous, just give up their stand-up career, and it cancels out the thing that set them apart.

I would love to do a biopic of a famous singer, like Diana Ross or Donna Summer, or an old jazz story that we have not seen before. I would love to do that! I would love to play Diana Ross cause she is an icon. I am salivating to do that.

I can not imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success, talent.

Quite frankly, I did not become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.

That the work involved, the willingness to take chances, the commitment, the opportunity to get on stage and make people happy, was more important than becoming famous, or even what I was dancing.

I am world famous, everywhere I go there are people who love me because of I have been able to bring them some joy from the movies I have made.

There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I do not care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.

After Skins I became mildly famous, which was a bit of a disaster.

I am coming out with a wine... I am actually a restaurateur. I have Famous Famiglia Pizzeria that has opened up in the Sacramento airport. I am also working with my business partner on opening up the Linnethia Lounge.

Few would argue that Richard Dawkins is the world most famous atheist, especially now that his friend and rival for the title, Christopher Hitchens, has now gone to meet his Maker.

I wanted to go hide. I was not looking to be more famous, I am famous enough.

I also want to go to an Italian island and do cuisine properly with some famous Italian chef and, like, his mother.

I never wanted to be famous.

I get recognized, but I am not really a famous famous.

Once you are famous you can not go back.

I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big, famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.

To be famous and broke is hard.
