This so-called fame or being better off doesn't really attract me at all.

Whoever has recognized the vainglory of individuality will not attach any store ("n'attachera aucun prix à", Fr.) to fame. The only one thing which is really valuable, it is to do good.

Your aim will be knowledge and wisdom, not the reflected glamour of fame.

I haven't got any friends from where I grew up, but that's not to do with fame.

Fame is not your friend. It ain't necessarily your enemy. It is what it is.

If there's anything more mortifying than being famous at 14, it's being washed up right after.

Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.

Stardom can be very destructive - particularly if you believe in it.

Being big and famous doesn't get you more freedom, it gets you less.

It's success, not fame, that is quite addictive. I'm addicted to a lot of things and, as it happens, success is one of them.
