Fame had brought me so much unhappiness.

If this fame, which people call my lucky break, were to stop tomorrow, I shouldn't care.

It was never the fame or fortune that drove me to act. It was something I love and enjoy doing it. A lot of people identify who they are by what they do and that's not me. It's what I do but not who I am. Who I am is a parent. I'm a family man.

It is a good thing to happen to you, to have that taste of fame because then you don't hanker for it.

Good fame is like fire; when you have kindled you may easily preserve it; but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.

Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.

Nevertheless there are certain peaks, canons, and clear meadow spaces which are above all compassing of words, and have a certain fame as of the nobly great to whom we give no familiar names.

Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.

At the end of my life, I have achieved belated fame and recognition in the city of my birth.

Fame is addictive. Money is addictive. Attention is addictive. But golf is second to none.

I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!

Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.

Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.

It's not the money. It's not the fame. It's the influence.

I feel like fame is wasted on me.
