I would advise all youths aspiring to athletic fame or a professional career to practice clean living, fair play and good sportsmanship.
If you live through the initial stage of fame and get past it, and remember thats not who you are. If you live past that, then you have a hope of maybe learning how to spell the word artist.
Fame was thrilling only until it became grueling. Money was fun only until you ran out of things to buy.
No true and permanent fame can be founded except in labors which promote the happiness of mankind.
People can get certain good things out of fame, but until it killed a princess nobody ever talked about how bad it can be.
The honor I feel today being inducted into the Hall of Fame is beyond what words can describe. My thanks to the Hall of Fame committee, who saw fit to bestow this great honor upon me today.
My goal had been to win a championship, work toward the Hall of Fame, have my jersey retired by the team and I'd go in as a lifelong New York Giant, but I'm now resigned to the fact that this won't happen.
At first it was exhilarating but when I realized it wasn't going away, it became scary and claustrophobic. Fame is a weird thing.
If a man loves the labour of his trade, apart from any question of success or fame, the gods have called him.
Fame, I have already. Now I need the money.
I don't want to be in the Hall of Fame. I don't think owners should be.
Whatever fame came did so not because I sought it.
Fame has also this great drawback, that if we pursue it, we must direct our lives so as to please the fancy of men.
It's been a tremendous ride. My 15 years, my 15 minutes of fame, is up.
To be occasionally quoted is the only fame I care for.
