My favorite thing about being famous... it's not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough, doing interviews, and all the stuff. It's still pretty tough.
Aaron Carter
Mum loves me being famous! She is so excited and proud, as she had me so young and couldn't support me, so I am living her dream, it's sweeter for both of us. It's her 40th birthday soon and I'm going to buy her 40 presents.
Adele
I'm not interested in being famous. I'm interested in doing my job and doing it well, and that's wrestling, and that's what I love.
AJ Lee
The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You're in a conversation and everybody's agreeing with what you're saying - even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear.
Al Pacino
Part of being famous is offering up this blank screen upon which people can project everything, and it's a sacred act, putting yourself out there, in a way that lots of celebrities aren't steeled for; they're not prepared for the degree to which people define them.
Alanis Morissette
I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the idea of being famous.
Alison Lohman
Being famous as a kid is weird and unhealthy.
Alyson Stoner
At age 14, you are just beginning to work out who you think you are, and being famous is a huge distortion of reality, and it's not healthy for a young person to be considered more special than their peers. So, I would say it hindered my self-esteem but in later years gave me a great perspective that I wouldn't have if I hadn't experienced that.
Amanda de Cadenet
I got sick of being famous. It is not a desirable 'job.'
I've learned it's not about being famous and big money. L.A. can be a fun place, but when it comes down to it - and this might sound hokey - there's no place like home.
Amy Locane
We have this obsession with celebrity, where people can go on shows and makes millions of pounds from being completely talentless - Jade Goody, all that type of people - and it really gets to me. I'm not interested, I'm a musician. It's not about being famous and being a celeb.
Amy Macdonald
Don't worry about being famous or making money; the most important thing is being the best. You have to become a master of your craft, and everything else will come.
Anastasia Soare
I used to be like everyone else and think the Kardashians are just famous for being famous. But I've been really impressed with how supportive Kim Kardashian has been of Caitlyn Jenner.
Anne Hathaway
Acting is not about being famous, it's about exploring the human soul.
Annette Bening
I'm more interested in being good than being famous.
Annie Leibovitz
It's hard to say I don't like being famous, but how I feel is that I don't see myself as that person. It baffles me that people would want a picture with me.
Anthony Joshua
The stalkers can get a little scary at times, but I guess all these things are a part of being famous.
Armaan Malik
Being famous for fame's sake wasn't the goal when I co-founded the Go-Go's. I just wanted to sing and have a laugh.
Belinda Carlisle
We are taught these days that being famous is more important than actually doing something.
Ben Howard
There aren't many downsides to being rich, other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous, that's a 24 hour job right there.
Bill Murray
One of the downsides of being famous is that folks pay far more attention to you than they should. American celebrities are constantly under surveillance, and every word they say is subject to scrutiny. So, be careful what you wish for if you desire fame. No human being should be a goldfish.
Being famous is complete luck, and that's something you can't bank on.
I was in this hamster wheel of being famous for being famous, much like a reality star. You would put me on a talkshow, I would say outrageous things. I was just perpetuating myself as a celebrity, and I found that really empty.
People are famous for being famous and for nothing else. And good luck to them, because it lasts about a year and then they're nothing again.
The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff.
I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!
I have no interest in being famous for the sake of being famous.
To me, I can be famous in sports. But to me, I cannot say it means a lot to be famous. Being famous is something I don't like.
Being famous hasn't changed my perception of myself - I've just grown up.
I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not.
One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check.
Being famous before you've formed your personality, before you have that self-esteem, is dangerous.
Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?
I love being famous. It's almost like being white.
There's some downsides to being famous, which are not even worth mentioning. But to combat the bad sides of being famous, you really should take advantage of the good sides. The good sides are, you can use that fame to get projects you might not normally get.
My life is way bigger than boxing or acting or being rich or being famous or endorsements.
I think the driving thing was curiosity about the universe. That fascinated me. I didn't think anything about being famous or anything like that, I was just interested in the concepts involved.
Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed.

I never thought about being famous.

Being famous is great, it's not like bad or horrible or anything.
I've always been passionate about acting. I haven't been passionate about being famous.
My daughter couldn't care less about me being famous. She finds it revolting and, like a lot of teenagers, is virtually allergic to me. That started at 12 and hasn't gone anywhere yet.
I always loved working as an actress, but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can, and I think I did. And eventually, I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.
To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose.
You know, I did not like being famous. It was a stressful and ugly time, and I'm glad it's over.
I enjoyed living in Canada, where my husband comes from, because I was treated like any ordinary person. I became a volunteer at my children's school; I went into the classroom. It was very grounding. I got sick of being famous.
Having bodyguards is just part of being famous, I think.
When you work with actors, what you're hoping to absorb is good ways to be an actor as opposed to how to handle being famous.
