There's just so many great artists out there, but I think growing up, J. Cole has been the guy that I've always been listening to, even in college. Going from that struggle to stardom, that rise to stardom, 'Dolla and a Dream,' all that stuff - I've listened to all his classics, all the old J. Cole stuff.

C. J. McCollum

I was a common man, and I will always remain a common man. No amount of stardom will ever consume my soul. Money comes, money goes. Fame comes, fame goes. I believe every human being is a celebrity in their own right.

A. R. Rahman

I have no hang-ups in life. I don't care about groups and camps. I have been brought up with certain values and ethics. I have never been egoistic about my stardom and lineage. I don't have any qualms about breaking the ice with my colleagues. I can walk up to any actor and greet him, irrespective of what kind of equation I share with him.

Abhishek Bachchan

I grew up in Chennai and was very much influenced by Rajinikant's stardom and importance of cinema in Tamil culture.

Abhishek Banerjee

To be honest, unless you rocket straight to stardom as a gorgeous young vampire, you can spend a lot of time working behind a bar.

Adam Rayner

Well, obviously I'm not Mark Wahlberg - I have much better abs and I look much better in a pair of Calvin Kleins but when I saw Mark Wahlberg interacting with the world, I realised that his stardom was sort of a result of the movies he had done and the publicity that he had got and the work that he did.

Adrian Grenier

I don't think about stardom anymore. I'm way past that phase.

Akkineni Nagarjuna

You're never quite prepared for the inundation of stardom, or whatever you want to call it.

Al Jourgensen

When I'm introduced at invited lectures at other universities, the students place a Bobo doll by the lectern. From time to time, I have been asked to autograph one. The Bobo doll has achieved stardom in psychological circles.

Albert Bandura

I don't think stardom will ever go to my head.

Ali Fazal

Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'

Ani DiFranco

I don't want this big stardom thing. I just want a good script.

Annette O'Toole

I don't believe in stardom or in the number game. What I concentrate more is on my work and how I can improve my character.

Anushka Shetty

It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.

ASAP Rocky

The release of my first film was a very memorable event in my life. It was stardom overnight. There was a very big premiere.

Asha Parekh

I still remember most people in the industry warning me that I was not playing the stardom game and that I was becoming niche because these content films don't do big numbers.

Ayushmann Khurrana

I don't wish stardom on anyone. When I hear people say, 'this guy's a star,' I always say, 'good luck.'

B. J. Armstrong

Shah Rukh Khan's stardom always inspires me. His sensibilities, way of life and the way he does business, I love him for that.

Badshah

My music comes before my stardom, so the pressure of handling fame does not matter.

Badshah

I think when I was younger, I wanted to be a star, until I became a star, and then it's a lot of work. It's work to be a star. I don't enjoy the stardom part. I only enjoy the creative process.

Barbra Streisand

It took several years of hard work in small roles before I attained stardom.

Bela Lugosi
