Famous Quotes A-Z by Author |
You know, people make a lot of money talking
about me, don't they? They just get on those
shows, and they talk away. There's nothing
I can do. And that's one of the great lessons
I try to convey in my book, which my mother
implanted in me as a young girl.. Is you
can either be an actor in your own life,
or a reactor in somebody else's.

If we allow the celebrity rock-star model
of leadership to triumph, we will see the
decline of corporations and institutions
of all types. The twentieth century was
a century of greatness, but we face the
very real prospect that the next century
will see very few enduring great institutions.

The world reacts very strangely to people
they see on TV, and I can begin to understand
how anchor monsters are made. If you're
not careful, you can become used to being
treated as though you're special and begin
to expect it. For a reporter, that's the
kiss of death.

I've stopped caring about skeptics, but
if they libel or defame me they will end
up in court.

You aren't famous until my mother has heard of you.
Jay
Leno - Famous
It's fun when you're driving, and people wave at you, and you wave back.
I think you either like people or you don't. I mean, I don't want to put on sunglasses.
That's why I'm in show business.
Jay
Leno - Famous

When you're touring and if you go to a party,
there's automatically a celebrity-audience
distance. It follows you around, especially
when you're on the road in small towns.
Any time there is awe, it gets very difficult
to be normal, to be yourself. But I'm not
saying that that's what made me the way
I am. I've probably always been distant.
Steve
Martin - Famous
- Difficult
Reviews for someone like me come in three
packages. One is justifiable praise, the
second is justifiable criticism, and the
third is, "This is only published because
he’s a celebrity."

I'm 48. For a while after 'The Jerk' (movie)
I had a feeling of failure. I was a little
scared. First people discover you and they
love you. You get big and then you fail.
And people are glad that you fail. But I've
always come back and I've started to trust
myself.
Steve
Martin - Famous
- Criticism
- Failure
- Trust
You know, there's a moment when you're famous
when it's unbearable to go out because you're
too famous. And then there's a moment when
you're famous just right.
Steve
Martin - Famous
I seem to have developed quite a following
among younger people. I'm
enjoying it. It's nice when you work hard
and see that people enjoy it.
George
Ross - Famous
- Hard Work
- Enjoyment
I never expected to be in the papers. I personally never expected to be
in the papers. The height of my ambition for these books was, well frankly, to
get reviewed. A lot of children's books don't even get reviewed.. forget good
review, bad review. Personally, no, I never expected to be in the papers so it's
an odd experience when it happens to you.

I
didn't think they'd rake through my bins, I didn't expect to be photographed on
the beach through long lenses. I never dreamt it would impact my daughter's life
negatively, which at times it has. It would be churlish to say there's nothing
good about being famous; to have a total stranger walk up to you as you're walking
around Safeways, and say a number of nice things that they might say about your
work... I mean of course you walk on with a bit more spring in your step.
J.

The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never
dreamt I would be famous. You know, my fantasy of being a famous writer, and again
there's a slight disconnect with reality which happens a lot with me. I imagined
being a famous writer would be like being like Jane Austen.
