I never cease to be amazed why some of my friends became famous and others, just as talented, didn't. I've come to suspect it's a matter of wanting fame or not, and those who don't want it, don't get it.
Malcolm Cowley

Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work. I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it'll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.
Kevin Hart

Call the roll in your memory of conspicuously successful [business] giants and, if you know anything about their careers, you will be struck by the fact that almost every one of them encountered inordinate difficulties sufficient to crush all but the gamest of spirits.

I don't really know a lot of famous people. I've met a lot of famous people. If I ran into Tom Hanks today, I would have to remind him who I was and he would then remember me. But he wouldn't come up to me and say, 'Hi Dave!'
David Zucker

There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers, great actors, great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that, because I'm 24, I don't have a family, I don't need to make tons of money, and I'm not dying to get famous.

Actually, you’re not famous at all. Maybe you’ll get some traction after you’re dead?
Peter Orner

Maybe it goes without saying that if you want to become a famous writer before you’re dead, you’ll have to write something. But the folks in my classes with the biggest ideas and the best publicity shots ready to grace the back covers of their best-selling novels are also usually the ones who aren’t holding any paper.

Some of what makes growing up hard for famous kids is that they don't have room to do immature stuff. I was really happy that I could go to school and hang out behind the alley and be somewhat irresponsible.

Leonardo da Vinci was a man of regal spirit and tremendous breadth of mind and his name became so famous that not only was he esteemed during his lifetime, but his reputation endured and became even greater after his death.
Giorgio Vasari

I've enjoyed being a famous writer-except that every once in a while you have to write something.
Ken Kesey
Image
In New York, after that famous home run, they expected me to be up there every year. That homer raised me to a high level, with the top guys in the game.

If you want to be famous, you must do something more badly than anybody in the entire world.

I had to do this very aggressive, big score in a very short time, and knowing that in the beginning, middle, and end would be this very, very famous theme, but I still had to weave a score around it and make it work as a score was really challenging.
Danny Elfman

People think that being famous is just about having your picture taken all the time and being rich rich rich, and you know what?... They're absolutely right.

Our marriage is like anybody's marriage, It goes through ups and downs. It's a little garden that you have to tend all the time. When we're home, it's not like we walk around all dolled up going, We are celebrities! We are famous! I change diapers. I clean up dog doo.
Bruce Willis

Photography is painting with light! The blurs, the spots, those are errors! But the errors are part of it, they give it poetry and turn it into painting. And for that you need as bad a camera as possible! If you want to be famous, you have to do whatever you're doing worse than anyone else in the whole world.
Miroslav Tichy
Image
For one year, I want to do this thing where I guest-star on as many television shows as I possibly can. I love television. The fact that television ultimately made me famous was very gratifying for me.
Dave Chappelle
Image

Jenna Fischer
Image
There are some quite funny things about getting famous and stuff, but I think there comes a point where you have to think to yourself, Well, am I doing this because I want to go to a party and meet Britney Spears? Or am I doing it because I want to create something that excites me?
Jarvis Cocker
