This is what the Sabbath should feel like. A pause. Not just a minor pause, but a major pause. Not just lowering the volume, but a muting. As the famous rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel put it, the Sabbath is a sanctuary in time.
A. J. Jacobs

Who ever thought that the world-famous Captain Obvious was really mild-mannered Colin Mochrie?
Drew Carey
Image
I'm world-famous in West Bromwich.
Frank Skinner

My buildings are more famous than me.
Jean Nouvel
Image
I want to be successful, not famous.
George Harrison

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.
Stephen King

For inspiration I look to those great players who consistently found original ways to shock their opponents. None did this better than the eighth world champion, Mikhail Tal. The Magician of Riga rose to become champion in 1960 at age twenty-three and became famous for his aggressive, volatile play.
Garry Kasparov

After Skins I became mildly famous, which was a bit of a disaster.
Nicholas Hoult

At night, I love to look in the houses. When I was little, I did that much more, when I was so bored. It might be awful in those houses, of course, but I still speculate about them in a romantic way. It's the same if you are famous: you are in the light, and most people have fantasies about you, but these fantasies have nothing to do with reality.

You know what's the worst? Being a 16 year old girl who loves a famous Singer, not solely for his looks, but because you truly believe he is talented and devoted and you agree deeply with his message. Because no matter how intelligently and fully you can express that, people will assume you're just a silly teenager who thinks a famous guy is cute.
Anthony Kiedis
Image
I never wanted to be famous and the only part I like is that it means people are reading my books and listening to me on TV and radio.
Ann Coulter
Image
You do a job like mine because you love the job, not because it's going to make you famous.
Ray Winstone
Image
I bemoan the fact that all my famous friends have places in St. Bart's and I have to go to Montauk.
Rufus Wainwright
Image
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
Image
You look at boxing being an international, world-famous sport, right up there next with soccer, and there's only two fighters the people want to see fight. Two little fellows, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.
Emanuel Steward
Image
I really just think it's disgusting when people - to actually say that you want to be famous, it's just gross. There's nothing wrong with fame, but to seek out the spotlight just to be on TV for the sake of being on TV, and to put your children on there, I think, is especially disgusting.
Jon Glaser

There's so much, I guess I want to say, nonsense about show business now. Because of reality television. I don't get this, because I was never raised to get this, but I don't understand wanting to be famous. Maybe it's because I was born famous, but I don't get it.
Lorna Luft

When you're famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public.
Beyonce Knowles

I remember somebody saying something to me about Frost/Nixon, when Anthony Hopkins does his famous speech, and the difference in the way Anthony did it was to dramatize, essentially, what was a documentary-style version of that speech. I remember someone saying to me, There is artistic liberty.
Vanessa Kirby
Image
I literally was famous before I knew my own name.
Corey Feldman
Image
When people ask me which is your favourite portrait, they expect it to be Diana, or someone famous. But the answer is my dog, Puffy. They think I mean Puff Daddy. No, it is the dog.
Patrick Demarchelier
Image
I've never sat there and plotted out how I was going to become successful or famous.
Jennifer Aniston

TALLAHASSEE LASSIE was a record I wrote with my mom. A number of other famous groups have also recorded it such as Led Zeppelin (I understand they are currently touring) and several other English bands and also some various Punk Bands.
Freddy Cannon

You're not famous unless people's mothers know who you are. Everybody else, you think you're famous, but you're just hot, and heat cools off.
