There are many more important things in life than fashion. But fashion, to me, is part of pop culture. And I'm an art collector. I'm obsessed with art and pop culture. And I say that there is fame, fashion, art, music and entertainment, including celebrity, that really moves the needle in society.
Tommy Hilfiger

Fame, like the river, is narrowest where it is bred, and broadest afar off.
William Davenant
Image
The difficulty is to know conscience from self-interest.
William Dean Howells
Image
I was always a bit reluctant with anything like fame and the limelight and it didn't sit very well with me, although I love singing and writing.
Alex Parks
Image
To me, the whole idea of fame and I think it can be a real test of somebody, of who they are. You know, 'cause some strange things happen. I've seen some peculiar things as far as a person just living their life.
Tobey Maguire
Image
Men in great place are thrice servants servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
John Locke
Image
Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets. We attempt nothing great but from a sense of the difficulties we have to encounter, we persevere in nothing great but from a pride in overcoming them.
William Hazlitt
Image
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
William Hazlitt
Image
The temple of fame stands upon the grave: the flame that burns upon its altars is kindled from the ashes of great men.
William Hazlitt
Image
The love of letters is the forlorn hope of the man of letters. His ruling passion is the love of fame.
William Hazlitt
Image
Popularity is neither fame nor greatness.
William Hazlitt
Image
I don't want to be a flash in the pan. I want to be around for a very long time. I want to be like a Sheryl Crow or a Melissa Etheridge or even a Madonna with how her career has lasted so long and she is still respected in the music business. That's really what I am aiming for. I'm not really looking for 15 minutes of fame.
Cheyenne Kimball
Image
To be world champion brings fame. The fame brings good things and bad things too. I try to take the good with calmness.
Sergio Martinez
Image
The Reagan-Bush years have exalted private gain over public obligation, special interests over the common good, wealth and fame over work and family. The 1980s ushered in a Gilded Age of greed and selfishness, of irresponsibility and excess, and of neglect.
William J. Clinton
Image
Marie Curie is, of all celebrated beings, the only one whom fame has not corrupted.
Albert Einstein
Image
One must choose between obscurity with efficiency, and fame with its inevitable collateral of bluff.
William McFee
Image
I've always been a bit repelled by Sunset Boulevard, which is wrong about almost everything it touches, whether it's fame, Hollywood, screenwriters, or old ladies. Sunset Boulevard would only make sense to me if it was about John Gilbert and the pool boy.
William Monahan
Image
And so the blasts of calumny, howl they ever so fiercely over the good man's head, contribute to his juster appreciation and to his wider fame. Preserve only a good conscience toward God, and a loving purpose toward your fellow men, and you need not wince nor tremble, though the pack of the spaniel-hearted hounds snarl at your heels.
William Morley Punshon
Image
The rest were vulgar deaths unknown to fame.
Homer
Image
To be famous, in fact, one has only to kill one's landlady.
Albert Camus
Image
Many people who gain recognition and fame shape their lives by overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles, only to be catapulted into new social realities over which they have less control and manage badly. Indeed, the annals of the famous and infamous are strewn with individuals who were both architects and victims of their life courses.
Albert Bandura
Image
I don't know if fame will come.
Jessie Ware
Image
If I have taken part in anything perceived as the fame machine, it's been my choice. My motivations certainly have been different from some people's that I've worked with. But it's okay to work equally passionately for two different reasons.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.
