Fame

"Are you not ashamed of caring so much for the making of money and for fame and prestige, when you neither think nor care about wisdom and truth and the improvement of your soul?"

"There are the people who really, really enjoy being celebrities, and then there are the people who came by it maybe by accident."

"The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about."

"I had a lot of resistance, and not just to fame. I was always conscious of not changing."

"The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom."

"You can’t reverse fame. You can lose all the money, but you’ll never lose people knowing you."

"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."

"If I ever lose a role because of my tattoos, I'll quit Hollywood and go to work at Costco."

"So much has been given to me I have not time to ponder over that which has been denied."

"Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering."

"It’s better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all."

"Insult me all you want. Judge me as much as you want. Say what you think, everything you want. But one thing. Dont touch my fans."
