I think it allows you to get more lost in something and also to bring more attention to more unknown or less recognizable people. Tig Notaro

Once you become famous, people start talking about you, and there are a lot of responsibilities on your head. It’s good in a way but it’s also stressful. Tanishk Bagchi
Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they’re just regular people. Like Larry King. We’ve been friends for forty years. He’s one of the few guys I know who’s really famous.

One of the interesting things about Twitter is looking how famous people choose to use it.

Look at the news stand, you know? I mean, it’s a cacophony of famous people or people who want to be famous with blurbs all around it, and it’s supposed to be, you know, that’s supposed to be creativity in journalism. My God, it’s unbelievable. It’s shocking. George Lois
Major success feels a bit like a coronation. Like I’d become a king. I was one of the most famous people in the world, loved and hated in equal measure. I couldn’t see anything bad with it. It made me a happy person. Larry Hagman
Before I got famous, I was like a rake. When I was a teenager, I lived on nervous energy. And I always forgot to eat. It was not something I was obsessed with. And then suddenly I got famous, people started taking me out to fancy joints. And the pounds pile on. So I’m much more conscious now about when I eat. How I eat. What I eat. Boy George

With high fashion, it’s a performance. You’re trying to interpret a fantasy in a very physical way, and you really are playing a character.

Erin O’Connor
A voice is very intimate. It’s something of your own. So there’s always this fear, because you feel naked. There’s a fear of not reaching up to expectations.

I met a lot of famous people when I was about 24. And none of them seemed very appealing. And so I didn’t know why I would struggle to be that kind of person. Ethan Hawke
Famous people complain about fame, but they never want to give it back, myself included. Erica Jong

I follow the most random people on Twitter. I follow famous people like Khloe Kardashian, who surprisingly makes really funny tweets all the time. Chloe Grace Moretz

One of the top comments I get from people is, ‘Oh my God, you’re like a regular person!’ That’s kind of a bizarre thing to live with. I know a lot of famous people, and their lives may not be regular, but they are regular people. Kevin Bacon
We’re living in a time when the most famous people in the world have no specific skill set and are known for living their lives in front of the world. How strange is that? The appeal makes sense to me – it’s like ‘The Truman Show,’ getting a chance to peak into someone’s bedroom or see the way someone fights with their husband. Erin Foster
I get intimidated by famous people. When I’m around them and they look at me like I belong, I’m like, ‘Are you nuts? You’re freakin’ famous!’ Whether it’s Elmo or a Beatle or Vince Gill, it’s humbling to be in a room with these folks. Kristian Bush
When you become famous, people can have a powerful yet illusory idea of who you are. You want to live your life, but still, you don’t want to let anyone down. I know Ed Vedder, Kurt Cobain, Jerry Cantrell, all those guys felt it. They’re smart, real, and all of a sudden, they’re put on a pedestal. Ann Wilson
When famous people come up to you it’s a bit weird, but it’s an honour, really, when they recognise you and want to chat to you for a bit. Wayne Rooney
If you’re famous, you suck, just for being famous. People in England totally get that; Americans don’t. Trey Parker
I’ve noticed that once you leave London you do kind of become a bit more famous. People in London are a bit too cool for school. It’s not so unusual to see someone from London in the street. But outside of London people are a bit more excited to see you and come out and support you. David Walliams

I think ‘Cyrus’ has a lot of fat in it. It was a $7 million movie. If you’re going to make a movie with famous people, you don’t necessarily need to spend 7 million dollars. Make it for less than that, and you’ll be able to sell it and make a ton more than that, and everybody shares the profits. Mark Duplass
I’ve gotten books published. I’ve met famous people that are very nice. I look back and I say, ‘Wow. Thank you, God, for giving me this gift. And thank you for helping me to keep going.’ Mattie Stepanek

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
I get nervous around famous people. John Rzeznik
I’m so famous, people expect me to sell as many records as Celine Dion or Puff Daddy. Marilyn Manson
It can feel a bit surreal. Sometimes you’re talking to famous people and you think, ‘Oh gosh, I’m talking to Lewis Hamilton.’ Ellie Simmonds
I hear the way people talk about the children of famous people. They’re not treated very well. The presumptions are usually quite awful. So I tried to establish myself with a couple of movies. After ‘Juno’ I thought: ‘I think I’ve defined myself enough as my own director that I’d love to work with my father.’ Jason Reitman
Funny thing, as you become famous, people write less nice things about you. Katharine Ross
