If you wanna be famous, then it’s okay if the music is fake because fame isn’t real.
Josh Homme
With fame, you can’t trust everybody. You can’t depend on them being there for you as a person. They will only be there because of what you’ve got you as a person. They will only be there because of what you’ve got and what you can bring to their life. It’s not a relationship-it’s a leech.
Chris Brown

Fame is indeed beautiful and benign and gentle and satisfying, but happiness is something at once tender and brilliant beyond all things.
Mary MacLane
There’s a funny thing about fame. The truth is you run as fast as you can towards it because it’s everything you want. Not just the fame but what it represents, meaning work, meaning opportunity. And then you get there, and it’s shocking how immediately you become enveloped in this world that is incredibly restricting.
George Clooney

Aaron Rodgers

Juliette Lewis
Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives.

The highest form of vanity is a love of fame.
