Fame Quotes

Sometimes the presence of a camera is like opening a door, because many people want what Andy Warhol called 15 minutes of fame. But prostitutes don’t want that Picture Quote #1

Fame is a devil; obscurity is an Angel! Stay away from me, Devil; Come near to me, Angel! Picture Quote #1

I have an ambition to write a great book, but that’s really a competition with myself. I’ve noticed that a lot of young writers, people in all media, want to be famous but they don’t really want to do anything. I can’t think of anything less worth striving for than fame Picture Quote #1

When we run out of them upstairs, I’ve been known to appropriate some from our greenroom, pocketing a few with one hand as I smile and greet our guests with the other. One time, Dave Zinczenko of ‘Eat this, Not That!’ fame, busted me in the act. The cookies apparently fall in the ‘not that’ category. I made a note of it Picture Quote #1

People always ask me why I still want to play, but I want to know why no one will give me an opportunity. It’s like they put a stamp on me: ‘Hall of Fame. You’re done. That’s it.’ Picture Quote #1

Just in time for Bob Dylan to recoil from the attention, leave the city for Woodstock, and turn his back on fame Picture Quote #1

Fame infantilises and grants relative impunity. Those that seek it, out of an exaggerated need for admiration or attention, are often the least well equipped to deal with criticism Picture Quote #1

Obviously there’s something very seductive about movies, which can be attractive in a bad way if you’re doing them for the wrong reasons - for money, or for fame Picture Quote #1

What surprised me most about fame is how unpleasant it can be. I used to think it was going to be so fun. I got excited about the parties. You don’t anticipate friends being jealous of you and critics giving your music bad reviews. Media and rumors - that stuff hurts Picture Quote #1

Fame is a funny thing. I like doing normal things. I like going to fairs. I like going to ball games. I like going to Disney World or a big field on the Fourth of July and having picnics with friends. The problem is you’re either worried you’re going to be recognized, or you’re thankful you’re not. It’s always there Picture Quote #1

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke - the fact that Madonna is in before Rush and Kiss. Those two bands have influenced so many groups and people other than in metal Picture Quote #1

When I was a little boy, I didn’t know what the Hall of Fame was. I was just playing the game of baseball, and I wanted to be just like my dad Picture Quote #1

I’m not defined by baseball. I’d love for the Hall of Fame to happen, but if it doesn’t, my life won’t change. I’ll still be coaching my boy’s games Picture Quote #1

Cape Cod baseball dates back to the time of the Civil War. A poster at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown touts a round-trip train ride from Hyannis to Sandwich on July 4, 1885 - the occasion of the 14th annual baseball game between Sandwich and Barnstable Picture Quote #1

When I came into baseball, I had one goal for my career - the Hall of Fame Picture Quote #1

Looking back on those days and little leaguer, the Hall of Fame is not even a blinking star, but through baseball travels and moving up the ladder, that star begins to flicker Picture Quote #1

I want to be part of Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame, but I don’t want to be part of the kind of Hall of Fame that’s based on voters’ beliefs and assumptions Picture Quote #1

Making the Hall of Fame, would it be something that’s gratifying because of what I’ve sacrificed? Sure. Baseball has been a big part of our lives. We’ve sacrificed our bodies. It’s the way we made our living Picture Quote #1

Humbled by the fact that never in a million years would I ever thought that I would be on the same stage with all these great Hall of Famers and enshrined to the National Baseball Hall of Fame Picture Quote #1

When I started playing the game of baseball, the more I played and the better numbers I got, the more I started thinking about the Hall of Fame. But I never thought I had a chance to be there Picture Quote #1

Marlins Park is what I call my office in Miami, because I work for the Venezuelan Museum of Baseball and Hall of Fame. My job is to go to all the MLB stadiums and to talk to and collect articles from all the Venezuelan players in the big leagues and those Americans that played in Venezuela Picture Quote #1

I really want to have a possibility of going into the Hall of Fame one day. I think that’s huge with a lot of baseball writers and old school guys.

I want to be as clean as I can Picture Quote #1

Foreign policy is like hitting a baseball: if you fail 70 percent of the time, you go to the Hall of Fame Picture Quote #1

Fame is fleeting, and you can’t get caught up in it. Signing autographs, taking pictures, and being nice to people is a small price to pay for the upside that comes with this Picture Quote #1

You get people who come to London, sever links with where they come from, and then when they need people, there’s nobody there. To feel like you can’t go back home would be a horribly sad place to be, as is mistaking fame for genuine love and affection Picture Quote #1

It’s very easy to be cynical about the hall of fame. But on the other hand, it’s really a beautiful thing for someone like me. I dedicated my entire life to this music Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a great family and a beautiful house. I feel very lucky as far as my lifestyle is concerned. I’m not really interested in fame and all its trappings Picture Quote #1
