If somebody for some reason, for music or for movie, becomes famous, it's because they have something, something special.
Starting off in music, the purpose of it was not to become like well known on the street and be famous. You know, I didn't even think about that part of being famous. Famous for making records, yes, but famous face in a woman's magazine, I never thought of that. I didn't want that.
No matter how famous you are, there's always somebody more famous than you.

I think people should be protected from being made to feel that they want to know what somebody famous had for breakfast.
The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a sh*t.
Be a famous musician. Be a famous act or. Be a famous write r. Be a famous basketball player. Be famous.
I'm right on the edge of getting another movie. It's between me and a famous person. The studio said they're thinking about going with somebody with a name. I said, 'That's great! Because I have one!'
