It's not that I'm not grateful for all this attention. It's just that fame and fortune ought to add up to more than fame and fortune.

Robert Fulghum

Fame and fortune should never get in front of your passion. The passion will generate the fame and fortune, if you're good enough.

Max Walker

You realise fame is something that if you court it too much or if you indulge in it too much, it will have a negative effect ultimately on your mental health and self esteem, because fame is ultimately about achieving positive self esteem through external factors, and that's a losing game, I would say.

Robert Sheehan

I still care about people but it would be so much easier not to care. I don't want to get too close; I don't like to touch things.

Andy Warhol

We care too much about what happens to be there as a result of history. I worry even more that we care too much for the past and not enough for the present and the near present.

Nicholas Serota

I'm getting older, and it happens. You don't care as much. I don't care about too much anymore. I've got to think about that a little bit.

Adam Sandler

Virtue has her heroes too As well as Fame and Fortune.

Friedrich Schiller

To put it simply - you know, a lot of people believe that the benefit of this job is fame and fortune. I believe that you pay for the fortune through the fame. I don't buy into the notion that being famous is somehow a good thing, or an exciting thing, or a wonderful thing.

Evangeline Lilly

I don't have to worry about what people are thinking and what's going on in the industry. I don't want that stuff to influence what I'm doing. Because I think it stifles you creatively. I don't want to have to care too much about that. All I care about is what the fans think. It's really all I care about, honestly.

Shania Twain

No, liberty is not made for us: we are too ignorant, too vain, too presumptious, too cowardly, too vile, too corrupt, too attached to rest and to pleasure, too much slaves to fortune to ever know the true price of liberty. We boast of being free! To show how much we have become slaves, it is enough just to cast a glance on the capital and examine the morals of its inhabitants.

Jean-Paul Marat

I care. I care about it all. It takes too much energy not to care.

Lorraine Hansberry

Places like New York are just too intense, too much about money, too much about ambition; it's all too superficial for me.

Carmen Kass

Most everything I do on a creative level is beyond the fame and money. I sort of work as an actor... and take care of my family and mouths to feed and all of that. I don't really care about fame, but our business means money sometimes and financial success, which I can pass on to my family.
