I am definitely not sitting down with Jason Whitlock because I don't think he is willing to learn. He is fat and 50. There ain't no changing the mind of a fat, 50-year-old person.

Charlamagne tha God

I never had a desire to be famous... I was fat. I didn't know any fat famous actresses... You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else. And I still sort of have that.

Kate Winslet

It was never a goal of mine to become famous. So, I never projected any goals associated with that. But I did have a bunch of goals I wanted to achieve when I was financially able to do so, but they had nothing to do with fame. When I set goals, they're more tangible than becoming famous. You don't build a company or a foundation for fame.

Boris Kodjoe

I spent the first 50 years of my life being the son of a famous father and am now spending the last 50 as the father of famous children.

Jack Hemingway

My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame.

Joel McHale

[The career a young man should choose should be] one that is most consonant with our dignity, one that is based on ideas of whose truth we are wholly convinced, one that offers us largest scope in working for humanity and approaching that general goal towards which each profession offers only one of the means: the goal of perfection ... If he works only for himself he can become a famous scholar, a great sage, an excellent imaginative writer [ Dichter ], but never a perfected, a truly great man.

Karl Marx

I grew up a fat kid in a small town in Minnesota who was a tomboy and happened to play a mean violin. My goal was to be a famous concert artist some day.

Gretchen Carlson

There are, of course, fat characters in books out there, some of them quite enduring and famous. But they tend to be creatures of young-adult or commercial fiction.

Michelle Dean

When I started my blog, it was really this one goal - I said, 'I am not going to be famous to the world, but I could be famous to people on the Internet.' And I set a goal. I said, 'I'm going to win an award,' because I had never won an award in my entire life.

Mena Grabowski Trott

I've always been a big guy, whether it's been a fat kid, a fat young adult, or a fat adult. I was always sort of... I guess the term would be 'popular.' I never dealt with a lot of name-calling or any of the bullying you'd think a fat kid might have to deal with.

Jim O'Heir

People have heard my music, but all my famous songs were made famous by somebody else... But that was my goal.

J. J. Cale

Since I was four, my goal was to be a famous singer and a famous actor.

Anthony Gonzalez

I played soccer all my life and I used to think growing up that they put the fat kid in goal or they put the kid that wasn't good with the ball at their feet in goal and I never wanted to do goalkeeper, I was always the goal scorer.

Hope Solo

I'm so much more famous than I am financially successful.

Roseanne Barr

For the first 50 years of your life the food industry is trying to make you fat. Then, the second 50 years, the pharmaceutical industry is treating you for everything.

Pierre Dukan

But if the choice is a cool president and 8 or 10 percent unemployment in a declining economy and a country that seems to be going in the wrong direction and structural unemployment for young people at 50 percent, I'd rather have a dorky president who fixed those problems.

Jonah Goldberg
