Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian would have left little more than lipstick stains in their passing had it not been for the sex videos that lofted them into reality-TV notoriety. Once notoriety has warmed into familiarity, celebrity itself becomes one big 'Brady Bunch' reunion, or a therapy session with Dr. Drew.

James Wolcott

Stupidity fuses notoriety and celebrity.

Suzanne Fields

Not only do I have celebrity, but I have notoriety, which is sometimes more seductive.

Bess Myerson

To whatever degree you have as a celebrity or notoriety, there are people who see you as an opinion leader.

Eric Balfour

I don't want to work with anyone who has not sat down with me and has gotten to know me. I don't want you writing for who you think Jennifer is or the public persona of because that's not who I am. It's my shell, it's the brand, it's the celebrity, but it's not the person.

Jennifer Hudson

A lot of people mistake the persona that I create in poetry and fiction with me. A lot of people claim to know me who don't really know me. They know the work, or they know the persona in the work, and they confuse that with me, the writer. They don't realize that the persona is also a creation and a fabrication, a composite of my friends and myself all pasted together.

Sandra Cisneros

When I was a kid in San Diego, I would read fashion magazines and Interview magazine, and all of that really inspired me to create a persona. So by the time I moved to New York, in the early '80s, I'd learned how to create a persona, and I knew what my persona would be.

RuPaul

To me, there are two types of celebrity: there's good celebrity - people that are attracted to the food and working and trying to create something great - and then there's bad celebrity - those who are working on being a celebrity.

David Chang

I don't do celebrity endorsements. My work with Conservation International is a good use of whatever celebrity I might have to draw attention to important problems. I have the same responsibility as everyone to reduce consumption and to teach children to respect the environment.

Harrison Ford

I don't ever want it to be about me. A friend of mine told me, 'The difference between fame and notoriety is fame is when people know you, and notoriety is when people know your work.' The first one is not respectable, but the second one is, because that leaves a legacy.

Troy Baker

It was the old psychosomatic side-step. Everyone in my family dances it at every opportunity. You've given me a splitting headache! You've given me indigestion! You've given me crotch rot! You've given me auditory hallucinations! You've given me a heart attack! You've given me cancer!

Erica Jong

The entertainment person gets a certain credibility, and the politician gets a certain notoriety. I'm against it.

Robert Redford

I've always had this impression that notoriety came when you're trying to get notoriety.

Ariel Rechtshaid

As a celebrity, you get a certain number of free passes. You're actually in a better position if you're a celebrity because people care.

Joyce Brothers

People think of me as the blonde loud lairy one from Girls Aloud, but that's not me when I go home at the end of the night, that was a persona I was given in the band and I did play up to it quite a lot but that's not me 24/7.

Sarah Harding

From Iraq to Guantanamo Bay, international standards and the framework of international law are being given less when they should be given more importance. I am pleased that the courts in the United States are beginning to review what has happened to those detained in Guantanamo Bay. Similarly in Iraq we need to bring our strategies back within the framework of international norms and law.
