In the realm of pop celebrity, the bar has been lowered so far that there is no bar. People can be famous for being famous, famous for being infamous, famous for having once been famous and, thanks largely to the Internet, famous for not being famous at all.

Tom Shales

I never enjoyed being famous.

Elaine Paige

It is said that a person who makes other people laugh has a lot of pain in his heart. On the contrary, I have thoroughly enjoyed being a comedian and don't nurse such thoughts.

Johnny Lever

I've enjoyed being a famous writer-except that every once in a while you have to write something.

Ken Kesey

The history of palaeontology is littered with examples of famous frauds and fakes, often with eminent researchers in the field being thoroughly hoodwinked by some fairly shoddy fabrications.

Alice Roberts

The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous. You know, my fantasy of being a famous writer, and again there's a slight disconnect with reality which happens a lot with me. I imagined being a famous writer would be like being like Jane Austen.

J. K. Rowling

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Aberdeen.

James Maddison

I thoroughly enjoyed working on 'Immortals.'

Joseph Morgan

What I found was that I thoroughly enjoyed the plumbing of experiment.

Burton Richter

Never have I enjoyed youth so thoroughly as I have in my old age

George Santayana

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.

Mick Jagger

You know, 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' was a great movie that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Simu Liu

I just left wishing that it was longer because I enjoyed it so thoroughly.

Jenny Slate

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job.
