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

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

Well I've always said that fame and fortune - the two things that one seems to go after when they go into show business was not at all what it was cracked up to be as far as I was concerned. I found fame to be somewhat of a prison. The more famous you were, the smaller the cell that you had to live in.

Dave Madden

A gimmick would be something you'd do to attract attention or to bring fame and fortune.

Mark Kozelek

Nothing will stifle your human evolution more than fame and fortune.

Patti Smith

That equals to being a fool, having fame and no fortune. A lot of guys out there have fame doing this and doing that, but they are broke.

Mike Tyson

Fame is a skittish jade, more fickle even than Fortune, and apt to shy, and bolt, and plunge away on very trifling causes.

Anthony Trollope

Taking the way that opens, even if it seems hardly more than a footpath, not infrequently leads to the highways of heart's desire, if not to fame and fortune.

Frances Parkinson Keyes

Being a star comes with not just fame and fortune, but with awareness and responsibility.

Joanna Krupa

With a modest amount of looks and talent, and more than a modicum of serendipity, I've managed to stretch my 15 minutes of fame into 50 years of good fortune.
