You have to become famous before you can secure the attention which would give fame.

Such is the universal desire for fame that those who achieve it accidentally or unwillingly will wait in vain for pity.

Creo que todo el mundo debería hacerse rico y famoso y conseguir lo que siempre ha soñado para darse cuenta de que no es la solución

we would all like to be taken for what we would like to be

On n'est pas libre tant qu'on désire, qu'on veut, qu'on craint, peut-être tant qu'on vit.

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

"Author says he suffered from both "a craving to be famous" and "a horror of being known to like being known.

We try to make our celebrities stand in for the heroes we no longer have, or for those who have been pushed out of our view... Yet the celebrity is usually nothing greater than a more-publicized version of us. In imitating him, in trying to dress like him, talk like him, look like him, think like him, we are simply imitating ourselves.

When we attempt to control people and things that we have no business controlling, we are controlled.

The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know.

We fear rejection, want attention, crave affection and dream of perfection.

We even make ourselves up, fusing what we are with what we wish into what we must become. I'm not sure why it must be so, but it is.

I want to be famous but unknown!

They're hungry for something they know nothing about, but we, we know all too well that the price of fame is the loss of privacy.
