People feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you, of any kind of nature — and it won't hurt your feelings — like it's happening to your clothing.
It stirs up envy, fame does. People...feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you--and it won't hurt your feelings--like it's happening to your clothing.
It stirs up envy, fame does.
Fame to me certainly is only a temporary and a partial happiness ... fame is not really for a daily diet, that's not what fulfills you. It warms you a bit but the warming is temporary. It's like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have to have it every meal and every day.
You can read about yourself but what's important is how you feel about yourself.
Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.
Fame may go by and - so long, I've had you.
Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.
I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated.
I've been on a calendar, but never on time.
Say good-bye to Pat, say good-bye to Jack and say good-bye to yourself, because you're a nice guy.

Even though I was born there, I still can't think of one good thing to say about it. If I close my eyes, and picture LA, all I see is one big varicose vein.
Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I'm just a girl who wishes for the world.
