One of the hardest things for me now that I'm famous is finding people who can read my stuff and give me an honest critique.

There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers great actors great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that because I'm 24 I don't have a family I don't need to make tons of money and I'm not dying to get famous.

It struck me that working digitally with a small crew I could lay out a general plan for Famous and hope for mistakes which would create something more than satire and something less than truthful reality.

I'm learning as I go. I don't know everything. I never had anybody to look at nobody ever taught me and where I'm from I didn't have any famous role models.

Well yeah. At a certain point you've got to be really honest with yourself. Like 'Why am I doing this? What are my motivations?' Like if you get into it because you want to be famous? Then you've got a long row to hoe. But if you really feel like it's a labour of love and it's something you're actually legitimately good at then it's not that hard to keep plugging away.

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.

I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for doing. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend so it does get irritating.

When I was a kid the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was Oh yeah I'll get girls and be famous.

You don't have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. I'd like more people to know that it's there. Women's achievements still aren't recognised enough in many areas.

In fact I'd just like to own something. Everyone thinks I'm glamorous rich and famous but all I've got is some recording equipment and a battered old BMW.

I worked on scores. I went to the musical library in Berlin which is very famous. I discovered that we had scores of Beethoven printed scores of Beethoven that are full of mistakes. Not the wrong or false notes but the wrong dynamic understandable things.

But things move in circles: one minute it's the models who are famous then it's the actresses then it's the designers.

I guess the nicest thing about being I won't say famous but being popular is a more proper word for me to use would be that if you've got a recognizable name a lot of times you can get people to do things for you ordinarily that you wouldn't get done.

If you ever get rich and famous by definition you are special. You have done something special and therefore you start to behave special. Then if the floor drops out and you become down and out you have a really new perspective.

When you're a famous successful person at 16 years old the rules change for you. Everybody is doing things for you to make life easier so you can go out and play. And I think you miss out on lot of growing up and a lot of reality checks.

The famous saying 'God is love' it is generally assumed means that God is like our immediate emotional indulgence not that the meaning of love ought to have something of the 'otherness' and terror of God.

We're teaching young girls that this is what they should be focusing on: rich and famous girls who are rich and famous for nothing.

I don't do the whole 'Put my name on it make me famous' thing.

In opera as with any performing art to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course but you must also be famous. The two are different things.

The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.

I never feel so utterly fraudulent as when I review a movie whose charms impress all in the world and I simply do not get it. The other variant is that I love something the world disdains. This has had severe career consequences: I am still famous - or notorious - in certain quarters where I am recalled as the man who liked 'Hudson Hawk.'

I keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country because people do not think I have done anything for India.

I know there are people if I go into a market or a city for the first time there are people that are there that just want to see the famous person or the guy from 'Dumb and Dumber' or whatever movie they liked. And that's fine it gets them in the door but then it's my job to give them something different.

You know I'm a television personality. It's not like I'm a famous hooker or something!
