Fame is no sanctuary from the passing of youth. Suicide is much easier and more acceptable in Hollywood than growing old gracefully.

I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.

Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, now that, and changes names as it changes in direction.

Fame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experienced, but that’s not where I live.

There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.

What a heavy burden is a name that has become too famous.
