Fame is but the empty noise of madmen.

If fame is only to come after death, I am in no hurry for it.

I won’t be happy till I’m as famous as God.

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

I am sick and tired of publicity. I want no more of it. It puts me in a bad light. I just want to be forgotten.

Those who know the joys and miseries of celebrities when they have passed the age of forty know how to defend themselves.
