Reality is always the foe of famous names.

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

Being a star has made it possible for me to get insulted in places where the average Negro could never hope to go and get insulted.

What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.

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

Men are generally more pleased with a widespread than with a great reputation.
