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 famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the earth because I figure a) They pay my salary and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say 'Just come on up.'

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.

I worked at a hot dog place a bagel place the Jersey Store and the hottest fashion joint around. I was getting too famous to work there anymore. I was almost showing up as a joke. I made $2 000 on my show the previous night and I'm going to go shopping during my five-hour shift.

I think it's real easy to be famous these days it's not real easy to sustain success.

You'll know if you're a famous composer if 20 years from now your name appears on a pull-down menu in Band in a Box alongside Hans Zimmer.

I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.

I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts people who want to be famous for no reason.

Being rich and famous isn't all happiness and at times the pressures have got to me.

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.
