Now we believe that the majority of teachers in America know our system must be reformed to put students first so that America can compete that teachers don't teach to become rich or famous. They teach because they love children.

Just because you're not famous doesn't mean you're not good.

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.

I lost some of my friends because I got so famous people who just assumed that I would be different now. I felt like everyone hated me. That is the most unhappy time of my life.

I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.

I became famous I think really because of the interpretation of other people's songs way back when and that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm a lazy bugger.

Famous people come up to me but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.

I can't advise any of the young ones because I don't know what their background was but I would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a real problem.

Because you know when you first become famous you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.

I don't mean being famous is a perk because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like I don't know general friendliness and willingness to please just to point out two.
