I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.

Don't worry about writing a book or getting famous or making money. Just lead an interesting life.

I walk the streets, take the train, it's real simple. Some actors create their own mythology: 'Oh, I'm so famous I can't go places, because I created this mythology that I'm so famous I can't go places.'

My wife Elizabeth and I started The Really Terrible Orchestra for people like us who are pretty hopeless musicians who would like to play in an orchestra. It has been a great success. We give performances we've become the most famous bad orchestra in the world.

The records of adopted children are sealed in California. That seal is considered inviolable... The judge ruled that, because I was famous, he didn't have the same rights as other kids.

People are much more inclined to believe and say bad things about you if you're famous.

I never wanted to do biography just to tell the life of a famous man. I always wanted to use the life of a man to examine political power, because democracy shapes our lives.

I could have been more famous if I did all the glitzy things, but celebrity always seemed so unnecessary.

I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.

Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
