Look at Gleason in The Honeymooners. He was humorous but the way he lived wasn't really humorous. He was a bus driver. Who wants to be a bus driver? He didn't have any money and he was not famous. But despite that, the show is humorous.

No matter how famous and established they were or however blessed they were with great songs or long careers, if they lived alone, they lived alone. That's not the way I wanted to live prior to the tour or after.

I've never had a desire to be famous. Lots of actors are actually extremely shy. I have shy areas.

Its only when you are a great actor and are recognised for your good work that you become famous. Unless you are in the news for the wrong reasons!

I am super-proud to have a sort of famous character in my background that if you're a certain age, he was probably a part of your youth. I think that's pretty cool.

Many medal winners dream of competing in a sport other than the one they're famous for.

I had one fight in my adult life. I had the famous '89 fight with Nicole, which she admits that she initiated the physical part.

For somebody famous, it's weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

But just playing the partner of someone famous, I had a lot more freedom.
