Once you start telling people you're famous, they believe you.

The one thing you've got to say about Columbia is that it has courses that are famous. It has alumni who come back and say it was the best thing they ever did.

They were all famous and fantastic fellows.

I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say.

I don't really see myself as famous.

When I wasn't famous, I had a lot of friends, almost all of them Italian. The racism only started when I started to play football.

It was I who made Fellini famous, not the other way around.

My buildings are more famous than me.

I mean he's a very famous director... they're not going to put their... and he's very tough, he doesn't like interference at all, so he kept them at bay.

It isn't false modesty when I say this, but although I am supposed to be a famous person it doesn't mean anything to me. I just sit at home and work.
