“In general they are intoxicated by the fame of mass culture, a fame which the latter knows how to manipulate; they could just as well get together in clubs for worshipping film stars or for collecting autographs. What is important to them is the sense of belonging as such, identification, without paying particular attention to its content. As girls, they have trained themselves to faint upon hearing the voice of a 'crooner'. Their applause, cued in by a light-signal, is transmitted directly on the popular radio programmes they are permitted to attend. They call themselves 'jitter-bugs', bugs which carry out reflex movements, performers of their own ecstasy. Merely to be carried away by anything at all, to have something of their own, compensates for their impoverished and barren existence. The gesture of adolescence, which raves for this or that on one day with the ever-present possibility of damning it as idiocy on the next, is now socialized.”

“Fame is what gets people to go watch your film. I'm just glad to be in a film i believe in. And if it take's fame to get people there, then it's my job. But i'd rather be a ghost writer than have my name down.”

“I don´t feel famous, I am the same as a waiter or anybody that works in the club, there are people with fame and money but no feelings, and thats what´s important.”

“Choose respect over fame every time. Fame is just attention. Respect is an attribute of love.”

“Don’t get into acting for fame, because there is a lot of rejection and it is not for the faint of heart. Do it for the craft and because you cannot live without acting.”

“Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.”

“Posthumous fame, book fame, nerd fame is not like the good kind of fame. It might last for centuries and let antique egg heads torture the young from the grave, but it just doesn't pay the bills.”

“… art is made by the alone for the alone… The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication…”

“How much does the fame of human actions depend upon the station of those who perform them!”
Quam multum interest quid a quoque fiat!

“Up to now sculptors have preferred the mass and neglected or paid little attention to such an important component of mass as space.... we consider it as an absolute sculptural element. I do not hesitate to affirm that the perception of space is a primary natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our psychology”
