I don't give a toss about famous people's fame, it sounds trite but it's what they're like as people that counts and fame turns many of them into bell-ends they would otherwise not have been.
Though someone famous said something along the lines of "beware fame, it will bring the real you out - whatever you spend your life hiding will be hidden no more". Something like that.
My favourite line about fame is from A Bout De Souffle, where there's an interview going on with a pretentious film director (played nice and tongue-in-cheek by Jean Pierre Melville, a great film director).
What is your ambition?
To become immortal, then die.
