Quote examples
Roger Federer
Swiss Athlete
To handle that stardom, the red carpets, the photo shoots, people all of a sudden recognizing you and following you in everyday life, it's a bit weird. It's strange, and it can have funny effects on you in terms of do you like it or don't you like it. Some people run away from it, some people embrace it; I found a good middle ground.
Quote examples
Nigel Lythgoe
English Director
In my lifetime, I've discovered a great many incredibly talented individuals. Some have achieved stardom. Simultaneously, I've seen many dreams shattered, egos destroyed and lives changed forever. The end destination may well be fame and fortune, but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.
Quote examples
Morgan Freeman
American Actor
I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.
Quote examples
Yolanda Adams
American Musician
I was brought up by great parents and great grandparents who told me, 'Never, ever think that you're better than anyone else or that what you do is so important that the world won't miss you once you're gone,' and I kind of translate that into the stardom thing.
Quote examples
Joshua Sasse
British Actor
People want stardom or fame or whatever - instant gratification as opposed to learning one's craft, which, when I was starting out, was the most important thing: that you are as fully equipped for your job or your art as possible.
Quote examples
Nicolas Cage
Actor
As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.
Quote examples
Kiku Sharda
Indian Comedian
With due respect to women, I would like to say that people should not try to focus much on their outer beauty. We can only gain stardom when we are confident from inside.
Quote examples
Jay Hernandez
American Actor
We're not in high school anymore and we've had a little more life experiences to help us better understand what were going through in terms of stardom and recognition.
Quote examples
Hedy Lamarr
Austrian Actress
To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.

Indian Actor
I think stardom means a big responsibility that one has to shoulder.
