Would you want to be famous?

[Todash]

Simple question. Lots of people want fame; do you? I don't, personally. To me, watching a famous person be thronged by admirers is a little like watching someone being eaten alive by a mob. I bet it feels like that, too.

[Oogway]

Nop!! I totally agree!

Hi,

Most definitely not, I've seen the trappings of fame eff up many people's heads.

Long days and pleasant nights

No way. I nearly had a breakdown before my wedding as I was freaked about being scrutinised by all. I was only a very small ceramony with informal drinks afterwards but I was a wreck. I really value my privacy.

Fame is not something someone should want, although, many still want it. Everyone should just be themselves and do what makes them happy. From that, if you decide to become a master of the acting craft, or a writer or any other profession that is constantly observed by the media then you will become 'famous'.

So for me personally, I want make movies and write stories. That's my passion and I cannot see myself attempting to do anything else. I've tried and any other path I've taken I approached it half-assed without any true passion for it and that is worst than death.

So once you're doing what you love and if the world seems to love what you're doing as well then you become famous. Now there are many levels of fame. We have Brittany fame and then there's SK fame. Two different types of fame yet one is more tolerable than the other, in my opinion.

I'd rather live forever. (not physically).

[Srbo]

No.

As far as fame goes, I only want to be a good husband to my wife and a good father to my kid, actually I want to be so good to them that they consider me famous.

That would be all I`m looking for.

[sam peebles]

No, not famous. Wealthy? Why, yes, I think I could go for that.

[LadyPain]

I'd said yes, because I'd like a small enough amount of fame to be able to sell my art for what I think it is actually worth, and not what I think people might be willing to pay for it. That's the only reason. I'd rather be one of the normal celebrities, kind of like 'No-Ego Viggo' (Mortensen). I wouldn't want to pull a Brittany or a Paris. That's just plain creepy.

[PatInTheHat]

Well now that would all depend on what for wouldn't it?
I could probably prattle off the top of my pointy head (it's not really pointy...more punkin' shaped with a slope in the front), a couple hundred things I wouldn't want to be famous for.

But I'll tell ya somethin', it sure wouldn't hurt my feelings too awful much, to be a little famous for one of my sauces, soups, or some such incredible edible.
Signature dish fame means you may be getting paid pretty regular, and lawd yes how I sure do love being regular!

Now that ain't rock star, best selling author, brain transplant surgeon, or matinee idol kinda famous, but then I don't know how to do all that stuff anyway, so what do I care.
