I've always been famous, it's just no one knew it yet.

That is why he took so many hundreds of years to be known.

Fame for me is not external, it’s internal. So I’ve been famous for a long time.

I want to be famous but unknown!

I'm as famous as I want to be.

I was lucky in that I was introduced to fame very-- in a very slow, incremental way.

I'm a better actor now than I ever was, I wish I could have hurried that up, but there's no way. Anyway, I always wanted to be around for a long time. Like a European actor, I hope I live a long time and that I'm acting until I finish.

I should like to be famous and unknown.

It's taken me 30 years to get this way, and I don't intend to let go. I work hard, but I play hard, too, and that's the one part of me that nobody sees. But I intend to be around for a long time yet.

I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have... the wait was worth it.

And there I sat, long long ago, waiting for the world to know me.

I Think if I wanted to be famous, I would be working hard at doing that -- I am kind of working hard at not doing that.

It's great to be here. I thank you. Ah, I've been on the road doing comedy for ten years now, so bear with me while I plaster on a fake smile and plough through this shit one more time.

It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.
