    Default I Wouldn't Want To Be Very Famous

    If I had a choice, I'd like to be a minor celebrity. However, to be wildly famous is something that I don't think is for me. You can't even walk down the street without people coming up to asking for autographs if you are super-popular. I like to have privacy.

    I have a funny feeling that I'm in the minority about this. But that's what I think.

    Don't think you're too much in the minority, my roommate is the same way, he's very much an introvert.
    most people who want to be famous are extroverts, and the ones who want to be famous with no real talent are just obnoxious
    I would love to be famous, as a rapper or an actor. It's about actually following that passion thats got me hobbled

    I wouldn't mind being famous through something I've done - I want to write a book, and authors generally don't get superstar famous unless they're very, very good, or very controversial.


    Definitely wouldn't want to be 'famous' as in Kim Kardashian or Jade Goody. I'd hate to be scrutinised like that.

    I could not stand being famous. I hate being the center of attention; I couldn't handle never having any privacy, people going through my RUBBISH, not to mention the constant rumours and scrutinization. No thank you, not for me at all.

    One positive aspect about being a famous actor is that if you find that you don't like the fame, you can usually get out of the public limelight fairly quickly by ending your career as an actor and moving on to a career which won't keep you famous.

    I wouldn't mind being rich, but being famous? I'll pass.

    Actors who suddenly become successful often find it to be intimidating when all of a sudden they're famous. It's intimidating to have people come up to you a lot and ask for your autograph and try to talk with you.

    Not me. It's hard enough to know who your real friends are. Add fame to the mix and well...

    Pretty sure if I was very famous I could afford to buy a huge mansion in many acres of land, build a big wall around it, fill it with everything I could desire and have all the privacy I want.
