If I wanted to be famous, I could have been famous before.

I did try to leave, and she came running after me.

It was a real rough year and a half. I was getting 80 shots every four weeks.

But I thought love would more than prevail.

And I told her point blank, you've got everything to live for. You've got such talent. You're back singing great, lose the weight. And she went and did it, and look at her now!

Yeah, she was hitting me hard. She was drunk and she was hitting me hard.

No, but Liza took went and took away from me, possibly my livelihood.

I don't have to announce all the women I've slept with.

She put her hands around the neck of our production manager, and you know, started to choke him.

If you're a man, you don't have to worry about your manliness.

She was making great money at personal appearances.

I never had migraines. Never had migraines.

I knew I couldn't solve it. Because I couldn't figure out what made her drink when things were going well.

Because I would give it all back to have my health.

No one should have to live like that when they've done only good things for the person.

I can help a lot of other people who've gone through the same thing by building a center that will help men and women who don't have the funds to take care of themselves and get the medical treatment.

She just kept hitting me in the head with her fists, over, and over and over.

She got the magazine on a Wednesday morning, and on Thursday announced our marriage was over.

And she could never give me an answer. And I realized that, you know, I had a problem on my hands.

On stage, don't go near her. She's the best performer in the world.

It looks like I'm this huge shark going in for the kill... I don't know what I was thinking.

But when alcohol comes in, start running. Because there's a demon there, and it goes back to her childhood.

I'm into women. I've always loved women.

I was already set for life when I met her.

I'm really excited that I'm able to work again.

I was naive enough to think that I could make the difference.

But she told me she was never going to drink again.

If I wanted to be famous, I could have been famous before.

She'd hit me before but never over and over and over and over into the head.

Liza, I love you more than any words can say. You have made me a complete person. You are everything to me. And I cannot think of living life without you. And I love you forever.

She bit my bodyguard. She bit him in the stomach.

I know he was definitely beaten by her. I saw it many times. But we had a different way of dealing with her. He'd let her have more and more booze until she passed out.

I didn't really feel I was being hurt, but you could feel it.

And Michael likes to read a lot. People don't realize that about him but he reads a number of books per week and he's fascinated just about every subject.

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

The real harm of term extension comes not from these famous works. The real harm is to the works that are not famous, not commercially exploited, and no longer available as a result.

I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.

The people I want are very famous and very rich, and all I can offer them is a bit of exposure on TV and a bit of cash, so it's a miracle we get any guests at all. But we have been very lucky.

When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.

I don't want to be famous famous. I'm happy on the second tier, where I have autonomy on a professional level but I can still go out to the movies without being recognized.

To be famous and broke is hard.

Oh yeah, I was one of the first guys writing comic books, I wrote Captain America, with guys like Stan Lee, who became famous later on with Marvel Comics.

I fear that, in the end, the famous debate among materialists, idealists, and dualists amounts to a merely verbal dispute that is more a matter for the linguist than for the speculative philosopher.

Well I would say that we're regular people first of all and we're normal and it's obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we're not immune to tragedy.

People are much more inclined to believe and say bad things about you if you're famous.

I don't want to be famous as a movie star and have the whole world love me, I want to be a creative actress.

I like photographing the people I love, the people I admire, the famous, and especially the infamous. My last infamous subject was the extreme right wing French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.

Those who have known the famous are publicly debriefed of their memories, knowing as their own dusk falls that they will only be remembered for remembering someone else.

People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius.
