Nicholas Haslam Quotes

I don't think fame is that important to me.

Nobody sane wants just to be famous.

One of the top comments I get from people is, 'Oh my God, you're like a regular person!' That's kind of a bizarre thing to live with. I know a lot of famous people, and their lives may not be regular, but they are regular people.

I like having friends that are famous, and I think they are the most interesting people that I know.

I don't care about being famous.

Fame has never been high on my agenda.

The weird thing is I have now met quite a lot of people who are really famous but they are always disappointingly normal and nice. Alan Carr is very nice indeed. Exactly how you would expect him to be, and not that different from how he is on stage.

I didn't get recognized a whole lot at first, but all of a sudden it just started happening. People would look at me out of the corner of their eye, deciding whether or not they were going to come up to me!

I really don't see myself as a star.

I certainly don't consider myself famous.

My star will probably continue to rise, and I will start hanging out with Beyonce and Jay-Z and take them to a Toby Carvery.

People like to gossip about people who are successful.

Fame just ain't a natural situation. But I shouldn't have worried because everyone thought I was a bit famous even before I'd done anything; people just assumed I was famous.

I rarely get recognised. Almost never.

I can't come to terms with stardom or see myself as a star.

It's one of the best parts of being on the 'Real Housewives' and why I love it: getting to talk to so many great people.

I don't go to events to have my picture taken. I don't really care if my name is mentioned on a blog. It's not my thing.

When you become successful, half the population puts you on a pedestal, and half the population treats you with less respect than you would have got if you were collecting their bins.

When I came back to New York, it was such a joke because I was always referred to as the pure young poet who wasn't in it for what he could get out of it. And all of a sudden, the pure young poet comes back... and I'm hanging out with the Rolling Stones.

Wiz is a cool guy, humble guy, down to Earth guy. You would really think he was just a regular guy if you didn't know who he was. But he still has a superstar aura about him.

My privilege as a celebrity doesn't disallow me pain.

When I first started to blow up, everybody thought I was rich. Everybody started asking for stuff. My friends started becoming fans. Even my teachers began to act like fans.

Celebrity is quite a fraught word. It is not something I aspire to, but I can certainly see why it could be.

The fact that I had attained stardom never affected me too much.

Once you attain stardom, you lose that finer touch with society. When you are a man on the street, you get to know every vibration. But once you attain this status, more than you, people become self-conscious by your presence.
