David Prowse Quotes

The day I say I'm famous is the day I sound like a fanny.

I've had a lot of accolades throughout my career, but that hasn't really changed me. I know that comes with the winning.

Fame didn't change me.

Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be thankful. Conceit is self-given; be careful.

It's not my ambition to be a big star.

I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored.

I never had any real expectations about what sort of success I would have or all the publicity.

Just because I managed to do a little something, I don't want anyone back home to think I got the big head.

You're asking the wrong girl about fame. I'm hardly famous. I wouldn't want to trade places with anyone else.

Whatever fame came did so not because I sought it.

My guess is that people look at me and project their own values - importance of family, ego is healthy but not the biggest thing. I don't know. I can't explain my popularity.

I don't really celebrate fame because I get enough attention.

I have never been a superstar and never believed in it.

I'm not going to give it the big 'I am' now that I'm a New York Times bestseller.

Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success - I don't have a standard.

I haven't won any prizes or had any best sellers.

I'm not a star.

If I've gotten to a point where people want to see something because I'm in it, I'm grateful and humbled. But having an awareness of that doesn't help me do what I need to do, I think.

You know you've reached true success the day you become truly humble. That's the day you stop needing to prove to the world - and yourself - that you've accomplished something meaningful.

I don't want to say I'm that famous, but when you see me, you see me.

I'm just a person that played a game in the spotlight.

So, I do not work towards fame but if it happens to me, I won't say no.

I don't consider myself an icon.

I never said I was the best in anything. I never said I'm an icon. The world decides all of that.

Even when I was at the top, playing in the Champions League final for Liverpool and playing at the World Cup for England, I've never let it go to my head.
