The only kind of fame I want is a good reputation within my professional world.
Talia, 25
Stamford, CT
USA
I would like to be a well-known chef. Or horse rider. Or Guide-dog trainer.
Triana, 29
Austin, TX
USA
Not especially. I don't think fame is such a good thing.
Judy, 62
Easton, KS
USA
Well, I'd like to win the Nobel Prize in physics. And be dictator. Then I'd be famous.
Cancer, 20
NYC, NY
USA
Of course I would, but I don't mind that I'm not. I'd be an athlete or a movie star or a musician or any other thing that would make me famous... but the fact that I'm not famous doesn't bother me a bit. I have a good, private life.

Overland Park, KS USA
If I were going to be famous, it'd have to be connected with writing somehow. I suppose it wouldn't be too awful to be famous...as long as lots of money came along with it.
Fisch, 47
Preston, CT
USA
I want to invent something and be known forever as the inventor. (But nothing stupif like the "pet rock", something cool like electricity)
Stephanie, 25
TX USA
No I do not want to be famous. I like my life as it is.
KarenNJ, 25
Milltown, NJ
USA
I'd like for my work to be famous but for my name to be one of the high-value questions on Jeopardy, known but easily forgotten and not quite pop.
Alias Irrelevante
Is well-known the same as famous? I'd like to be well-known as a photographer of beautiful scenics.
Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA
I'd rather be quietly distinguished rather than be famous. Respect from a few is more desirable than acclaim from the mob.
Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA
not really, perhaps just enough to get me free travel and accomodation.
Brad, 21
Sydney AUSTRALIA
At one point I wanted to be a famous radio DJ, now I would settle for being famous for doing good and making a difference in this world.
Ryan, 29
Morton, IL
USA
No, celebrities have their privacy invaded in so many ways. So many lies are also told by them. Besides, I would never be able to go out by myself without fans bombarding me with questions or autograph requests.
Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH
USA
I don't know. I don't think I would handle the invasion of privacy very well.
Nicci, 27
Las Vegas, NV
USA
Hmm... not really. I've always thought that fame/popularity is over-rated. It's not really for me.
Jeremy, 14
Highlands Ranch, CO USA
Not at all. I like being anonymous.
Laura, 37
Lowell, MA
USA
Nope. I like being left alone.
Firelady, 24
Frisco, TX
USA
In a mysterious way. Like the actor is great, but the person who catches his motion in relation to the environment(where the actor is at that time) has to have much more understanding of what the movie is about. Maybe some day when I am dead people would say what a great cammera man he was. President and his staff. I would like to be staff.
Christopher, 28
San Mateo, CA
USA
I wouldn't mind be "marginally" famous. I would like to be known as a great scientist or nature writer/photoghrapher/filmmaker. I would not like to be "movie-star" famous, though. I enjoy my privacy too much. I couldn't hope with people following me around, taking pictures and stuff like that.
Tam
When I was little I always dreamt of being a soap star. Stupid, I know, but still I'd just love to go and make tons of money, then come back home and shove it in everyone's face who told me I was a nothing while I was growing up. I'd prolly spend it on my brother's though since they've been good to me.
Em, 16
Harrisburg, PA USA
Not really. But if I were, it would be in the long-term history sort of sense. Preferably for some great invention, idea or creative endeavor
Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA
USA
I would like to be a famous author.
Karen,
22
Ames, IA
USA
No, I have no big desire to be famous.
Janet,
44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
I'd love to be famous for something. I'd like to be known as a therapist/counselor/something, but I'd truly love to be recognised sometime for my musical talents. Maybe someday I'll self produce an album or something.
