I'm a bit of a P. T. Barnum. I make stars out of everyone.

Today the salaries of stars are astronomical in comparison with the 20's, but the high cost of today's living and taxes takes a huge bite out of these salaries.
~By Pola Negri ~

~By Eddie Marsan ~

I can find in my undergraduate classes, bright students who do not know that the stars rise and set at night, or even that the Sun is a star.
~By Carl Sagan ~

~By Mother Teresa ~

~By Alfred Adler ~
All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
~By Charles A. Beard ~

~By Heinz R. Pagels ~
Business people have been made into these rock stars because they've made a lot of money.
~By James Daly ~
What troubles me is not that movie stars run for office, but that they find it easy to get elected. It should be difficult. It should be difficult for millionaires, too.
~By Shana Alexander ~
You know, they just don't make big movie stars the way they used to, maybe because the system has changed, the studio system, but it's sad to see people like Jimmy Stewart go, all the giants of the past.
~By Tom Atkins ~
Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.

~By Roger Ebert ~
Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They're not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavoury.
~By Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio ~
The irony of that is, what makes it kind of ironic, is when you do become successful as a professional athlete in particular, a lot of the young children who are emulating these stars do have a different perspective.
~By Frank Shorter ~
My grandmother and I followed my mother here, to a house a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. We would hang out behind the ropes and look at the movie stars arriving at the premieres.

~By Ben Stiller ~
I think you should make more movies, more musicals. I think the public deserves that. I think this country deserves to be able to get out and foster that talent. Give them an opportunity to become stars. I think the whole idea is wonderful.

~By Laura Hillenbrand ~
Dancing on 'Dancing With The Stars' really broadened my fan base. I jumped off the stage backwards one week, and so many women come up to me now and say, 'You're so brave.
