I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.

It's definitely a dream come true to be recognized and to be able to sign autographs. But it's also a lot of hard work and can be draining. If you don't know already you will quickly learn who your real friends are.

If I had the hand strength to sign autographs for everybody in Kansas City I would... but its just impossible to get to everyone.

If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.

I truly respect the people who are working. If they want an autograph from Patti LaBelle they are going to get it. I have never separated myself from them. I never think you are better than the next one.

I sure saw a lot of kids that I'm sure didn't know a lot about us or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward we'd talk about music sign a lot of autographs. So I'm sure we made a lot of new fans.

My mom is still yelling at me because she needs more autographed pictures.

I never refused an autograph never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I'm learning to say I've got other things on instead of doing it and wondering why.

One time I went into a restroom and a girl followed me in. I signed an autograph for her in the sink. It was pretty funny because she was in a guy's restroom and she wasn't embarrassed at all.

Some movie stars wear their sunglasses even in church. They're afraid God might recognize them and ask for autographs.

Hold on to that. You have an autograph. I'm going to be famous some day.

My office walls are covered with autographs of famous writers - it's what my children call my 'dead author wall.' I have signatures from Mark Twain Earnest Hemingway Jack London Harriett Beecher Stowe Pearl Buck Charles Dickens Rudyard Kipling Alfred Lord Tennyson to name a few.

I was with a famous comedian when a young fan walked up and asked for an autograph. The comedian blew him off. I'll never forget the look on the young boy's face. He was devastated.

A player dreams of being a superstar but he doesn't want people flocking all over him asking for an autograph.

I am a very open social friendly person and when it comes to people approaching me and asking for an autograph I am totally cool with doing any of that. It's a lot of fun.

I hate it when people come up to me on trains and ask 'Are you Soulja Boy?' If people want pictures or autographs that's cool but I don't like the dumb questions.

I never set out to become 'famous.' I mean when you're 14 you think 'I'm gonna become a writer and people will want my autograph and that'll be cool ' but you grow up and you learn that's just not how the world works. I resigned myself to the fact that I would probably never be published and if I did it probably wouldn't be a big deal.

When I was living on the street I would be standing out in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater leaning against my car and signing autographs and nobody had any idea that I was living in it.
