I think excessive fame is a bad thing. For many people it does go to your head. However, it is those that do not let it get to their heads that tend to be the most respected. People like Churchill come to mind (although I am sure there are better examples).
I have always liked my anonymity, and don't think I would like to be famous. In that old (and stupid) question, would you rather be rich or famous, I have always answered rich. Being famous holds no appeal to me.
