Variance in Social Tendencies of the Great Scientists

It is interesting to note the great variations in the social tendencies and attitudes of some of the great thinkers and scientists that we have studied.  While Newton seems to have been incredibly antisocial and reluctant to even share his work with others, Galileo seems to have enjoyed his celebrity status and taken great pride in displaying his work.  Could Galileo's relish of his celebrity status have sometimes been a distraction from his search for astronomical data?  At the very least, it contributed to the Church's decision to bring him to trial, which must have provided a significant source of distraction from his work.  Did Newton ever attain a sort of 'celebrity' status during his lifetime for his discovery of calculus and his ability to chart out the motion of the planets, among other feats?  It seems that his hesitance to publish his work would have prevented him from reaching the sort of fame that Galileo enjoyed.  In any case, is it logical to conclude that Newton may have been able to accomplish more as the recluse that he was than he would have as a more social celebrity?
