I really believe that, as an actor, you should be constantly studying other people, and celebrity had the absolute opposite effect on me. It made me want to hide - to run away and hide.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you're putting yourself out there all the time, you're not holding anything back.

Actors are observers. They're trying to have an understanding of human sensibility. And how do you have that accurate observation if you regard yourself as someone of great importance? When you're the one constantly being observed, because they view you as a celebrity? It's all wrong.
I think that part of the difficulty of being a celebrity is that you may have to hide what you're feeling and you aren't totally allowed to be yourself, because you're in the public eye.
The downside of being a celebrity is that people kind of know about you, and you really don't need them to know about you - you need them to know about your work.
The biggest effect celebrity had on me was that I stopped being open and receptive and started to walk around with my head down.
I never wanted to be the guy people looked at. I don't think of myself as being a celebrity; it's too mortifying.
It's just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.
I'm a career actor. And I question this constant reliance on TV fame and celebrity.
I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.
