Celebrity is hawking make-up, cars, everything; it's shifted.

Celebrity is a weird appendage, which is useless unless you do something with it.

Our culture is so celebrity-obsessed that for individuals to show they matter, they need to display their intimacy to fame.

Part of being famous is offering up this blank screen upon which people can project everything, and it's a sacred act, putting yourself out there, in a way that lots of celebrities aren't steeled for; they're not prepared for the degree to which people define them.

There's so much made of the exceptional and the celebrity, the famous, and the wannabees.

In other words, the celebrity gets out of hand, and if you're not careful, you will forget what you are about - and that is you are about making music that people want to hear.

The power of celebrity backing has been crucial. I would say that 90 percent of our brand recognition comes from celebrities wearing my pieces.

I'm a career actor. And I question this constant reliance on TV fame and celebrity.

This whole celebrity racket, it's not really my bag. I don't really do that stuff, and I am not looking to get famous myself. I would love it if my characters get famous, my work was well known and appreciated. But I'm an actor, not a spokes model or a celebrity or whatever that is. I don't know how to be that.

Celebrity is seen by a huge amount of people and certainly myself for a while as the pinnacle of society, of success. It is revered almost religiously, both the institution and its quickly growing member base.
