The minuses of celebrity include having to live with security and the knowledge that you may be stalked.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.
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.
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.
Celebrity is a weird appendage, which is useless unless you do something with it.
If you're a big celebrity, you get money to be private. I'm just a working stiff. I don't get bodyguards or alarm systems.
People don't find the personal lives of people with much, much more power than any celebrity would have - don't find their personal lives interesting.
Basically, I still have the privacy that all celebrities crave, except for those celebrities who feel that privacy reflects some kind of failure on their part.
I don't know how you would live in the world of Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston and being stalked. It's just brutal.
Celebrity is the advantage of being known to people who we don't know, and who don't know us.
What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.
