I met a lot of famous people when I was about 24. And none of them seemed very appealing. And so I didn't know why I would struggle to be that kind of person.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I definitely wanted to be famous as a kid, but as I've gotten older, I feel less comfortable with it.
I can't relate to people who treat me as a 'famous person.' I only like to hang around with people who treat me as a regular person because that's what I am. All people are really just regular.
I never wanted to be an actress, really. I sort of caught the bug fairly late. So many people are so intrigued with the glamour and celebrity of acting, and a lot of actors start acting when they are 9 or 10 years old - so young. I started when I was about 24.
I've never been overwhelmed with a desire to become famous. It's not that I didn't want to have my work appreciated, but for some reason - maybe it's because my father disapproved of almost everything I did - in some secret place in my being was a desire to avoid success.
I'm famous by default. I came out of the womb, and people wanted to know who I was because of my parents.
I had a very happy childhood, happy teenage years and I was famous by the time I was 22. A charmed life.
For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.
I was 25 and the most popular celebrity in the world, with the possible exception of my friend Mary Pickford.
Fame didn't happen to me in my 20s, it has been a gradual thing which probably makes it easier to deal with.
I played old men back in drama school. It's just now that I'm drawing level with the age of the characters I play, but I'm fine with that, and I've certainly never envied people who became hugely famous when they were young.
