It's normally the kiss of death to be identified as a rising star, or someone to watch.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a conventional reaction when you see a star: You anticipate he'll be a part of a particular denouement down the road, so you don't worry for that character.
To me, it's the kiss of death when you start winking at the audience as an actor. I just never liked it. I don't like it when we do monologues, looking into the character.
Every star has that certain something that stands out and compels us to notice them.
Kissing in the movies is a real art - figuring out where to put your heads so it looks good on camera. I have had other co-stars who couldn't work that out, which made it a lot harder for me.
Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.
There comes a point where it is just undignified to be a rock 'n' roll star.
The star thing, the celebrity thing, is new to me.
To me, 'rock star' conjures up something like a mystic: someone who sees himself as above other people, someone who has the key to the secret that people want to know.
A kiss is a rosy dot over the 'i' of loving.
I don't even know what TV star means. I know there's a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.
