Being a celebrity is a business.

Celebrities are nowhere as rich as some people think they are.

Now with the Internet, a celebrity is fair game, and it's all designed to sell advertising space.

I want to use my celebrity for good.

Lesson to would-be fame seekers: It's not really a new world when it comes to celebrity. There are no shortcuts. It's still talent, perseverance and hard work. Even the speed and reach of the Net can't create lasting value and income overnight.

It's a diabolical business. I can't imagine how hellish it must be to be hounded like Amy Winehouse and people like that. I have a little peripheral place on the outskirts of celebrity, when I go to premieres and that sort of stuff, which is as close as I want to get.

Anyone can be a celebrity now; this is not a big deal anymore.

Hollywood is going to have to find a way of meeting those profit goals.

The amount of work you need to do to become a very successful celebrity is something I'm not prepared to do.

It's not easy to get a celebrity to attach themselves to something. You have to build a relationship.
