Obviously, I don't like to use my new celebrity status as a way to get first class service at a restaurant. For me, it's just more special to use it for good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Celebrity never really served me that well; it serves other people well.
Celebrity has some amazing advantages, of course it does. You're given an extraordinary power. It's a door-opener. I might not have to queue for things.
To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way.
I have no interest in being a celebrity. I wouldn't go to anything that I wasn't involved in just for the sake of wearing a nice frock and having my picture taken. That part of the business doesn't make me feel very comfortable.
But celebrity really doesn't mean anything unless you use it for finding some way to give back and I've always felt that way.
My being some kind of celebrity - not a real celebrity, isn't a welcome part of the job.
I just figure if you have a modicum of celebrity, you need to use it, and you need to use it for more things than just promoting yourself or your film or your image or your product.
I don't mind doing the whole red carpet thing when I have to when it comes to publicizing a movie. But besides that, I don't like those kinds of things at all. Celebrity status is not really something that appeals to me.
I've never considered myself a celebrity or even part of the entertainment business. I'm a cooking teacher.
The one thing I like about being a celebrity more than anything is being able to get into any restaurant I want.
