Celebrity is the advantage of being known to people who we don't know, and who don't know us.

Famous is celebrityism, and I don't want that... I know that I'm not that. Everybody knows who you are. I can't imagine living that life, but I don't think I consider myself famous.

Make sure your desire to do what you're aspiring to do is deeper than just fame and being a celebrity.

I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts, people who want to be famous for no reason.

One of the downsides of being famous is that folks pay far more attention to you than they should. American celebrities are constantly under surveillance, and every word they say is subject to scrutiny. So, be careful what you wish for if you desire fame. No human being should be a goldfish.

You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.

I think that part of the difficulty of being a celebrity is that you may have to hide what you're feeling and you aren't totally allowed to be yourself, because you're in the public eye.

I'm not particularly good at 'celebrity'; I don't think it was something I was born to do. I think I can get by as an actor, but I've never been one for the red carpet and don't put a lot of stock in celebrities that are famous for being famous.

I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way.

Maybe to become famous is to reassure yourself that whatever you're lacking inside, you've fulfilled that.
