I was voted Biggest Ham and Likeliest to Become a Celebrity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was famous overnight. I went from nowhere to being really big.
Celebrity was fun, and I had a good time.
For a time, at least, I was the most famous person in the entire world.
As an athlete, I was never really comfortable with being a celebrity.
I was obsessed with being rich and famous.
I wanted to be successful, not famous.
For me, becoming a celebrity was like being in the eye of a hurricane. Suddenly, I was an international cover girl. Everybody was lapping up my Hemingwayness. They wanted to rub elbows with me or brush up against me.
I am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one.
I was born into big celebrity. It could only diminish.
I was never a celebrity - just a working actor.
