And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.

I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.
The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.
I'm not a star, I'm an actor - there's a difference!
Like, if you are a celebrity, then anyone will let you be in a film or on a TV show, and if you're an actor, chances are if you are successful, you are becoming a celebrity.
I'm an actor. And I guess I've done so many movies I've achieved some high visibility. But a star? I guess I still think of myself as kind of a worker ant.
If you're a young actor, unless you're on a very short list at the studios, we have to be very creative about moving your career along. Otherwise, all we can do is hope to get lucky and find that perfect role that pops you into stardom.
I'm from the theater. I never wanted to be a star.
When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.
What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.
What I want to be is an actor, not a star.
