If you're a big celebrity, you get money to be private. I'm just a working stiff. I don't get bodyguards or alarm systems.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.
I can be a show-off at home. But publicly, I have always been a private person. It's not totally my bag to court the press.
I am a private person; I think that's important if you're an actor. But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person.
Not only do I have celebrity, but I have notoriety, which is sometimes more seductive.
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.
When you are a celebrity, nothing remains secret for very long.
I'm not a security-type person: I don't want to have bodyguards around me. I'm not into all that.
I'm just a guy who happens to work in public from time to time. I've built a reputation as an established comic, not as a celebrity - a celebrity is someone who is famous but doesn't do anything.
The minuses of celebrity include having to live with security and the knowledge that you may be stalked.
What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.
