I'm a professional actor, not a celebrity.

I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.

I live my life parallel with my work, and they are both equally important. I'm always amazed how much people talk about celebrity and fame. I don't understand the attraction.

I've always had a lot of ambivalence about fame and celebrity.

My celebrity has held steady since the day I began acting. I don't view it as celebrity. I'm just a worker.

I'm not really into the fame thing. I've met so many celebrities now, and everybody's just the same. I'm a bit of a family bird.

I'm not striving for fame, that's for sure. I don't particularly like the idea of celebrity. I would like to be successful with my music, so I realise that there's a balance to be made there.

I'm an actress, not a celebrity.

Lesson to would-be fame seekers: It's not really a new world when it comes to celebrity. There are no shortcuts. It's still talent, perseverance and hard work. Even the speed and reach of the Net can't create lasting value and income overnight.

As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.
