The amount of work you need to do to become a very successful celebrity is something I'm not prepared to do.

If you want to be an actor, you have to do it because you love acting, not because you want to be a celebrity.

I meet people who are famous, and it's made me realise that fame has huge lifestyle disadvantages. I'm nervous about that. I don't want to become a celebrity.

I don't really want to be a celebrity.

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.

It's not a matter of becoming a superstar. Fame and money aren't the purpose of all this. No actor's going to say, 'I don't want to be famous.' But the main purpose for doing what I'm doing is the passion in the work.

You have to be savvy to be a celebrity. You have to create a personality and shove that out. It just seems fatuous to me. Professionally, it's a good idea. But I can't do it.

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.

Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do.

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.
