Otherwise, to be a movie star, it's a lot of compromise and also a lot of headaches. You can't do what you want. You become a prisoner of your fame. This happened to me in France and I don't want it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a movie star, and I don't want to become a movie star.
The problem with being a film actress or a movie star is that people see you so huge that somehow you're visually massive or somehow you're in some removed space, which is a television or wherever. It somehow takes your humanity.
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.
Being a movie star isn't easy. It requires a lot of commitment and sacrifice. Your career goes through extreme ups and downs. You are judged all the time. Great things are written about you, but at the same time, not-so-good things are also said. At times, things are said about you that are completely untrue, and people mostly try to pull you down.
Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don't think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.
I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.
A movie star is someone people look at and go, 'I want to be like that person'. There's the responsibility of desire. It's not something I'm interested in trying. I would fail miserably at it, so why even bother?
I don't have any massive ambitions to be a movie star.
I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.
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.
