People just assume that if you're famous, you're in Hollywood.

When you reach a certain status in Hollywood, you have to play a lot of games to stay in the limelight. It becomes more about being famous than being an actor.

You've gotta play the Hollywood game, and you know you're doing good the more notoriety you're getting, and that's gold. That's what every actor wants because then you know you're at another level.

Practically everyone in Hollywood has a neighbor who's been famous, wants to be famous, is famous, has been married to someone famous, worked with someone famous, slept with someone famous, been blackmailed by someone famous.

Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you're the pedestal they built for you.

I know an awful lot of Hollywood people, who are so self-important, I can't understand it.

Hollywood is great for entertaining people, it's a wonderful business but it's make-believe, you must remember that. That's one of the most important things to remember and the distinction in your own life, otherwise people get lost in their own fame, and it makes them unhappy.

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.

When you're famous, you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you, and you don't see the real people.

I don't know what 'famous' is, really.
