What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.

I never thought of myself as a movie star. I'm just a working girl. A working girl who worked her way to the top - and never fell off.

I don't know the definition of a star; I am just an actor. I prefer doing hard work, as I feel luck can't do much in absence of hard work. I am a lazy person - when I entered into this industry, I thought it was a cakewalk, but I have realised it needs a lot of patience and hard work.

I'm not a star, I'm an actor - there's a difference!

I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.

I'm not a movie star. I'm just an actress.

I don't want to be a star. If you have to label me anything, I'm an actor - I guess. A journeyman actor. I think 'star' is what you call actors who can't act.

Quite frankly, I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.

People call me a movie star. If you're in the business, a movie star is someone who can make a film bankable. My name and $6 million will make a $6 million movie. I'm a working actor. Because I started late, I had a very short run as a leading man, and my films didn't make money in America.

You can either be a movie star or an actor. I'm an actor.
