The way 'star' used to be reserved for a small number of people, and when the star category became so vast, they came up with 'superstar,' and then they came up with 'megastar.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You become megastars when superstars start reprising your roles.
Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.
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.
Some people are very good at being 'stars' and it suits them. I'm grudging about it and I find it annoying.
Being a star just means that you just find your own special place, and that you shine where you are. To me, that's what being a star means.
There are so many venues in which stars are exposed today, that we just know much more and the studios don't have the control over stars like they used to, in the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
The word 'star' doesn't mean an awful lot to me. 'Good actor' and having the respect of one's peers means more.
You have to have a certain persona to be a star, you know, and I don't have that. I'm a banana.
The reason why people are huge stars is nothing to do with acting. It's the magic. Charisma is a word that's used too often; it's something special, and it's what makes stars. It's luck, and basically, it's genes.
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.
