If you're famous, you suck, just for being famous. People in England totally get that; Americans don't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've found a lot of the thinking in America is that a lot of people become actors to become famous. At least from my experience, I have a dozen or so British friends who are actors, and if you look at their body of work, and they'll go do theatre, and they'll go do this and this. They work, and they're always honing and trying to be better.
One of the downsides of being famous is that folks pay far more attention to you than they should. American celebrities are constantly under surveillance, and every word they say is subject to scrutiny. So, be careful what you wish for if you desire fame. No human being should be a goldfish.
People in England talk about stupid Hollywood idiots, but the industry attracts some of the cleverest people in the world.
The business of being a popular entertainer in England is just too hard.
It doesn't matter if you're famous or infamous. All that matters is you're a celebrity.
Actually, bizarrely, in America, I get more appreciation from the odd, unusual stuff I've done, almost because I'm not, if you like, famous in America as I am in England.
I don't really consider myself to be famous.
One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check.
Just because you're not famous, doesn't mean you're not good.
I have no sense of being famous - you're just working. And then you'll have a random day in London when you'll do some press and it creeps into your awareness that this goes out - that what you do every day goes out to televisions right across the country.
