You know, I still live in my neighborhood. I live in Brooklyn and the same neighborhood, so I don't really get star treatment like that. I'm still Vanessa from the neighborhood.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm still Vanessa from the neighborhood. My parents own the shop, and I'm there all the time, that I worked in when I was a teenager. I have a child from my childhood sweetheart.
In Los Angeles, everyone is a star.
I don't want to be a 'teen star' because so many people don't ever grow out of that.
I never pushed to be a star. I didn't want to. I had my home, my family. Session work let you do the music and leave.
I don't get star-stuck. I love Angelina Jolie, though.
I didn't come to New York to be a star, I brought my star with me.
I didn't care about being the 'star.' I just wanted to make a living and have a consistent career.
If I was a star, it would be difficult to go off and do 'Coronation Street.' So I guess I'm not a star.
Unless you're a star in this town, you're really nothing.
I used to get some ego thing out of saying I wasn't a star, just an actress. Forget it. I'm a star. I wanted it. I worked for it. I got it.
