I thought I'd get over being insecure if I became famous, but it hasn't happened. It just gets worse, really. You get more and more on edge, more nervous. These are all the things I'm dealing with. You think if you get famous, fear will go away and problems will go away. But they don't.

That's why you find a lot of entertainers are insecure, because it's the perfect camouflage for insecurity.

Most artists are notoriously insecure, and I fall into that category.

I don't put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.

Despite my confidence and self-belief, I've always wrestled with feelings of insecurity. To be honest, I think most people in show business are insecure.

I don't see myself as famous; I see myself as a normal person with a job that is not very normal. My work life is very out there and very public. But I do my best to maintain my privacy.

Being an actress hasn't made me insecure. I was insecure long before I declared I was an actress.

I am not an insecure person. For me, insecurity comes when something I do does not come across the way I thought it would. It would come if I had nothing more to say as an actor. I have a long way to go!

I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.

Being famous before you've formed your personality, before you have that self-esteem, is dangerous.
