I don't like that, because there are a lot of people whose works I admire as actors or actresses, or musicians. And you know, I've been a big fan of different musicians or actors.

Surrounded by high-paid publicity people and professional ego massagers, movie stars, like politicians, almost invariably come to believe that they are nicer, more charming, and more beloved than they appear to be to a casual observer, and that their stories about their careers are universally fascinating.

Eventually, the more I listened and became obsessed with singers, I feel like the more I realized that I had my own little thing that I could do. So this is why I just became obsessed with looking for new singers, unknown singers, people that maybe have been forgotten, and really checking them out and analyzing what they do.

I love what I do for a living, but the other side, that aspect of being famous or a celebrity's got zero interest to me.

I think there is a lot of space for people to love who they love, and a lot of space for actors to carve a niche for themselves.

People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays.

People always want the stars of movies to fall in love with one another.

I admire a lot of actors, but I don't covet people's careers.

I'm largely interested in people who are just great actors, and they're not necessarily hugely famous.
