America has a love-hate relationship with celebrity. We love to follow celebrities, but we also love to mock them. And secretly, we believe we're better than they are.

I don't like being a celebrity, really... Some people get greater praise than they deserve because they have had exposure in the media. I don't think I agree with that at all.

I feel like when you're a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you're a real person.

Even a modicum of celebrity is hard to deal with. You see it with actors and directors all the time.

In this country we're just obsessed with making people celebrities before they've even done anything, which I think is just shocking.

The idea of celebrity has always been very strange to me because it's taking the focus away from the music and attaching it to a person. When we put someone on a pedestal or idolize them, we're giving our own power away.

Celebrities, even insignificant ones like me, are created to be abused by the Great Unwashed.

I've always had a lot of ambivalence about fame and celebrity.
