I think there is a difference between being a celebrity and being an actor.

Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

There are two jobs. There is being an actor, and there is being a celebrity. Some people are really good at both. Some people are really good celebrities and terrible actors, and some people are really good actors and terrible celebrities. Hopefully, I am a really good actor and an OK celebrity.

An actor is someone who pretends to be somebody else. A movie star is somebody who pretends that somebody else is them.

I'm not a star, I'm an actor - there's a difference!

I've worked with Hollywood stars, but the reason most of the Hollywood stars I've worked with are Hollywood stars is that they're excellent actors, so I've been very lucky.

I want to be the best actor that I can be; I want to be working in this business absolutely, and if that means being a movie star, then OK, that's fine. But to me, movie star, celebrity, all that stuff means something very different than being an actor.

I'm a professional actor, not a celebrity.

You cannot combine being a movie star with not being a movie star.

The thing is, you choose to be an actress, but not to be a celebrity.
