A lot of people come to Los Angeles and think that they're going to be famous, just like that.

Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.

Los Angeles is a city known as much for it's sun as for its stars and it's dirty air.

Los Angeles is such a town of show business, and I'm a terrible celebrity. I find it difficult - it's the beast that must be fed. There's this big wheel of pictures and articles that goes around, and you get pinned on it.

My aim was never to be an American star; otherwise, I would have moved to Los Angeles.

What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.

I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star.

Hollywood is the kind of town that likes to make everything larger than life: movie premieres, aging actress' lips, and murders. Actors come from all over the world to find their sliver of fame on the street of L.A. Many stars rise, but many more fall.

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