If your family was part of the movie business, then watching ‘Moguls & Movie Stars’ is like looking at the family photo album: hilarious to members of the family, numbingly boring to those outside the family circle.
Personality is essential. It is in every work of art. When someone walks on stage for a performance and has charisma, everyone is convinced that he has personality. I find that charisma is merely a form of showmanship. Movie stars usually have it. A politician has to have it.

Movie stars are insecure like everyone else. That’s why they go into acting!
We’ve always been fascinated with movie stars and singers, but the fascination with people who really have nothing to offer is something new.

It’s a tougher gig than what people think it is. The proper, real, genuine, worldwide movie stars don’t get a lot of downtime from the world outside. That’s a tougher price, I think, than what people’s fantasy of fame account for.
I feel very comfortable with my trajectory because I do have a life; I can go on the subway, you know? And I’ve been able to do that my entire career, and I have friends who are huge movie stars and can’t go on the subway, and I feel like that sucks.
I want people to know that movie stars live a normal, middle-class life.
Cinema isn’t just a good medium for translating graphic novels. It’s specifically a good medium for superheroes. On a fundamental, emotional level, superheroes, whether in print or on film, serve the same function for their audience as Golden Age movie stars did for theirs: they create glamour.

The fact is that movie stars are as insecure as the rest of us – if not more so. Many live in a luxurious bubble in which their best friends are their trainer, their hairdresser, their publicist, and their Kabbalah instructor.

When beautiful movie stars allow themselves to look terrible, people think they’re really acting.
What troubles me is not that movie stars run for office, but that they find it easy to get elected. It should be difficult. It should be difficult for millionaires, too.
In Hollywood, for me, it’s all about the movie stars and the singers. Baseball players don’t draw too much attention; we’re low key. I’m good with faces and sometimes bad with names, but I’ll walk up to somebody if I know who they are… show them some love.
I realized that I’m a soft person. I think I’m sensitive. I wanted very much to be tough and I think movie stars have a certain kind of resilience and toughness to them, but I’m quite a sensitive young lady in some respects.

We’re the country of movie stars because the stars, like ourselves, represent a kind of extended infantilism, beauties waiting for the big chance.
It’s like Hollywood movie stars – you can say they lead a glamourous life, but it’s a lot of work. They’re on set for 16 hours a day, then they go home and they still study. They have a nice paycheque at the end, but they do work a lot. WWE is very much like that.
Our memory and the movies keep movie stars alive for us, and Tony Curtis is still a star.
