Words matter. These are the best Celebrities Quotes from famous people such as Jarvis Cocker, Lindsay Shookus, Al Yankovic, James Woods, Lewis Black, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
I’m sure Sting’s a lovely guy. It’s just that nobody wants to be seen as that holier-than-thou thing. That over-earnestness is a bit of a problem with people in bands and celebrities or whatever.
What I’ve realized is celebrities are regular people.
So I’m one of the few celebrities that got to do a repeat performance on ‘The Simpsons,’ which I’m very flattered by.
Because of who I am, when I sit at a poker table, I meet people who engage me in conversation, not only about poker, but also about the movie business and about the world of celebrities.
It’s a big thing now: A lot of people want to be assistants to celebrities. If you’re pursuing that, you’re an idiot. You’re a moron. The shortest distance between two points is not a celebrity, or being next to a celebrity.
I stick to my own type when I go out, and I don’t make friends with people just because they’re celebrities.
I don’t like it when celebrities get voice work. But then again, if I was the producer, I wouldn’t want a bunch of no-names doing my show and have to worry about word-of-mouth. I see both sides of the story.
Shakespeare was completely fictionalising the people who were then the great celebrities of English.
It is great to see Bollywood celebrities contributing to so many different trends in so many different ways. I think this is one of the reasons that people associate with Bollywood glamour.
Some people may look at you almost like a fantasy at times, you know; some people don’t think you’re real. Because people forget that celebrities are humans too, sometimes.
I don’t feel like so many other celebrities’ kids, who hate their parents for abandoning them.
Basically, I’m a really bad interviewer. I love meeting celebrities, but then I get a bit bored. Once you meet them you thing, ‘really, what an ordinary person’.
Since becoming a BBC breakfast presenter I have been paid four-figure sums for doing hour-long speeches for associations and at awards dinners. That has been an eye-opener. I am surprised by how much people are willing to pay TV celebrities to do that kind of stuff.
Just because there are celebrities in a movie, it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t think The Ant Bully did all that well the first week at the box office. Compare the movies that have a lot of celebrities with the Jimmy Neutron movie, which had no celebrity voices and grossed almost one hundred million dollars.
I find it to be strange that people get obsessed about how fast actresses and celebrities are taking off their baby weight. I guess people like to look to them and feel better about themselves or feel worse about themselves.
If I was a fashion designer just following trends or designing for celebrities, I would not be fulfilled.
NYFW is not just about the designers and the runway. It is a massive production from the celebrities in attendance, the assistants backstage prepping the models before they walk to the epic after-parties!
I plan to publicize my breakups and profit from them like other celebrities.
I remember watching Regis and Kathie Lee interview celebrities, and my mom looked so happy. I just did the math. I wanted to make my mom happy, and I wanted to talk to celebrities. Basically, I wanted Kathie Lee’s job!
All kinds of celebrities, political ones as well, are increasingly being targeted. In this country, with all the countless guns.
I know a lot of celebrities who are perfectly happy to put their name to something and then leave it at that because the money is good, but I need to have complete control over how something is going to look if my name is going to be attached to it.
I think with artists and celebrities, you want to be simultaneously supportive of their conversions without putting too much hope and weight into it.
Celebrities like to pay lip service to causes but rarely do so by putting their lives in peril. And even more rarely do they do so in the name of the United States of America, not on their own behalf.
Indian celebrities have the media and fans permanently outside their homes, and that would make me really uncomfortable.
I like individuality in fashion – it annoys me when celebrities put on a bodycon dress and a pair of high heels and suddenly they are ‘style icons.’
It’s always disappointing to come across phony do-gooders. And it’s easy to scoff at celebrities working in war zones.
When I talk about celebrities, it’s not a dismantling of that human being.
Before I went on ‘Gogglebox,’ I could never have imagined how hard it is for women in the public eye. I thought celebrities lived in a different world, I took everything the tabloids printed as gospel, and I barely even used social media.
I think the world’s just gone completely mad, with everyone wearing the same things, even celebrities.
If the powers that be really knew how much time I spent thinking about and researching celebrities, they probably wouldn’t let me anywhere near the red carpet. But, please promise not to tell them. I’m harmless, I swear.
Gawker thrived on embarrassment and shame, seeking to demolish not just celebrities or politicians but average random people whose sins it would expose for traffic and commenters who gloried in its actions.
‘So You Think You Can Dance’ comes on as a high-minded leap up the evolutionary ladder from other reality shows – on this one, you’re supposed to learn something, and the guest judges are fellow dance professionals rather than actual celebrities.
Celebrities can suffer a horrible loneliness even though they have millions of fans. I started doing meditations because I realized that a spiritual path was necessary.
It is ok for celebrities to not look good always.
We also have to think as fighters, celebrities – whatever you want to call us – that we have an obligation to point out stuff that’s just completely wrong.
‘Dancing With the Stars’ is not a show about me – it’s a show about my partner, it’s a show about celebrities that join the show.
It’s interesting to work with celebrities; they are very goal-oriented. But they still have to put their shorts on one leg at a time.
We obsess about celebrities. We create them, build myths around them, and then hunt them and destroy them. I don’t know where it’s taking us or what it means, but I know we do it. I have seen a lot of it myself.
There are millions of gay people in the United States, including well-known celebrities.
How many times have we seen reality celebrities fall from grace – often through no fault of their own – and then go on a show like ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and say, ‘I want to show the public a different side of me.’ And I’m screaming at the telly going, ‘This is not therapy. This is voyeurism!’
One of the interesting things about Twitter is looking how famous people choose to use it. Take someone like Steve Martin, who I follow: it’s all sorts of comic gems, nothing private, nothing personal – all jokes. Other celebrities are overtly personal – like Charlie Sheen. I do a mix of observations and updates.
We celebrities are desperate pigs.
Beyonce has very clear ideas – she knows exactly what she wants. The thing which she then also has over other celebrities is that she has an amazing voice. She’s incredibly talented, and she’s an amazing dancer – she’s complete. Few are like Beyonce.
Actors didn’t use to be celebrities. A hundred years ago, they put the theaters next to the brothels.
You don’t know how many celebrities I’ve gone into recording sessions with who first are kind of weirded out by us freaky voiceover people, then when the day is over, they want to stay. They haven’t had that much fun acting in ages. It’s hard to have any attitude about it.
An awful lot of female celebrities are very beautiful whereas a lot of male celebrities are not so hot.
I think, even before social media, it was really hard to not look at other classmates and say, ‘Well I wish I looked like her.’ Or even to look at celebrities and wish that ‘I looked like them.’
Like most celebrities, of course, I adore all the Mario games.
I am truly a product of Hollywood in-breeding. When two celebrities mate, someone like me is the result.
I’m not particularly good at ‘celebrity’; I don’t think it was something I was born to do. I think I can get by as an actor, but I’ve never been one for the red carpet and don’t put a lot of stock in celebrities that are famous for being famous.
I think there’s a time when your personal life gets magnified by who we are as celebrities.
A lot of the earliest ‘Instagram’ celebrities took really beautiful photos. But you’re starting to see a change where it’s not about beauty; it’s about the story that you tell.
People think celebrities just resort to surgeries or go for crash diets, but that’s not true.
So many people are campaigning, fighting, and even dying to make a statement in the name of humanity. These people have no voice that can be heard by many. I wish more celebrities would take the initiative to be that voice.
I hate celebrities.
When you interview celebrities, they’re so guarded so many times, they can’t reveal anything.
My cooking attracted celebrities. I met Sylvester Stallone. He squeezed my bicep and said: ‘I don’t usually eat your kind of food, but for you, I ate it.’ I haven’t got a clue what he’d eaten but he asked me to cook for his wedding feast when he married Jennifer Flavin at Blenheim Palace.
I have plenty of money, unlike other Hollywood celebrities or athletes that have not invested well.
I’ve met some of the most famous celebrities in the world but Michael Phelps was the first person I’ve ever met with whom I was totally star-struck.
My life in Hollywood surrounded by celebrities became a point of view for me – sports, fashion, music, film, arts, and politics as a media play.
In this country we’re just obsessed with making people celebrities before they’ve even done anything, which I think is just shocking.
The tools I learned photographing celebrities, now I want to use them to sell ideas.
Somebody told me a story where they met a celebrity when they were six years old, and the celebrity was really mean. They still remember that to this day. I never want some 22-year-old in ten years’ time to say, ‘I met Madelaine Petcsh, and it ruined my idea of celebrities,’ so I’m always aware.
Even though we were all celebrities to a certain extent, we all looked at each other as family.
There’s a lot of artists that are celebrities, not really artists.
I want a private life, I truly do. I’m not just pretending to want one like lots of celebrities.
We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.
People pay attention to artists and celebrities, so they have the opportunity to do something great with this limelight. I, for one, have no problem with Kanye running for president, because if it’s something that he truly believes in and it can lead to greater good, why not? I’m all for that.
I think my issues with the Internet surround people who become ‘overnight celebrities.’ It’s like, really? You put something on YouTube, and they Auto-Tuned it, and now you’re a star, and you have a TV show, and you have a record deal.
I still get excited about meeting celebrities, because I don’t think I’m a celebrity myself.
The way you really find out about the performer’s seriousness about the cause is how long they stay with it when the spotlight gets turned off. You see a lot of celebrities switch gears. They go from the environment to animal rights to obesity or whatever. That I don’t have a lot of respect for.
I was lucky enough to have great mentors both in the culinary world and in the world of chefs who became celebrities. Bobby Flay is one of my dearest friends and a tremendous mentor for me. Mario Batali is the same way. They began doing TV a little before me and they showed me the way.
We are constantly consuming entertainment; we treat celebrities like role models and royalty. Sometimes destructive behavior gets ignored, or sometimes the pressure breaks them.
I think sometimes celebrities get so big, they’re not reachable.
I was doing a show in L.A. called ‘Celebrity Autobiography,’ where celebrities read excerpts from other celebrities’ books and hang themselves with their own rope.
Looking from the outside at English football, at Spanish football, it’s more interesting, and they have the champions and the celebrities that they want to see. But with the passion that Italians have for football, the pride that they have, I don’t think the game will stay that way.
That’s the thing with celebrities: the media can’t ignore them.
I love Los Angeles, and it’s been very good to me, but if everyone is running around telling the stories, who’s living them? You don’t play characters that are celebrities – you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank’s blocked.
I don’t like talking to celebrities.
When I was five years old, I remember watching the opening of the Oscars with my mother and crying as I watched celebrities walk in on the red carpet. Why would any child cry watching the Oscars? For me, the reason was simple: I wanted to be there so badly that I burst into tears.
My friends were the class clowns, but I was the one in class doing Michael Jordan or teachers for no reason. I’ve always been amazing at impersonating real people, too, rather than celebrities.
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.
Writers are not celebrities, so you don’t expect to walk down the street and hear, ‘Oh my God, there’s Sylvia Day.’ You prefer to be anonymous.
You’re raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and, most importantly, you give it the feeling that it’s special. I think people react to celebrities like that – I mean, they treat celebrities like children.
Celebrities in general are pretty democratic, just being in the theater. Plus, I’m from Chicago. But Obama’s sensible… he’s just a reasonable, sensible human being.
I have been fortunate enough to have a diverse career – appearing on TV, touring the country and meeting tons of celebrities, even hanging out with rock stars – and it has been a blast.
What I learned was that celebrities come to me with a preconceived notion. They think I’m fun, or they’ve worked with me, or they know me, or we’ve met. So there’s a lot of backstuff on the ‘Vicki!’ show.
Random people, celebrities of note come to your shows over the years, and I’ve had some really strange ones. Like the guy from Kiss. Gene Simmons has literally been in the audience at my shows, like, four times. I don’t know if he knows me; he’s just a big fan of comedy.
I think people tend to forget that as celebrities we are still human. We have the same emotions – we cry, we have fun, we laugh, we get sad, and we get hurt. When something is written about you, which millions of people are reading, and it is not true, imagine how hurtful it can be.
A lot of celebrities who come on WWE, they don’t know what to expect. And sometimes our crowd and our fans eat them up.
When I hear so-called professional journalists ask why we have celebrities speak for us and for the animals, the environment or social causes, I marvel at their denial of the rules of their own trade.
Domestic violence is an epidemic, and yet we don’t address it. Until it happens to celebrities.
Without naming names, I definitely think that celebrities nowadays are really having better surgery. It’s looking a lot more natural than ever which is really great.
I think, in a lot of ways, celebrities represent the American dream. They have financial fluidity and options at their disposal.
I think we live a culture that’s obsessed with people, you know, ‘Celebrities are just like us!’ Everything I do except my job is critically analyzed online.
Even your favorite celebrities go through tough periods and have heartbreak. They must empower themselves with healthy choices, as do you!
The most talented do not always end up as celebrities, and those with less talent often do. Upsets are written into our history and occur around us every day.
Favorite-son candidates almost always win their states decisively in presidential elections. But their status as national celebrities can end up breeding fatigue and resentment among home-state voters when the election is over.
It’s so unfair on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ because when the men celebrities are competing, all you look at is the females! So nobody really watches them. Then when you see the women stars competing, you’re expecting them to look like the females and they just can’t! It’s an unfair advantage.
Celebrities may get all the attention in the glossies, but when athletes set an example, their words are far-reaching – deep into the inner cities, across Mid-western farmlands, up and down coasts.
The bullying was hideous and relentless, and we turned it round by making ourselves celebrities.
I try to keep a balance. I actually believe that children want normal parents, they don’t want celebrities or important parents or anything different from all the other parents.
I hate celebrities. I really hate them.
Like Andy Warhol and unlike God Almighty, Larry King does not presume to judge; all celebrities are equal in his eyes, saints and sinners alike sharing the same ‘Love Boat’ voyage into the dark beyond, a former sitcom star as deserving of pious send-off as Princess Diana.
I love it when celebrities fall apart.
Support for charities takes many forms. Some people give their money, some their spare time. I give my name and my voice. We give what we can to make a difference to the people and issues that matter to us. But what’s most important, especially for celebrities, is giving our genuine commitment.
Like 90 percent of Ivy League professors, Hollywood celebrities, and late-night TV hosts, the media are also all in for Obama’s ‘transformative change’ and ‘social justice.’ They’ve never met a race card slander they didn’t like.
Celebrities say they date other celebrities because they have the same job. But I think they just like dating famous people. Celebrities attract each other, like cattle.
I look forward to ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ every year because the format of the show is really nice – celebrities coming in and competing with each other. The main reason I do it is Madhuri Dixit. I am a big fan, and I sit next to her, so it’s like a dream.
Not all celebrities are dunces.
I’m better at talking to people than celebrities. It’s the thing I enjoy more, too.
In reading celebrities, public figures, their lives are on Google! So, obviously, there’s information about them.
In social networking sites, individuals hide their identities and indulge in individual attack on celebrities and others. It’s a wrong kind of politics.
Sometimes, when we dress celebrities, there are always loads of Twitters and things like that. When I wake up, I think, ‘Oh right, she wore it.’ You kind of always know where it’s going to be worn.
People tend to forget that celebrities are human beings. We live our lives. We try to do what we love, which is music. And to share it with everyone in our job usually is to entertain and to make people forget their troubles.
I don’t know any celebrities. I know a lot of people that most people have never heard of.
As an outsider, it appears that celebrities lead such a glamorous life but once you are a part of it, you realise the hard work hidden behind that glitz.
I know about various fictional and folkloric vampire mythoses the way other people know about the personal life of celebrities.
There have been a lot of crossover with celebrities and politics but to me, I don’t think I would go into politics.
The ice bucket challenge went viral in 2014, partly because it was so much fun to watch videos of celebrities or friends dumping ice water on their heads. Videos of people in the challenge have been watched more than 10 billion times on Facebook – more than once per person on the planet.
But it kills me, this fascination with celebrities’ personal lives.
I’m not an activist per se, but I have strong feelings about things. People can jump on celebrities for being ill-informed or naive, but I’ve got a right to say what I believe.
I noticed when most celebrities pass, they really don’t have nothing set up for their children.
The American people don’t believe politicians. They don’t believe business leaders or Hollywood celebrities or athletes or other supposed role models. And they certainly don’t believe the news media.
Celebrities are just like us and like any of your friends. I love working with people.
Celebrities, even insignificant ones like me, are created to be abused by the Great Unwashed.
I’ll make a general comment about this whole dependence on ‘celebrities.’ I object to this situation as it is right now, where they have inadvertently or manipulatively become the spokespeople for the African continent.
The deepest mystery of Twitter is why celebrities and elected officials take part. After all, we all know they can’t write their own lines.
I grew up with Scientology – my parents at one point were clerical. It’s a pragmatic philosophy, not merely a belief system. Yeah, it’s had media exposure because certain luminaries do Scientology, but millions of people do it who are not celebrities. It’s not a threat or some cult.
Celebrities know I’m not looking for a ‘gotcha’ moment. I don’t want to be Barbara Walters who you come to when you first check out of rehab. I want to be the person who brings a superfan from Iowa to meet you because we love you.
For so long, I have been an outsider because of my size. And I think that fashion has always, in some way, catered to celebrities or to a thinner idealistic model.
I don’t date celebrities.
Gawking at one-time celebrities who, for whatever reason, end up performing jobs our culture deems a mark of failure is gross, but hardly a new thing.
People are earning their living as ‘celebrities’ without actually doing anything.
I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.
What’s that show? ‘TMZ’? They stand there and say, ‘I’ve got this on this person.’ The focus on celebrities can be detrimental because people could be thinking of other things, but it’s a part of the culture and it’s what sells.
Celebrities meet a lot of people and we just can’t maintain them all in our fuddled brains.
Amazing how the White House, celebrities and gun control groups happen to repeatedly push for new initiatives in an organized fashion at the same time.
It is immensely motivating to be given so much love and appreciation on IMDb, which is the biggest database for movies and celebrities in the world.
One thing I love is that I don’t have a lot of people running around Hollywood saying ‘I’ve had her,’ because guys love to talk, especially about celebrities.
Many politicians, celebrities, businessmen and women, and community leaders now are open about their struggles with mental illnesses, something almost unheard of when I began. Together, we are spreading the word that mental health affects all of us and deserves our support and attention.
Celebrities, the beach, and Coachella, that’s what everyone thinks about when they think of Los Angeles. Then you see these people living in Bel-Air and Beverly Hills, and they’re so chic and have so much style.
Hats are for life’s ultimate moments. They’re worn at races, at weddings. Occasions many of us, who aren’t royals and celebrities, only attend once or twice in a lifetime.
Celebrities are the fodder of much of the media business, so they’re always interested in making you seem provocative when you’re not, or trying to bring you some sort of embarrassment by revealing something you’d rather not have revealed. That’s the downside of celebrity.
While celebrities with large online followings certainly help to spread a campaign message quickly, they don’t make an entire movement. I was strategic in obtaining influencer participation, but I also was intentional in finding ways to mobilise organic grassroots support.
People on Twitter can follow tech if they’re interested in tech, or business if they’re interested in business, or they can follow celebrities that they’re fans of.
I understand a lot of celebrities lose weight because they have the opportunity to get in shape and become healthier, but when you get so polished, you can’t tell the story of a blue-collar family anymore.
It’s hard to find normal celebrities.
You have to live in order to have something to write about – you get caught up in moviemaking and celebrities and money, and it’s very intoxicating, but it doesn’t give you what you need as a writer. You have to do something else for that.
I would love to be on Broadway. I would love to do a three-month run, similar to how celebrities do a three-month run on ‘Chicago.’ Something like that would be awesome. So, I’m putting it out there.
It struck me that what I’d heard about certain celebrities was true: they had It, whatever the hell It was. Star power isn’t a myth; it is tangible and forceful.
I’ll turn on the TV or look at a magazine, and it’s like, ‘Who is this person?’ And you find out they are from ’16 and Pregnant,’ and I’m like, ‘Really? They’re celebrities now?’ You read about them on the news having fights and breakups, and I think, ‘Well, of course.’
I feel I’m really glad I don’t look like the celebrities out there who are beautiful, because there are a lot of stereotypes attached to that.
I’m obsessed with celebrities and fame. I always will be.
Ask me a question about paparazzi, and I get so heated. And I feel so bad for young kids of celebrities. My nieces and nephews get yelled at, and I’m like, ‘You are yelling at a 2-year-old.’
When Scorsese or Coppola cast celebrities in their work, it goes without question.
When I was a kid, I’d read about celebrities who didn’t want to talk to their fans after a show. I told myself, ‘That’s terrible, and I would never do that.’
I was lucky enough to have great mentors both in the culinary world and in the world of chefs who became celebrities. Bobby Flay is one of my dearest friends and a tremendous mentor for me. Mario Batali is the same way. They began doing TV a little before me and they showed me the way.
Just like everybody else, celebrities have brains and those brains get conditions – addiction, depression.
It’s great to see that celebrities can be just like us – that they too have their highs and lows, that they don’t always wake up looking their best, that they have bad habits and annoying traits.
For too long, I equated leadership with a position. I thought leaders were presidents or politicians or celebrities or four-star generals with a horse and sword.
When I stepped into the industry, I was dealt this bizarre persona of being this sarcastic fashionista ‘it girl’ who is friends with loads of celebrities. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Finding that people are searching for my name and work on IMDb, which is the biggest data base for movies and celebrities in the world, is immensely special and motivating.
I had gone from writing alone, not talking to anyone, to suddenly being in a room filled with not only people but actual celebrities.
People associate pageants with glamour, where there are celebrities walking on the ramp wearing beautiful gowns, heels and make-up – but that’s just one aspect.
I’m a lawyer who, on occasion, represents celebrities.
When ‘Entourage’ came out, there wasn’t Twitter or any of this access to celebrities. ‘Entourage,’ for me, let you inside of a world that nobody really knew about.
It’s always fun to put fake celebrities in unlikely situations, but somehow it’s even more fun when politicians are involved.
I’m not one of those celebrities that will just put my name on something and expect to get a check.
Not only have individual politicians and celebrities personally condemned your automobiles for being too messy, noisy, and harmful to the common good, but they’ve tried to affect the natural market through taxes on larger vehicles along with incentives and quotas for ‘greener’ cars.
I always teach celebrities, all my life.
One of the downsides of being famous is that folks pay far more attention to you than they should. American celebrities are constantly under surveillance, and every word they say is subject to scrutiny. So, be careful what you wish for if you desire fame. No human being should be a goldfish.
The Latinos were doing the five-name thing long before celebrities made it cool. We’ve been doing things like Antonio Ricardo Luis Raoul Hector Rivera for a while now.
It’s interesting how the view from abroad can shift and remake perceptions of homegrown celebrities, the ones who are part of the gross domestic product.
At that time of the supermodels, celebrities didn’t want to be in fashion; they thought they were more intellectual and interesting than anyone in fashion.
Whether it is sensitising people to social issues, campaigning for causes or being part of fund-raisers, celebrities can go a long way in reaching out to people.
Actors are seen as celebrities, but they’re just real people with families.
When I was child, I was intoxicated by celebrities, showbiz and theatre, but from a child’s perspective, where they seem far away.
Reality TV has blown away the need for a roster of familiar faces in films. Plus, films became franchise and didn’t need stars. But the real difference between stars and celebrities is that stars have training and talent, and celebrities just have exposure.
The power of celebrity backing has been crucial. I would say that 90 percent of our brand recognition comes from celebrities wearing my pieces.
Celebrities and ‘famous’ people are just regular folks. I know, it’s a shocking and potentially dangerous statement.
Britain has lots of celebrities who are well known and admired today, but we don’t seem to have any heroes.
People say a lot of mess about celebrities. In the social media world, celebrities are able to go online and see nice things and horrible things written about them – but these people on the Internet wouldn’t have the guts to say it to their face.
I’m here to fight for the re-education of what celebrity is: to say, ‘Yes, we are celebrities, but yes, we’re also innovators. We’re also inventors. We’re also thoughtful.’
There are so many cameras. There is so much instant media attention, not just for celebrities, but for normal people that get thrust in the reality world.
We live in the Facebook era. I think everyone, not just celebrities, have an unprecedented level of self-awareness, of presenting yourself to the world. The truth is, it starts with how you look, and that goes into how you dress.
There’s no way I can represent for everyone. I can’t represent for all women or all big women or all black women. It’s important for people not to make celebrities their source of who they should be in life. I can’t take on the pressure of being perfect. Nobody is.
They never ask the celebrities why they don’t wear their own clothes on the red carpet.
I get the hypocrisy thing, but any human being is allowed to have a public and private face, and celebrities should have the same rights as regular people to decide what cards they lay down and what cards they hide.
When I first drove my car down Sunset Strip, I nearly crashed my car gazing at the monolithic ads of various celebrities. They are bigger than King Kong, and more frightening.
It’s a hard thing for me to wrap my mind around the C word: celebrity. Rock stars are celebrities because they’re larger than life. As an actor, you have to play the everyman and the everygirl. If you start treating people in the real world like assistants, that’s not a good look. But my friends keep me grounded.
Hopefully celebrities will resist the allure of advertising e-cigarettes in magazines, and also in movies, knowing that their endorsement have a powerful effect on teenagers.
The truth is black celebrities are not as sought after in the press as white celebrities, and that is comforting.
Some celebrities like to get behind water conservation or helping the homeless get back on their feet. Me? Body grooming control: that’s what I like to step behind 100 percent.
Celebrities become divas because they get pampered so much, babied so much – then they get used to it.
I am not a celebrity. I work with celebrities, and it is very difficult. When a celebrity wears a dress, it’s good for business, so brands fight for the red carpet. Me? I don’t like it, because fashion becomes a job about dressing celebrities. And it’s a bit boring.
Faviana is a line that girls can feel super-glamorous in. A lot of their designs are kind of based off of what celebrities wear on the red carpet!
Even celebrities, most people have a sense of humor. Most of the people we meet who we’ve done on the show, like it.
I don’t live in Hollywood. I don’t have celebrities as friends. I like them, but I don’t pal around with them. I just live in the Midwest, a real normal world.
I think people are interested in celebrities because it’s easy, disposable entertainment and it’s fun escapism.
The meteoric rise of the ‘wellness’ industry online has launched an entire industry of fitness celebrities on social media. Millions of followers embrace their regimens for diet and exercise, but increasingly, the drive for ‘wellness’ and ‘clean eating’ has become stealthy cover for more dieting and deprivation.
‘Vanity Fair’ caught me at a very exciting time in my life filled with night clubs, international fashion shows, celebrities and lots of cash to go around. Sometimes things just fall into place. ‘Vanity Fair’ was one of those things.
There’s a tendency for people to think that celebrities do whatever they want, spend whatever they want, and it’s completely out of control. While some of that may be true, I’ve never met a celebrity who threw caution to the wind and thought they could do anything. That’s not the thought process.
Leonardo DiCaprio is a rare phenomenon. Whereas for so many celebrities an interest in the environment is a fashionable accessory, for DiCaprio it is a thread that runs through everything he does.
Fame has sent a number of celebrities off the deep end, and in the case of Michael Jackson, to the kiddy pool.
I don’t think we should judge celebrities for doing charity work. Period. Whatever their reasons for doing it, they are shedding light on issues that would otherwise go unnoticed.
IMDb publishes the actual dates of birth of thousands of actors without their consent, most of them not celebrities but rank-and-file actors whose names are unknown to the general public.
New Zealand has this funny attitude towards celebrities where we’re not so impressed. We are secretly impressed, but we never want to show it, so we’re not sycophantic about it.
The public aren’t stupid, they know that celebrities are getting paid to promote. I don’t want to influence young women to do or buy something that I don’t feel passionate about, just so I get paid for it.
If a terrorist group wanted to hit Britain, all they’d have to do is kill 100 random celebrities. The country would have a nervous breakown.
There is a wall of myth around royals and A-list celebrities, and that makes us wonder what they are really like. We see them on magazine covers so often that we think we know them intimately, and we want to learn more. I like to burst that bubble a little.
When I was going through my chemotherapy, I realized not many people are willing to talk about cancer, even after getting fully cured. Celebrities and educated people are also very protective and private about it. I still haven’t understood why. I decided to fight my battle out in the public.
I’ve written enough books with real celebrities, such as Walter Payton and Hank Aaron and Billy Graham, to know that fame looks good only to people who don’t have it.
All of us, whether or not we’re celebrities, every one ought to spend part of their life making someone else’s life better.
Not only did I get to play with these great international musicians, but I also had the opportunity to jam with the local celebrities in Toronto, people like the Walsh Brothers, David Wilcox, Kim Mitchell and the like. It was a great learning experience.
If the first year of the Trump administration has made anything clear, it’s that experience, knowledge, education and political wisdom matter tremendously. Governing is something else entirely from campaigning. And perhaps, most important, celebrities do not make excellent heads of state.
I don’t think I am especially interested in celebrities, but I love talking about what is going on with people and why they do what they do.
In every relationship there will be a person who’s the dominating character. That doesn’t mean that celebrities don’t marry or that they don’t get a partner.
I remember how, back in the 1980s, the Scottish Flow Country became an object of bemused controversy as rich celebrities and businessmen from south of the border acquired great tracts of this vast wetland in the far north in order to plant non-native conifer plantations that attract hefty tax breaks.
Every celebrity has become a celebrity because of sex and money. But few celebrities like talking about either sex or money; they would rather talk about ideas, or ideals, or solving the world’s problems – all against a backdrop of sex and money.
I guess I did get a good perspective on how ridiculous it is that people think celebrities are important just by the nature of them being known by people.
I grew up knowing the pros and cons of the business and knowing what comes with pursuing what you love in terms of being in the public eye. I also grew up among people that were considered celebrities and people that people admired.
Hanson is not the pop band that a lot of people think we are. I think we’re a lot more rooted in a lot of music history… we’re songwriters, we’re singers, we’re players first. We’re not entertainers, we’re not celebrities, and frankly, we don’t really want to be.
I found a great trainer in Miami with Dodd Romero, who’s worked with a lot of celebrities and athletes. We built a good program for me for training and for me to work on my nutrition and things like that.
‘Confessions of a Video Vixen’ is not a book about my encounters with celebrities, or anyone else for that matter. It is my life story, thus far, which just so happens to include some people you may have heard of.
When you see celebrities say, ‘I hope the economy bottoms out to get rid of Trump,’ I think that helps Trump.
I’m always suspicious of celebrities that write about their lives.
I’m not really good at fun-to-know, human interest stuff. We’re not ‘celebrities’, whose life itself is a performance. Good or bad or ugly, we are our words. They’re what people meet.
I’ve learned through experience that to trouble celebrities with my handshake doesn’t do anybody any good.
In 2003, I wrote a New York Times best-seller called ‘Shut Up & Sing,’ in which I criticized celebrities like the Dixie Chicks & Barbra Streisand who were trashing then-President George W. Bush. I have used a variation of that title for more than 15 years to respond to performers who sound off on politics.
There’s only one thing more embarrassing than the celebrities talking about politics; and that’s politicians talking about anything other than politics.
The mountain music… is compelling music in its own right, harking back to a time when music was a part of everyday life and not something performed by celebrities.
It is very sad about Michael Jackson, much as in the tragic cases of Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole and other celebrities who have died are a result of drugs. It is always sad when such a bright light goes out.
Celebrities are under pressure to perform all the time. You are in front of a camera all the time, and it is difficult to lead a life in the world of glamour.
Celebrities have been using MySpace since the site’s launch and it’s a natural extension for us to now offer them an aggregated channel where they can be in control of their own image.
It was really my grandmother who was the biggest influence because she’d talk back to the celebrities and politicians on TV. She was a combination of Joan Rivers, Elaine Stritch, Betty White, and Bea Arthur rolled into one.
I think there is something about social media now where people are more engaged with their celebrities and their sports stars than ever before.
I’m fat, and I support fat celebrities, like Oprah.
Snooki and Honey Boo Boo. These are big celebrities in the U.S. You want to throw up.
Being on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is an amazing opportunity. I consider myself lucky to be a part of the show and to be able to share my passion and love of dance with such a huge audience while managing to train a few celebrities in ballroom dance along the way.
I could have been like so many other bloggers or ‘influencers’ who just have their agent and are more like celebrities, but I’ve never wanted it to be only like that. Of course, I still want that part in my life, but I also wanted to create a brand.
Celebrities need to be talking to the people who are their greatest fans.
People talk to me about celebrities all the time and which ones do I admire, and it’s so hard because you can’t tell who’s doing it for themselves and who hired a stylist.
I hate these reality TV shows where people walk off Big Brother and think they’re A-list celebrities when they’ve done nothing in their lives, it really does my head in.
I don’t pay attention to celebrities. I don’t photograph them. They don’t dress so… interestingly. They have stylists. I prefer real women who have their own taste.
I mean, my dad is half-Armenian, his father is 100%, and I actually think he has Armenian citizenship. Apparently, the Kardashians and me are the big celebrities over in Armenia.
The influencer strategy hasn’t been built around celebrities. We’re looking for influencers within every marketplace, who are the people who help influence decision-makers within that community.
Time makes heroes but dissolves celebrities.
I often find myself worrying about celebrities. It’s an entirely caring thing; it’s not like the people who commission those photographs with cruel arrows to go on the covers of the celebrity magazines. The photographs show botched plastic surgery, raging eczema, weight gain and horrible clothes for maximum schadenfreude.
It’s interesting when people make comments about celebrities’ weight gain or lack of weight gain as if they’re a medical professional that’s treating that celebrity. Like, ‘This doctor does not treat Jessica Simpson, but thinks her weight is unhealthy.’ If you don’t treat her, then how do you know?
I think there is much more queer visibility than there was when I was a kid. There is marriage, more trans visibility, and many more celebrities who are open about the sexuality. This was so not the case when I was a kid.
Celebrities who lend their names to causes to raise lot of money for important issues should be admired and not marginalized and made fun of.
I wouldn’t want to be remembered as the guy who contaminated a perfectly legitimate form of protest art with money and celebrities.
There are certain things that ordinary people have that celebrities don’t have.
I haven’t had a lot of celebrities around me growing up.
I’ve never had a celebrity crush! I don’t believe in those, really. I feel like you have to get to know the person before you start to feel anything like that. People always think they know celebrities, but how can you when you’ve never met them?
The fact that the public are mesmerised by Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and all these miserable people makes me laugh because those celebrities are more miserable than the people reading about them for escapism.
There is such little tolerance for women on the national stage who don’t agree with the hosts of ‘The View’ or celebrities who march with Planned Parenthood.
I have never done Cult TV before, the convention was good. It gives the fans a chance to meet the celebrities. Connect with the guy that used to be a bunch of coloured dots on your TV screen.
Celebrities say the darnedest things.
If you pay close attention, you’ll notice we continually hear about basically the same 150 celebrities.
Journalists have made celebrities into an industry.
I am down-to-earth and not one of those starry, up-their-own-butt celebrities.
I haven’t hypnotised a whole lot of celebrities, because they’re fearful of it.
Celebrities can suffer a horrible loneliness even though they have millions of fans. I started doing meditations because I realized that a spiritual path was necessary.
Personal technology has given us the freedom of being able to do whatever we want – and in the case of celebrities and athletes, whomever they want. But it can also serve as a humiliation jetpack.
I definitely think people think celebrities have it easy. I think they have it twice as hard as someone going to a nine-to-five sitting in an office because they can keep their private life to themselves.
Most celebrities are not going to admit they had work done.
When you are part of a massive TV show like Strictly,’ it’s not just about the professional dancers and celebrities taking part, there could be young or old people out there who are watching and they might also be inspired to take up dancing, and I find that so special.
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 date celebrities.
Often I go to book festivals and they just turn authors into celebrities.’
People think that celebrities are this untouchable thing, and they forget that we’re people with emotions and feelings. They don’t realize that it affects us when they comment on pictures on Instagram or Twitter, saying mean things, just as it would affect anybody.
American mass media culture, with its celebrities, shopping hysteria, sound bites, formulaic plots, received ideas, and nauseating repetitions, depresses me.
Though I do believe that when you live in political times it is inevitable that your art be political, I also think we need to start making activists celebrities rather than trying to make celebrities to be activists.
The Beatles in 1963 came to America and became international celebrities, but Bobby Fischer was one of the first, as Elvis was, more in terms of the message created around him.
I’m actually one of the more reluctant celebrities you will ever meet.
Part of our job as quote-unquote ‘celebrities’ is that we can gather people around things that are important. I think it should be a requisite – there should be a clause in the contract that you have to give back.
I get on Facebook, and I love it. Then one day, I get a message that says, ‘Your account has been deleted.’ I click on the link to see why it was deleted, and it says, ‘Your account has been suspended because members are not allowed to impersonate celebrities.’
What celebrities hope is that people identify not so much that they’re particularly special or different, but they identify with them. We represent life in general, the guy who does whatever.
I liked movers and shakers more than celebrities. I wasn’t that interested in celebrities. I grew up without a TV.
I don’t look to celebrities for style anymore because I’ve learned the chain of command. They are being dressed by a stylist who’s getting inspiration from a 16-year-old kid running the streets of Melbourne, Australia. Once I learned that chain of command, I just started taking it to the streets.
The celebrities that really protect their skin and look great, whether they’re wearing makeup or not, are Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Alba and Jessica Chastain.
I’m a portrait photographer that’s used to shooting celebrities, and I usually need time and all kinds of lights and a studio to set up my shots.
We celebrities have stiff upper-lips.
What has to be understood is that most whistle-blowers are not natural activists – this one certainly wasn’t. We usually work in anonymous jobs, far from the spotlight. We are not campaigners, or journalists, or wannabe celebrities, craving a platform. Our conscience tells us we have to reveal what we know.
A lot of celebrities love cars, and because they have the money, they get involved in the car world.
I never really looked up to celebrities when I was young.
I have a no-kids policy on my website, meaning I won’t publish paparazzi photos of celebrity children. I’ll only post photos that celebrities themselves share on social media, or if the kids are photographed at a red carpet event.
A lot of celebrities have a sense of humor, and combined with an outrageous event, sometimes the sky’s the limit!
I’d like to take more pictures of real celebrities. It would be fabulous to photograph Brad Pitt. He’s so good-looking and just such a star.
Humshakals totally exist. In fact, I was on one of these social networking websites, and I noticed that there is this entire research done on Hollywood celebrities who look like each other.
Some girls get swept up in the lifestyle – clubbing and partying with celebrities. You can’t live your life like that, though. It’s fake.
Even on the red carpet, French celebrities keep it minimal. Think of Charlotte Gainsbourg – the look can be quite undone.
In my ministry, I’ve been fortunate to privately advise many national leaders, celebrities and people of unusual influence.
I’m as skeptical as anyone would be about celebrities and causes – and I will dare to say to you that I don’t think of myself as a celebrity per se.
Too many people have already lost their lives to HIV and AIDS, and the more celebrities who can bring attention to the issue, the better.
We’ve gotten to do so many great things throughout the years. We’ve gotten to meet presidents. We’ve been able to go to so many wonderful awards shows and meet so many great celebrities.
I don’t feel I ask anything of anybody else that I wouldn’t give up myself. I don’t think the things I ask are particularly shocking, and I don’t think I approach celebrities from the point of view of being a polished journalist.
I see my shows like Gandhi, and I’ve got little baby Gandhis, and they are changing the world. I know that I’m a bit delusional about that, but I do think of them like Gandhi. They are not celebrities: they are like Gandhi and Mother Teresa.
It used to frustrate me when I’d get celebrities on my shows and I had to meet them as this ludicrous magician character rather than as myself.
We at Hoods Up aren’t just about celebrities. I am a huge fan of a lot of artists and actors, although I don’t feel it is necessary to put it on them to help sell the brand. It would an honor if anyone were to wear it, celebrity or not.
Because of reality television and all these celebrities thinking they can be designers, everyone imagines that they can just become a designer, photographer, or model, but that’s not the way things work. People have to go to school, learn their craft, and build a brand – that’s the right, healthy way to do things.
I mean, the media and bloggers may say otherwise, but in reality I have a lot of fans because I’m the only celebrity that actually takes time out to call them and talk to them. I don’t think a lot of celebrities do that.
Social media lacks insight, common sense, and emotion. Understand that while it’s easy to condemn celebrities on social media, people should also think of repercussions their insensitive remarks can make on the celebrities’ family.
The industry has died as far as modeling has gone, and I’ll tell you why. Magazines are featuring the Halle Berrys and Sarah Jessica Parkers, all the actresses. Makeup companies are featuring all the celebrities. All the models have died.
As women, and as people, we’re often forced to choose between pop culture and tearing down celebrities or a show about politics.
Troubled celebrities are a dime a dozen.
A lot of people think that celebrities are fake, and a couple of them are.
We’ve always wanted to do things with kids with the surprise element that we do with celebrities, because their reactions are fantastic and sweet and charming and lovely.
A lot of celebrities can raise money for you if you are running for political office.
It’s a big thing now: A lot of people want to be assistants to celebrities. If you’re pursuing that, you’re an idiot. You’re a moron. The shortest distance between two points is not a celebrity, or being next to a celebrity.
I’m an equal-opportunity critic when it comes to left-wing celebrities sounding off on topics of which they know precious little.
I think for a while magazines were using celebrities and it’s really coming back to the age of the supermodel and models having a name and having a voice and it’s refreshing.
Apart from being celebrities, there’s a huge amount of respect associated with being cricketers and a certain amount of reverence and honour associated with representing India. In people’s eyes, apart from other celebrities in India, I think for sportsmen in India there’s a certain amount of regard.
When I interview celebrities, I always try to throw them off balance. My favorite is to ask ’em about crazy sex stuff like donkey punches and Monroe transfers. Works every time.
We are not a TV station that only concentrate on those who are always under light. We are not a TV station for celebrities and for grand politicians and superstars. We are a TV station for the ordinary person. The normal people, ordinary people in the Arab world sees Al Jazeera as their voice.
I kind of understand now why people freak out when they see celebrities that they love, because that’s how I feel about every single Muppet.
In dealing with athletes or celebrities or people in general, I think there’s a tendency to get on their pedestal or their platform and just kind of blow the ink.
I developed a deep sadness for celebrities, a pity that they often are caught in a plastic world that runs too hard and too fast, and that many times that world means destroyed relationships with everyone they know and love.
I have been very successful in handling people who hurl abuse simply by being patient. Ignoring them is the best policy because afterwards, it’s the fans that criticise these so-called celebrities for their bad conduct.
Forget worrying about the break-up of celebrities you don’t even know. I have long since given up trying to figure out why even my closest friends split up.
Howie Mandel is my favorite. He’s so friendly, and he’s a family man. For a lot of celebrities, to keep a genuineness about them, I think, can be tough, but he really seems to work hard to do that.
Even the best teams can fail. Celebrities can fade. There is only One in whom your faith is always safe, and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. And you need to let your faith show!
I think celebrities suck.
In Boston, they love their sports celebrities. And it’s great.
In America, celebrities who go to see your show will come backstage and introduce themselves. Meeting Annette Bening and Ethan Hawke that way was amazing, but when Tom Hanks came, it was really special – I’ve loved him since I first saw him in ‘Big!’
Celebrities have a platform, and people listen to them. And there’s a lot of people that we are able to touch, who aren’t watching activists and aren’t watching the news, that are watching what celebrities say.
I mean, look at the people we celebrate – a lot of people who really don’t do anything. They just walk the red carpets and go to all the parties, and they’re hooked up with the right people, so they’re celebrities. But what for?
The pro athlete is a sad tale. He signs a big contract and thinks he’s set for life. I didn’t think I was set for life, and I don’t now. As athletes, we are important, celebrities, in demand and rich. Then we are out of the game and we are not important, not celebrities, not in demand and not rich.
Time’s Up is finally, it would seem, activism with some teeth. It isn’t perfect, however. One of the first acts of protest – urging celebrities to wear black to awards shows – reveals a worrisome willingness to keep lunging toward those lazy, meaningless and empty gestures that cheapen the seriousness of an issue.
I think it’s really important for celebrities to use their power of money and fame to get their voices out there. It’s funny to me that we’re expected to keep quiet just because of who we are. Why do I lose my right to speak my mind because I’m famous?
I like celebrities. I love people who are famous. Always have.
‘TableTop’ is packed with gaming celebrities and independent game creators. This is a huge subculture that really doesn’t have a vehicle to rally around or educate people with.
I think celebrities have an obligation to the public to not just sing or act.
For so long Versace couture was identified with celebrities and music, which I love. But at the same time it could overwhelm the clothes.
I’m not on Facebook. I’m not on Twitter. I know a lot of celebrities who go around complaining how little privacy they have. And then my question to that is always, ‘Well, how much of yourself are you putting out there?’
I think sometimes celebrities can hurt a candidate. You don’t want people to judge them on your last project.
Celebrities and ‘famous’ people are just regular folks. I know, it’s a shocking and potentially dangerous statement.
Celebrities have nothing to do with style.
Think about how much fashion profits from black culture and how underrepresented we are in the industry. If you insist on using black celebrities to peddle your merchandise and add a cool factor to your front row, it is indecent to not care about the plights of that person’s community.
I know I have one of the best jobs in the world. These days, models are allowed to have bigger personalities and be celebrities on their own.
I lead a very quiet life and never court publicity. I don’t go to a restaurant and let slip I’m leaving by the back door, like some celebrities.
Our perception of celebrities in Hollywood is not the reality. The reality of our lives is so much like everyone else’s life. We have family members we love, everyone gets up in the morning, they have three meals a day and they go about their business.
They didn’t act like people and they didn’t act like actors. It’s hard to explain. They acted more like they knew they were celebrities and all. I mean they were good, but they were too good.
Don’t put celebrities up on this pedestal. We are human beings.
What bothers me about red carpet, particularly Cannes, is that it’s an extremely important festival where stunning films are shown and nothing of that ever comes in papers. It’s always celebrities standing with one hand on waist, I don’t know who decided that as an attractive position.
There are a lot of perks when you’re an actor. Free food at work was my second favorite in the beginning, but my first was the weird stuff. Like seeing celebrities in no makeup and finding out what they ate.
A lot of celebrities promote their films to entertainment reporters and feel like they need to entertain them.
I’m not going to pretend that I’m something I’m not just because society says celebrities should be these perfect people that have to act a certain way.
When you’re talking about people like Shonda Rhimes, Vince Gilligan or Beau Willimon, you’re talking to people who are notable and celebrities in their own right. People want to know how their brains work.
I wish that more of the celebrities, who are multi-millionaires, probably, are able to say to themselves, ‘Wow, my communities are under attack, and I need to give back to my community.’
I mean, my dad is half-Armenian, his father is 100%, and I actually think he has Armenian citizenship. Apparently, the Kardashians and me are the big celebrities over in Armenia.
I represent celebrities, but I am not a celebrity.
My favorite subject was English or creative writing. We did poems and making a magazine, and I did one on celebrities. I called it ‘Celebrity Life Magazine.’ I interviewed my good friend Kaley Cuoco.
It was getting very boring to watch celebrities all wearing the same dress.
Celebrities choose fame. Royals have it thrust on them.
When I was growing up, radio DJs were celebrities, not just the people singing the songs.
I had heard that in Bollywood, one gets publicity without even asking for it. There are new rumours every day and the celebrities involved get disturbed.
I don’t get starstruck by Hollywood celebrities as I’m not into films.
I don’t pay attention to celebrities. I don’t photograph them. They don’t dress so… interestingly. They have stylists. I prefer real women who have their own taste.
For celebrities, privacy is utterly nonexistent. You are asked intrusive questions about your personal life. You can be photographed at any moment.
There is no fact-checking on tertiary celebrities. You can say whatever you’d like, and it will just rise up again.
