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.
