You can’t hide behind a Michelin star.
And I enjoyed the celebrity and the creativity that was involved in Star Trek.
My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.
The biggest crime in England is to rise above your station. It’s fine to be a pop star. ‘Oh, it’s great, lots of fun, aren’t they sweet, these pop stars! But to think you have anything to say about how the world should work? What arrogance!’
No star is ever lost we once have seen, we always may be what we might have been.
If we can figure out how to give more Americans a shot in tech, a shot at the ordinary jobs that don’t necessarily afford rock star status or come with generous stock options but that can sustain middle-class life, then we might just take a step toward stitching our nation back together.
I had actually auditioned for a guest star role on ‘Legends of Tomorrow,’ and the show had the same casting director as ‘Riverdale.’
I mean, on the television, I’ve got to continue to be Star Jones Reynolds. And I enjoy that. But in my real life, I’m a wife now. You can’t really be bossy when you’re married.
When I found out this was going to be the last ‘Star Wars’ film that was ever going to be made, I felt pretty privileged to be in it.
One could not pluck a flower without troubling a star.
If you read my books, especially the Star Trek books and the Quest for Tomorrow books, you’ll see in them the core theme of the basic humanistic questions that Star Trek asked.
‘Star Wars’ is a galaxy a long time ago, far, far away. ‘Star Wars’ is not about our future.

I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I’m stuck with them.
At home, I’m not a rock star. I wear dad-appropriate attire. I drive a truck. And we go out to the mountains to light fires and have barbecues. Even then, The Killers are usually in the back of my mind.
Hitch your wagon to a star.
Ronald Reagan said that he sought a Star Wars defense only in order to share the technology with the tyrants of the U.S.S.R.
I’ve never seen one Star Trek in my whole life.

The Reagan years showed us that expanding economic freedom should be the North Star – the guiding light – of U.S. policy, because it is the best way to achieve sustained and broad-based prosperity for all.
What I think is cool about Fender, and what originally drew me to them, was the Fender electric guitar headstock, which I’ve never seen on another ukulele. I feel like a rock star when I’m tuning it.
Steve Jobs was a real rock star to me. I looked forward to his products like people look forward to albums.
I just feel, in life, I’m searching for something I can rely on, something that’s constant and something that’s going to guide me through. And I felt that the Northern Star is a very beautiful image of that.
In Australia, I didn’t think that there was much of a chance for me to become a singer – especially to become a K-pop star.
I had this dream, and I really wanted to be a star. And I was almost a monster in the way that I was really fearless with my ambitions.
Follow your own star!
If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you’ll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you’ll get to where you want to be.
He is a world star. Every fan would like to have Neymar in their team.
As far as my street cred goes, I’ll always have that, because I always hang with the kids. I’ll jump right off the stage and buy them a beer. I’ll be a star on stage, but I’ll always hang with the kids.
Acting in ‘Star Wars’ I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn’t even know who the cantaloupes were.
How do I feel about being a star now? Well I still try to live life and enjoy what I am doing.
J. Lo, whether she is good or bad, is like a fiery movie star, a throwback to Elizabeth Taylor in her heyday.
I began by listening to my mother’s collection of Amelita Galli-Curci and Lily Pons records, and then was taken (at age eight) to hear Pons at a Met performance of Lakme. It was at that moment that I decided to become an opera star. Not just an opera singer, but an opera star!
I’m not that beautiful, and I don’t want to be a pop star.
STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.
If you’d asked me when I was six, 16, and 26, I wanted nothing more than to be a big, recognized rock star. Especially when I was six and 16, because I thought that if I was a known guitar player in a known band, only cute girls would talk to me.
A lot of people got lost in Hollywood while trying to become a star. They lost themselves.
I have a daughter who’s 11 years old. Maybe she’ll grow up independent and really really heavy and become a movie star and she’ll play me in my life story.
I’m not trying necessarily to become a movie star; that wouldn’t be bad but that’s not the aim. I’m just trying to do interesting things and go into areas where I’ve not been before.
If I’m a star, then the people made me a star.
The success that Americans are said to worship is success of a specific sort: accomplished not through hard work, primarily, but through the ingenious angle, the big break. Sit down at a lunch counter, stand back up a star. Invest in a new issue and watch it soar. Split a single atom, win a war.
People say I owe a lot to television. The fact is I was a star long before television. What TV made me is unemployed.
The North Star has always been the same, which for us, is about making insanely great products that really change the world in some way – enrich people’s lives.
‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Star Wars’ shoved me into loving sci-fi and film in general when I was a barely coherent 3-year-old. And ‘Lord of the Rings’ took me to another planet entirely. Before that series, I knew I loved writing, but after, I knew that I had to write.
It’s like people call me a rock star or this or that. And I go, ‘Don’t call me that. I don’t think of myself in those terms. If you have to call me anything, call me a chameleon.
We had some very distinguished fans: I know one chancellor of a major university who used to schedule his meetings around Star Trek. We were thrilled to discover that Frank Sinatra was a big fan.

I think the potential for man is so enormous, if we can stay alive long enough, we’re going to be seeing a lot of what Star Trek is projecting.

I think that Star Wars revolutionized not only sci-fi movies, but also the entire industry in the way that things are done.
One of the first movies my dad took me to see was the original ‘Road Warrior.’ And I was kind of raised on the action movies of that era: ‘The Terminator’ and ‘Die Hard’ and, of course, all of the ‘Star Wars’ movies.
Home Star is a common sense idea that would create jobs and provide a boost to local economies, while helping families afford their energy bills. By encouraging homeowners to invest in energy efficiency retrofits, Home Star would create 170,000 manufacturing and construction jobs that could not be outsourced to China.
If a star or studio chief or any other great movie personages find themselves sitting among a lot of nobodies, they get frightened – as if somebody was trying to demote them.
Real elation is when you feel you could touch a star without standing on tiptoe.
Being a star is an agent’s dream, not an actor’s.
My father was always very interested in space. I watch Star Trek and all those things, but I always had a different picture in my mind… maybe closer to Alien. I don’t see it in space as much as I do see it in different planets, with each having its own strange characters.
It’s never been important to be a huge star or to have some breakout role. If you’re the lead, you get a lot more screen time and you get a lot more chances to develop that character more thoroughly than you would if you do it in a little supporting part.
I never walked the streets of New York hoping to be a musical comedy star. For one thing, they would have thought I was too tall, because l was five feet eight and a half, and they were all little bitty things running around in the studio at that time.
And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they’re going to go and see the story you’re in.
