I used to get some ego thing out of saying I wasn’t a star, just an actress. Forget it. I’m a star. I wanted it. I worked for it. I got it.
My goal all along has just been to work and support myself. I’ve been really lucky to walk away from the ‘Twilight’ series unscathed. Somebody asked me recently what it’s like to be a star. I thought that was the strangest question. If you saw my day-to-day life, the word ‘star’ just doesn’t apply.
My star was kind of fading towards the end of the ’60s and suddenly I got this call from Fellini, who just appeared to kind of love me!
George Lucas doesn’t have the most physical stamina. He was so unhappy making Star Wars that he just vowed he’d never do it again.
Years ago, when I first started being a big star, I had fans that were fanatical. It was when ‘Jolene’ was a big hit.
‘Star Trek’ was an attempt to say humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in lifeforms.
My 91-year-old great-grandma would get out of her chair and whip me if I start acting like I’m some star or something like that.
I recently found out about this other super movie star. He only works from about 11:00 to 4:00, so all his movies take like 120 days. But this was a lot of stuff to do in 35 days.
I have a hotline to the tabloids. When I get up in the morning, I call the Star, and the last thing at night, I call them. I want them to have the inside track.
For me, Glasgow is all about the people and the spirit of the place. You have enough Gregg’s bakers, though, I’ll say that. The opening of the 1977 ‘Star Wars’ movie was possibly the only time I’ve seen a longer queue round the block than in Glasgow for sausage rolls. That was quite an eye-opener.
I am a tremendous ‘Star Wars’ fan; I know the story means an enormous love to me. I love the characters.
I would rather be a security guard than a rock star.
The star, the person who’s on the mic, always gets seen.
‘Friends’ was a true ensemble. There really was no star of the show.
A movie star is not an artist, he is an art object.
It’s a tough life being a pop star. You know, at the end of the day when you’ve paid all the bills and put the kids through college and that, you know, there’s only enough left for a small island off the South Pacific.
I don’t know if I was a star. I was certainly working a lot and that was strange because there were good things about it and things that were difficult.
The fans make the person a star.
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
I’m not a star, and I don’t want to be a star. Stars fall. I’m an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job.
I love to listen to pop music and I admire people who do that, but I don’t think I would ever be a very good pop star. I always leave that singing voice for the shower! I wouldn’t put it out in the world!
If I could live a parallel life, I would be a sitcom star; being in front of a live audience would be great.
The end of the animal trade would leave more time to trap or beat to death pop star wannabes.
No, I ain’t a star – I’m just a kid from Brooklyn, living his dream.
