Listen to Your Heart’ was a blank slate. Yeah, there was this outside idea of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ meets ‘A Star Is Born,’ but what does that mean? You have to actually define that, make it happen.
I’m the star of the show. I should have a decent haircut.
If a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved… or star in a movie.
Most movie-goers are overdosing on star coverage; it’s the ultimate example of too much information.
When you become a star, you don’t change – everyone else does.
I think, actually, any morality system that rewards only the extremes is a flawed system. Players don’t approach life that way, they don’t approach games that way, and they shouldn’t be trained to approach games that way. They shouldn’t be in the ‘Star Wars’ mode where, ‘I’ve got to choose every good option.’
An ordinary black hole is thought to be the end state of a really massive star’s life.
From that first wage case in 1958, I had, pretty much, rock star status.
And now it looks like I’m probably going to shoot a movie that I wrote. I got the money to do it, and I would star and all, because of being on Howard.
I needed to become something besides the star everybody had built me up to be.
I don’t have real big aspirations to be a movie star. I would love to be on a long-running hit TV show. You end up playing a defining role.
I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn’t care about any of it.
I really enjoy playing villains, whether they’re realistic like Switchblade Sam or whether they’re a bit more over-the-top like Kruge in ‘Star Trek III’ or Judge Doom in ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit.’ It’s sort of a license just to be as bad as the script allows you to be – you can just go for it and have fun.
It wasn’t a mission to be a rock star. It wasn’t a mission of mine to even be a movie star. I just intended to be a good actor.
I watched a lot of American TV, all those repeats of ‘Star Trek,’ ‘Fantasy Island,’ ‘M*A*S*H,’ ‘Lost in Space.’ All that stuff was the fodder of my childhood.
I don’t think I would live very long if I was a rock star.
I think the way the audience takes the Indian film-star is a little different from the way the audience takes the Western star there. We are considered like demi-gods here, and the reason is not because we are better or good, but because there is no other mode of entertainment in India.
Growing up on a farm was the best. I remember loving that expanse of space. The sky at night was so clear, I could see every star.
When you’re a guest star on TV shows – particularly in the 1960s – you’re always the villain.
When I went out on tour as Bing Hitler I would hook up with Lenny and we’d get drunk together. He was always very supportive. He was a big star and a lot of what he said to me had power and impact. Apart from that, I just like him.
All stars are businessmen. Once you decide to become a star, you are talking about money, fame, and being successful.
In order to be a star performer you have to have someone to play against.
Everyone wants to be a movie star or a model, to be in the papers, but few realise just what hard work it is, getting up early, and so on.
Queen songs are not about the life of a rock star – they tend to be about the lives of normal people, which is why I think the songs connect so much. We’re very lucky that they seemingly connect with every generation.
I don’t wanna be a rock star. I don’t believe in rock stars. If you really examine what goes with being a rock star, I’ve avoided that really well.
If you become a viral star, that is terrific!
There is no glory in star or blossom till looked upon by a loving eye; There is no fragrance in April breezes till breathed with joy as they wander by.
In the West, audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.
I want to be a star; yes, that’s everyone’s dream.
I didn’t want to be trapped in an idea of replicating other ‘Star Trek’ characters; especially Vulcans. But my love and I have Spock paraphernalia all over our house. He’s an omnipresence in our lives, we adore him.
I’d like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I’ll do that before I’m thirty.
The story being told in ‘Star Wars’ is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not.
That’s the beauty of being a straight-to-DVD star. It really helps you stay under the media’s radar.
I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years, but when you go back to the old life, it’s tough.
I was in sixth grade at Koko Head Elementary School in Honolulu, and was chosen to pin the 50th star on the American flag in front of my teachers and classmates at a special assembly to celebrate statehood.
I think that George Lucas’ ‘Star Wars’ films are fantastic. What he’s done, which I admire, is he has taken all the money and profit from those films and poured it into developing digital sound and surround sound, which we are using today.
I’d rather be a shooting star than a fading star.
I didn’t think I was a famous singer. I didn’t think I was a star or that I could make the waters part – just that singing was what I was going to do.
What about Mickey Mouse? Disney tried very hard to make him a star. But Mickey Mouse is more of a symbol than a real character.
Whenever I start feeling too arrogant about myself, I always take a trip to the U.S. The immigration guys kick the star out of my stardom.
My choice growing up was the ‘Star Wars’ role playing game. At that time in the Nineties, they had a pretty robust pen and paper system.
I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.
Winning an Oscar attracts the attention of directors and other actors and creates a boost in salary, particularly for someone like Halle Berry. For an established star like Denzel Washington, the benefits are less tangible.
If you have to have a job in this world, a high-priced movie star is a pretty good gig.
One of the reasons that I accepted, once asked to do Star Trek, was to give a single child a chance to see the long thought, to see themselves some 400 years hence. It occurred to me that we must ensure that we keep in front of children the ever-changing horizon.
Don’t worry about being a star, worry about doing good work, and all that will come to you.
I do genre films because I like them or because I need the money. I make a star’s salary when I do horror because I can still open a movie in Italy or Spain or Germany.
I want to speak directly with a star, not her stylist.
I try to get out to The Skelligs, and people will know The Skelligs from ‘Star Wars’ and so forth, but they really are the most incredible monastic settlement on this island off the south coast, the Kerry coast.
‘Star Wars’ is my heart. I love it.
The first week Banks was with us, we knew he was going to be a star.
Star quality is one of the most difficult things to describe. It emanates from the person, and he may not even understand it himself. It’s a quality that separates the star from the rest of us.
Shirley Maclaine once said that she didn’t want to be a big star, just a long star. That’s what I want too.
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
I like to consider myself a star – a star, that when you look in the sky, it’s always there. And on a clear night… a shooting star comes by, and get a little thrill, and you make a little wish. You need both types of stars, the shooting and the constant stars. The heavens include them all.
I only went to one Star Trek convention and that was in the late ’80s. I hadn’t gone to a convention before that. It was quite amusing, with the people dressed up and all of that.
I come from a very musical family. My dad taught me to play guitar. I play violin and drums as well. Violin, I started in elementary school. Drums actually came when I was in a program called ‘Rock Star,’ which was really awesome. We were doing a song by the Ramones, so I thought, ‘Why not play the drums?’
I’d be happy to do Star Trek again, if the writing was right.
Johnny Nitro was an homage to Eric Bischoff, who, I was his apprentice at the time. I liked that name. Basically, Vince McMahon thought that ‘Nitro’ reminded him of WCW, and when I became the ECW Champion, like, he had a couple times mentioned to me, ‘If you’re going to be a real star, you need a real name.’
But, you know, you can’t be a star at home.
Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star.
I am a movie star.
Will Shatner, Jonathan Frakes of Star Trek have already put novels out.
