It’s always been my way to move about a little more horizontally. My career has never been like a shooting star.
When in doubt, I always, always buy clear vases. You really can’t go wrong with minimalist clear vases, especially when you’re sending someone flowers. The flowers are the star of the show and need to shine!
The rock star is dying. And it’s a small tragedy. Rock stars have blogs now. I have no use for that kind of rock star.
I’ve been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that’s all anyone can expect.
I did a few movies, but the word ‘star’… I cannot compare to a star like Clint Eastwood. I used to call Clint ‘Larry Dickman’ when he would come to my show; then, he started using the name when he would go under cover in a ‘Dirty Harry’ movie. That’s why he’s a movie star… he’s so creative.
The shining star in the world is Shanghai. That’s what CEOs from big companies say – ‘if I want mathematical analytical work done, it’s done in China.’
Sending greeting cards to aliens is hardly a new idea. In 2005, Craigslist solicited messages for broadcast to space by a transmitter in Florida, and in 2008, NASA beamed a Beatles song to the North Star (Polaris), on the assumption that any putative Polarians would appreciate the Fab Four’s 1960s-genre compositions.
Whether you are a star kid or not, it all depends on the actor and how he/she can get the audience to the theatre.
To me the only real star of the movie is the writer. And I work with writers very closely, from outline to first draft and on to the seventh draft, whatever it takes. Then my job is to support the director to make the best movie we can. Some producers try to go past them, but my job is to support them.
We stress humanity, and this is done at considerable cost. We can’t have a lot of dramatics that other shows get away with – promiscuity, greed, jealousy. None of those have a place in ‘Star Trek.’
Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. He does one kind of martial arts that Jet Li doesn’t know how to do, and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesn’t know how to do.
I didn’t know how to deal with success. If there was a Rock Star 101, I would have liked to take it. It might have helped me.
A star for every State, and a State for every star.
I’d thought of myself as a great big motion picture star from the time I was 6.
When my kids ask me, ‘What did you do when you were 18?’ I will tell them I was already at Paris Saint-Germain, that I was already a star and had to stay at home. I’ll have my stories about home.
Randy said I could call him for anything, Paula said that she loved me and said how much of a star I was. Simon was like, keep up the good work and I’ll have nothing to worry about.
The pond-lily is a star and easily takes the first place among lilies; and the expeditions to her haunts, and the gathering her where she rocks upon the dark, secluded waters of some pool or lakelet, are the crown and summit of the floral expeditions of summer.
I’m from the theater. I never wanted to be a star.
I’ve never had a plan for any of this: there was never a plan for, ‘Right, I must get on the TV,’ ‘Right, I must have my own show,’ ‘Right, I must be a movie star.’ I don’t think like that. I haven’t ever had that sort of interest.
My uncle was a gangster in the real gangster days. I witnessed it, I felt it, I smelt it the situation, I was involved. It was like knowing a movie star.
Baseball loyalists cite the game’s legendary numbers – 300 wins, 500 homers, 3,000 hits – as evidence of the sport’s elegance, beauty, and gravitas. What no one mentions is how wretched and painful it is to actually watch a former star gasp and sputter his way toward a legendary number.
I always felt like a movie star.
To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.
I conclude, therefore, that this star is not some kind of comet or a fiery meteor… but that it is a star shining in the firmament itself one that has never previously been seen before our time, in any age since the beginning of the world.
I wanted to be Jon Bon Jovi and Bono. But I’m not that cool. I don’t need to be. I’m not a rock star. I am who I am.
An established film director can just pick up the phone and say to a star, ‘Hey, are you interested in doing a commercial?’
PSY is a legend. I am just proud that a world star has risen from Korea and that a longtime friend was met with such astounding success.
I just want to be an inspiration. I’m a rock star, I’m Future Hendrix.
Sure we’re in limos. We’re stars. How else is a star supposed to travel?
In the U.S. system, too often the best player on an under-17 team will be treated like a ‘star’ – not having to work for the ball, being the focus of the offense at all times, etc. – at a time when they should be having to fight tooth and nail for their spot.
If you’re a movie star, you get the girl, you lose the girl, and then you get her back. But if you’re a character like me, you lose the girl, then you get another one, then you get another one, then you lose them all, then you lose your life.
In the movie ‘Star Trek 3: The Return of Spock,’ I’m a really bad Klingon, and I really enjoyed playing that – somebody who’s totally unscrupulous. It’s like he was not genetically equipped to feel compassion or sensitivity. Just outright evil without apology.
‘Star Wars’ is such a phenomenal global supernova that anything that gets said about it becomes kind of fact and gospel, and then taken by the legions of fans who are so excited to have more ‘Star Wars,’ that they roll off on all sorts of flights of fancy.
Question everything. Every stripe, every star, every word spoken. Everything.
One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
I didn’t come to New York to be a star, I brought my star with me.
I can find in my undergraduate classes, bright students who do not know that the stars rise and set at night, or even that the Sun is a star.
I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; golden chains from star to star, and I dance.
Look, we play the Star Spangled Banner before every game. You want us to pay income taxes, too?
I’m not a rock star. Sure I am, to a certain extent because of the situation, but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star, I say leave me alone, I’m not a rock star. I’m not in it for the fame, I’m in it because I like to play.
The scary thing is how quickly everyone’s star fades. Therefore, to be a voice, you need to do television. You need to stay in the public eye for the public to care about you, to be a big enough voice to help where it is needed.
I mean, every Star Trek episode you saw was just phenomenal.
The character I play in Star Quality says acting is the be-all and end-all of her life. I’m not like that. I do enjoy working and I give every job my best shot but I never feel, What on Earth am I going to do now?
I never had any ambition to be a star, or whatever it is called, and I’m still embarrassed at the word.
I don’t care about being a star. I can do a supporting role; I don’t have to be a lead.
I’m just excited to see myself on billboards. I’m getting ready to be a star.
The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.
Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn’t even the star of his own Halloween special.
I don’t put the pressure on myself to be a very successful movie star. I want to enjoy being an actor and I want to be challenged by the roles I take.
You know, he’s a bit of a rock star, but I think he’s consciously learnt how to make people feel comfortable around him. Because otherwise, how could anyone act opposite him? The whole time you’d be thinking, ‘My god, it’s Johnny Depp!’
In 1993 my birthday present was a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
This is a group effort. This is group theatre. This is no big star turn. You could do things with it to do that but it would just be out of kilter. This is one reason I like this play. This is a unit.
The end of the First World War had thrown Germany’s youth into great turmoil. The reins of power had fallen from the hands of a deeply disillusioned older generation, and the younger ones drew together in larger and smaller groups to blaze new paths or, at least, to discover a new star to steer by.
You become so encapsulated in this world of being a star. People listen to what you say, you have this voice, it becomes unreal and you become far removed from the people you came from.
I mean, everybody’s star fades in every business; that’s just a natural part of life.
Oh my gosh, I would love to guest star on ‘Entourage.’
The truth is I studied fine arts in Switzerland. I was just interested. I had no dream of being a movie star.
I, of course, was born as if I was a movie star in my head. Even though I had nothing, in my head I was always royalty. My mother always said, ‘I don’t know where you came from’. I didn’t have their value system. And I always lived beyond my means.
It still frightens me a little bit to think that so much of my life was totally devoted to Star Trek and almost nothing else.
