Celebrity’s a pain in the backside – you’re always on display.
I like how TV used to be – ‘Boys from the Blackstuff’ and ‘Play for Today’, instead of ‘Stars in Your Eyes’ and ‘Celebrity Come Cook With Me’ or whatever. I hate all that stuff.
I don’t consider myself a celebrity. I’m just a journalist.
I moved out at 18. I always studied classes and trained a lot, you know. I think nowadays is such a different time because there’s so many channels promoting the celebrity aspect of things.
If I tried to start modeling right now, I wouldn’t be a supermodel because it’s all about celebrity.
One of the great things about a celebrity pro-am is that you get to play along with the very best professional golfers in the world.
You know, just in terms of having to have a life on the road, you know, having the celebrity aspect be a burden for my family, friends and extended family.
When I first moved to Vail, it was like I was a little celebrity. You know, everyone knew my accomplishments. I was a young, fast teenager and making waves in the ski world. And it was really cool.
For me, I would prefer to not have my face on the album cover. I don’t mind being in the public, but it’s just not really my personality, and it’s not really why I’m into this. I like making art, and that’s it. I don’t really want to be a celebrity, seriously. I like my privacy.
The reality is that most celebrity defendants are extremely unknowledgeable, naive, and vulnerable, and if they get into trouble, they usually call their lawyer friends who handle criminal cases, and if they don’t know any, they call their business lawyers, who then refer them to lawyer friends of theirs.
Working-class people don’t tend to be wooed by celebrity.
You’re going to find out who your friends are. Anything that happens in your life is one of those challenges. It may not be at the level of celebrity, but everybody’s going to travel that road.
Well, Jon Hamm isn’t a real celebrity.
The queen of aggregation is, of course, Arianna Huffington, who has discovered that if you take celebrity gossip, adorable kitten videos, posts from unpaid bloggers and news reports from other publications, array them on your Web site and add a left-wing soundtrack, millions of people will come.
It’s funny how you call me a celebrity. Oh man.
I prefer being as far from the centre of celebrity as possible.
Celebrity gives us delusion of self importance.
I’ve dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around. You never get to see each other, especially if you’re both musicians.
I meet people who are famous, and it’s made me realise that fame has huge lifestyle disadvantages. I’m nervous about that. I don’t want to become a celebrity.
To be a celebrity, I couldn’t think of anything more cringe-worthy.
Vampirism is like celebrity now. Vampires are these eternally young, thin, sexy apparitions of perpetual nightlife and absolutely nothing like their folkloric European boogeyman predecessors. We don’t even make our vampires sleep in coffins anymore, or the ground.
Once they began doing ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ apparently the audience wasn’t that keen on the ordinary apprentice. That is probably the best indictment with our fascination with celebrity in our culture, which drives me crazy.
Being an actress in Hollywood and being a celebrity tend to feed into one another, but just being a celebrity wouldn’t really be interesting to me.
When I look back, I am happy that my mum took me to the gymnastics club. I didn’t join gymnastics to become a famous athlete or celebrity; it just happened – I did more than I expected, of course.
Celebrity – I don’t even know what that means. Obviously it’s the same basic word as celebration, but I don’t know what’s being celebrated.
It’s not even about looking good; it’s about feeling good inside. Celebrity Sweat makes everyone aware of that but in a fun way with their favorite athletes.
I’m really only interested in building this intellectual movement. The I.D.W. has bigger goals than anyone’s buzz or celebrity.
‘Celebrity Apprentice’ has more integrity and is the most straightforward show I’ve ever seen.
I regret that I wasn’t the kind of person who could enjoy celebrity. It embarrassed me too much.
I always say as a celebrity you have two choices – you can be a celebrity, or you can be a role model. You can choose to just go to parties and do the red carpets and all that, or you can choose to be an example to these people.
Normal is such a hard word to use, because everyone’s idea of normal is different. Real is what the word is. I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife. I think I lead a really real life.
That’s one of the real downfalls of celebrity. You’re something that’s about you at some point, and that gets latched onto and pumped into the machinery. Then you start having a million other people telling you who you are, and what you should be doing and why, and it’s easy to lose your way.
Any actor will tell you, anybody in the public eye, that the tabloids are the worst kind of ramification of being a celebrity.
For every R. Kelly or Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein, there’s, you know, the owner of the grocery store, the coach, the teacher, the neighbor, who are doing the same things. But we don’t pay attention until it’s a big name. And we don’t pay attention ’til it’s a big celebrity.
The thing is, I love a celebrity interview. Doesn’t matter how big or how small. It could be Hillary Clinton or the guy who made it to the third round of ‘Popstars,’ I’ll read it.
I feel for anybody who has that level of celebrity where you can’t lead a normal life.
Celebrity is death – celebrity – that’s the worst thing that can happen to an actor.
I think it’s very dangerous, the idea of celebrity – you have to be constantly controversial to maintain the status of celebrity. Reality TV is the death of entertainment – it’s just mindless TV but popular because of its voyeuristic nature, and people are very voyeuristic.
For the charities, their relationships with celebrity supporters should be as deep and purposeful as the ones they have with any of their supporters and volunteers, based on a genuine understanding of the issues they’re tackling.
I honestly have no interest in celebrity whatsoever. If anything, I always cringe at it because it takes away from what I am, which is an actor who wants to be better and do better things.
I hate anything with ‘celebrity’ in the title, where people are playing to the cameras all the time.
The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don’t meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it’s essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you’re going to be an actor.
I’m in the public eye. I’m a celebrity and a football player.
The idea of celebrity has always been very strange to me because it’s taking the focus away from the music and attaching it to a person. When we put someone on a pedestal or idolize them, we’re giving our own power away.
I started cooking for the love of cooking, and I am going to keep cooking whether there’s a celebrity aspect to it or not.
I don’t think I’m a celebrity. I’m just a guy from east Texas who loves cars and airplanes.
I started from nothing in Lichtenstein. The country is so small, and the only ‘celebrity’ type people who are from there are skiers.
I loathe the word ‘celebrity,’ and I hope I’m not a diva. Whenever I see diva-ish behaviour, I just leave the room; I find it appalling. You should always try to be civil to people.
People think I’m a celebrity. I’m not a celebrity.
As an athlete, I was never really comfortable with being a celebrity.
I was named DC’s funniest celebrity.
I don’t know what’s more embarrassing, these musicians and actors talking about politics in interviews or the media actually giving them credibility about it. It’s absurd that a celebrity could speak out on the economy or politics with no more justification than a hit album or a movie.
There are many myths surrounding celebrity children.
I really don’t have a celebrity crush.
Like, if you are a celebrity, then anyone will let you be in a film or on a TV show, and if you’re an actor, chances are if you are successful, you are becoming a celebrity.
I feel that I see John Lennon now as not a celebrity. I did then. I saw him as a cardboard cutout on an album cover.
At one time there were voiceover artists, now there are celebrity voiceover artists. It’s unfortunate because these people need the money less than the voiceover artist.
I think there’s a difference between a working actor, a movie star and a celebrity. They’re all three different things.
I am honored to continue the fight for equal economic opportunities, the right to choose, and an end to gender-based violence by serving as an ACLU Celebrity Ambassador.
My celebrity status allows me an opportunity, allows me a pulpit to preach and reach out to the people. Not even always preaching but just leading, motivating them by being a leader.
I loved being a part of ‘Celebrity MasterChef.’ The process was scary and I was so out of my comfort zone but I’ve learnt so much. Doing something I’d never done before put me in the position of the celebs on ‘Strictly’ and because of that experience, I think i’ll be a better teacher because of it.
