When you become a celebrity, the world owns you and your image.
I know a lot of celebrity types go for Kabbalah and Scientology. But why pay 10 per cent of your earnings to someone when it’s all common sense: treat others as you’d like to be treated yourself.
Celebrity poverty, that’s the hidden scandal in Blair’s Britain. You can’t help but worry for them. A girl I knew developed X-ray eyes for celebrity sorrows. She taught me to read the subtext of the down-market celebrity interview, she knew all the Hollywood codes, and followed the deep backgrounds.
I have no interest in being a celebrity. I wouldn’t go to anything that I wasn’t involved in just for the sake of wearing a nice frock and having my picture taken. That part of the business doesn’t make me feel very comfortable.
I am not going to give in to people who try to exploit me because of my celebrity status.
In our society, everyone wants to be a celebrity overnight.
Whenever I see a celebrity that comes to watch me play, I’m going to do for them the same thing they’ve done for me – bring them some type of joy.
One of the reasons why I don’t leave Northampton is that the people don’t treat me like a celebrity. I’ve been here for years; I’m just that bloke with long hair.
Celebrity or no celebrity, I think a lot of females deal with the fear of being abducted.
I’m an actress, not a celebrity.
The more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you’re putting yourself out there all the time, you’re not holding anything back.
Who really cares what a celebrity thinks on a given issue?
I really hate the duties of being a celebrity, like getting dressed up for the red carpet.
I would never date a celebrity. I would want someone with real skills. Doctor, nurse, electrician… tailor.
I live my life with positivity, so even if there was a low, I’d find a positive in the situation. It’s how I am with everything in life. With acting, I don’t love the celebrity side of it and the tabloids, but at the end of the day, I love what I do so much, it overrides all that.
I never, ever see myself as a celebrity or famous.
Celebrity is a pathological sickness of the culture. Narcissists on screen being consumed by narcissists off-screen.
The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.
Katie Hopkins was in ‘I’m A Celebrity’ but you wouldn’t really remember her doing it, as she didn’t really shine.
We’re a nation of celebrity and hero worshipers, so much so that we make heroes out of those who aren’t, such as John Wayne: a patriotic, red-blooded, two-fisted American who spent the Second World War in the trenches on the movie lots of Hollywood.
I never have celebrity crushes.
To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way.
I often find myself worrying about celebrities. It’s an entirely caring thing; it’s not like the people who commission those photographs with cruel arrows to go on the covers of the celebrity magazines. The photographs show botched plastic surgery, raging eczema, weight gain and horrible clothes for maximum schadenfreude.
To be the leading man it’s about the celebrity and the looks, and it’s tough to do that. People who do it great are people like Tom Cruise and Will Smith – they’re built for that. I ain’t. I’m more of a character guy.
I love acting, but don’t necessarily enjoy other aspects of the business. For me, going to celebrity parties is like work.
I love what I do, but I never want to OD on celebrity.
I have to say, my celebrity is not a big factor in my life. Once in a while someone takes my picture. But I’m not exactly one of the four girls everyone’s chasing at the moment.
I am a celebrity, but I don’t want people standing outside my wedding venue.
I don’t know, and certainly I’ve been guilty of making a judgment about a celebrity, but there’s a part of me that’s like, ‘Why don’t you take the time you’re spending ripping James Franco and go do something you like?’
Before, I didn’t do celebrity stuff, ’cause Kathy Griffin did that, but now, if you’re going to make jokes on Twitter, you have to stay current.
I might be a celebrity but I belong to the humble category.
I have no interest in being known as a celebrity; ‘celebrity’ is a pretty disgusting word. It’s part of the brainwashing of the culture, part of the false idolatry of those that are only human, and I don’t want to participate in that.
I love jezebel.com for the latest on fashion, style, and celebrity gossip. I also love gawker.com for New York celebrity sightings, and galleycat.com and trashionista.com for book news.
In the United States, I am a great success, but I am not a celebrity.
I think we know too much about actors as it is and their personal lives and it’s this information age where we’re stimulated constantly by the celebrity buzz effect or whatever it is, these web sites and blogs and different things.
It’s rare that I turn down a photo or autograph, because these are the people that support me, so why not support them. I love it and I invite it. I love what I do and the whole ‘celebrity’ life and all that.
I won’t do ‘Strictly’ or any of those ghastly reality programmes. ‘I’m a Celebrity’ would be the end. It makes me shudder.
Every celebrity in the world, if their movie bombs or whatever, they hold their kid up on a magazine and say, ‘I’m really a dad.’
I don’t enjoy being a celebrity, I don’t want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame… i’d actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!
You have to be savvy to be a celebrity. You have to create a personality and shove that out. It just seems fatuous to me. Professionally, it’s a good idea. But I can’t do it.
I was asked to do ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here,’ and I said: ‘No thank you.’
I’m surviving a life-threatening illness. Many do not, such as those without celebrity and fortune who have to depend on the public healthcare system.
Do you want to be an actor, or do you want to be a celebrity? I made that decision when I went to Juilliard. I wanted to be an actor. So, if I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool, fun and interesting projects, I’m going to do that.
I love the power of celebrity because you can give voice to the voiceless.
Unlike a celebrity, there’s nothing I won’t try and nothing I won’t talk about when it comes to my hair. If I were to get a tattoo on my inner upper arm, it would read, ‘Change thy hair, change thyself.’
I’m not comfortable being around too many people. I don’t like being out in public too much. I don’t like going to bars. I don’t like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don’t always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.
Our goal is really to make sure that ‘Instagram’, whether you’re a celebrity or not, is a safe place and that the content that gets posted is something that’s appropriate for teens and also for adults.
What I do know is that with a celebrity’s death comes an avalanche of media, and in that media is most often another death – it takes a life that is filled with complicated talent, hope, success and drive and reduces it to the ‘story.’
My reaction when I hear the word ‘celebrity’ is, ‘Who, me?’ It doesn’t feel like I’m famous.
I know I have this level of celebrity, of fame, international, national, whatever you want to call it, but it’s a pretty surreal thing to think sometimes that you’re in the middle of another famous person’s life and you think to yourself, ‘How the hell did I get famous? What is this some weird club that we’re in?’
Celebrity damages private life.
I found ‘Celebrity Gangster’ intense, dramatic, a real page turner.
Many business owners dream of having their product or service endorsed by a global celebrity. But instead of trying to get a superstar to support your business, try seeking out a local celebrity instead.
I am a very honest, open person and I think there is a tendency in celebrity autobiographies to gloss over certain things which have happened.
I’ve always thought of myself as a role model even before being a ‘celebrity.’ I’ve always been doing charity work and volunteering in the community since I was 8, so when you do that, I think you just assume that role when you put yourself out there.
There are times when the voice of repining is completely drowned out by various louder voices: the voice of government, the voice of taste, the voice of celebrity, the voice of the real world, the voice of fear and force, the voice of gossip.
I can’t imagine having a conversation about ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
I’m thought of as a celebrity. Everything I’ve ever done… has been for children. As long as I was working constantly, that was fine, because, although I don’t have any children, I do relate better to them than adults.
I would never date a celebrity. I would want someone with real skills. Doctor, nurse, electrician… tailor.
I don’t have big time celebrity friends – I’m just a guy.
The absolute truth is that there is no power in celebrity.
Well, you know, I love being an entrepreneur and when I did ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ with Mr. Trump, he taught us a lot about starting businesses.
