I think I’ve been wishing for celebrity for so long that I’ve got used to being someone who’s petitioning the establishment for acceptance… my whole schtick, my whole identity, is so wrapped up in being a petitioner that I don’t really know how to react now that petition has been granted.
The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.
I get embarrassed on the red carpet at awards ceremonies. The whole celebrity thing is embarrassing.
A celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well known, and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
There are people who tell you to shut up because you’re just a celebrity, but pundits, talking heads, they’re every bit the celebrity and a lot of them aren’t any more qualified than the average man on the street.
Trump has manufactured the first-ever Celebrity Immunity Bubble – rendering him incapable of offense, no matter whom he offends. It’s brilliant.
The bigger you become of a celebrity, the bigger the expectations, the pressure on you – to make change, to say what people want, to target the people they want to target. Fame is toxic; it is quite toxic.
I’m not really part of that ‘L.A. thing’ or that celebrity culture. I’m more like someone who observes it, and I can’t ever imagine being like that.
We are not doing celebrity, personality, abusive politics – we are doing ideas. This is about hope.
The average celebrity meets, in one year, ten times the amount of people that the average person meets in his entire life.
I think of myself as a musician and not a celebrity. Celebrity status is something you have to deliberately pursue – I couldn’t imagine myself seeking that.
I don’t think I’m supposed to boss other people around just because I’m a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I’ve seen it happen. I don’t call those people out – they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.
For me, people see me working with my celebrity clients, but it’s important to show people how they can make their lives their own red carpet every day.
I was a common man, and I will always remain a common man. No amount of stardom will ever consume my soul. Money comes, money goes. Fame comes, fame goes. I believe every human being is a celebrity in their own right.
If I hadn’t become a celebrity, I’d probably be an alcoholic.
That’s what we need nowadays, is more children that have goals other than being a sports figure or some kind of celebrity.
I’m not trying to be a celebrity, Justin Timberlake kinda guy.
I’m really interested in how we view the public figure, what makes a public figure, what makes a celebrity, and how images make politicians, so I take an interest in politics, but it’s really an interest in the image.
When it comes to other celebrity brands, I think a lot of people do a great job, but it can’t be all about them. Everybody doesn’t want to just look like the celebrity, because they can’t. They just want one element of that style.
I’ve photographed just about everyone in the world. But what I hope to do is photograph people of accomplishment, not celebrity, and help define the difference once again.
I did ‘Celebrity’ by Woody Allen. I did ‘The Gingerbread Man’ with Robert Altman. These were big talents.
They do not air ‘GH’ in Holland, so I don’t get recognized. But the Dutch are wonderfully unimpressed with celebrity, so even if the show did play over there it probably wouldn’t affect things much. It’s a wonderful life and I am so blessed.
I’m really not a celebrity; I’m just a teacher.
Cyndi Lauper is really good at talking to you about normal things. It’s strange to be in the presence of a big celebrity like that. You want to make these connections and say things related to being a fan. It’s not as interesting for them. She’s amazing at making small talk without it seeming small.
‘Potato-chip news’ is news that’s repetitive, requires little effort to absorb, and is consumable in massive quantities: true crime, natural disasters, political punditry, celebrity gossip, sports gossip, or endless photographs of beautiful houses, food, or clothes.
Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater, not a real person.
I can’t stand the word ‘celebrity.’ It’s such a brash word.
The average celebrity meets, in one year, ten times the amount of people that the average person meets in his entire life.
I’m just the same guy… I don’t need to be a celebrity or a superstar.
I have a lot of celebrity friends. But they’re all Hollywood friends. You can’t call them if you fall over and break your leg, but if you’re having a BBQ and wanna chitchat, you hang out with them, or you go to their house.
When I did ‘Esquire,’ I did a lot of celebrity covers, but the celebrity cover was Hubert Humphrey as a dummy, sitting on Lyndon Johnson’s lap and aping his feelings about the war. I did celebrity covers that made a difference in what was going on in American culture.
Now I’m seen by more people in one episode than I was in 20 years of theatre and movies. It’s gratifying to have an impact on 25 million people a night, but I can say goodbye to my lunch-pail life as a working actor. I’m scared I might be a celebrity.
From a nobody, I seem to have become a celebrity of sorts overnight. I am dumbstruck and overwhelmed.
The system of Christian celebrity was not a good space for me, and it was brutal on my kids – my son in college was frequently confronted by people railing against me as a heretic.
I never thought being famous would be wonderful, but my limited exposure to celebrity has shown me the dark side big-time.
Celebrity is a gift. I’m very lucky.
I don’t think there’s room in video games for people to bring an ego. It’s very frustrating for any actor to have someone who’s a celebrity take over your place. Like the ‘Uncharted’ film, they’re trying to find someone to play Nathan Drake. And it’s like, why do they not think of us? We do this.
I have a no-kids policy on my website, meaning I won’t publish paparazzi photos of celebrity children. I’ll only post photos that celebrities themselves share on social media, or if the kids are photographed at a red carpet event.
I think media has lost its way. We must recognize that the proprietors of these organizations have put on a form of censorship. Basically, they’re more interested in celebrity, narcissism, rich people, good-looking people, and successful sportsmen.
You don’t know when you’re being watched. That’s one of the weird things about celebrity. It’s my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.
Bandwagon and all that it is is such a huge passion of mine. We’re already bouncing around ideas for season three, what we would call our golden ticket, in terms of a celebrity we would pair up with. We have a few in mind, and a few topics.
You’re supposed to look a certain way when you’re a celebrity, but I want to take care of my baby, and those two things don’t mesh very well.
Celebrity never really served me that well; it serves other people well.
I’m rather uncomfortable with celebrity, to be honest.
If you were to ask me what I want to do – I don’t want to be a celebrity, I want to make a difference.
Usually, the 24-hour, high-maintenance celebrity lifestyle can disconnect people from reality.
There are certain people who prize celebrity over substance. That makes the media world go round. The media needs those people to exist.
I don’t want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie. Nothing about being a celebrity is desirable. I’m an actor. It’s bizarre to me that everybody’s so obsessive.
I wasn’t able to make the full commitment until I met ‘Celebrity Rehab’s’ Dr. Drew.
I never wanted to be the guy people looked at. I don’t think of myself as being a celebrity; it’s too mortifying.
I try to keep my integrity. I don’t want to be in ‘Hello!’ or on ‘Celebrity Big Brother.’
I don’t think I responded very well to the sudden celebrity, the sudden fame, and the loss of privacy.
I’ve always competed in those shows. Like, I won ‘Fear Factor’, I did ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’, I did ‘The Mole’, ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ with Donald Trump. I’ve done a lot of those shows, all in the hope of being a blessing to my mom’s organization.
I am the the type to have a personal experience with a celebrity, but I’m too classy to bring that up.
As I listened to the verdicts in the Casey Anthony case, acquitting her of the homicide of her baby girl, I relived what I felt back when court clerk Deirdre Robertson read the verdicts in the Simpson case. But this case is different. The verdict is far more shocking. Why? Because Casey Anthony was no celebrity.
Truth be told, I’m not all that comfortable with celebrity culture. That was always something that baffled me, the obsession over fame. I don’t think that’s a reason why anyone should get into making music.
Whether anyone has ever changed their mind as a result of a celebrity endorsement of a candidate is a bit of a mystery.
I have three other siblings, so it’s all very equal – even when I get a little cocky, which I usually do. My brother keeps me in a headlock. He says that I’m not a celebrity in this house. I think I’m really chilled out and grounded.
