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!!!
~By Marc Almond ~
I love New York City. Everyone is busy with their own lives - and no one is interested in some Hollywood celebrity walking past in downtown Manhattan.
~By James Van Der Beek ~
It's just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.
~By Winona Ryder ~
I'm drawing the gossip surrounding the celebrity, or the image the celebrity tries to push on us.
~By Hilary Duff ~
For the most part, I have a very manageable celebrity. People recognize me from time to time, and they usually say very appreciative things. It affords me a great deal of pleasure.
~By Armistead Maupin ~
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.
~By Fred Allen ~
Any actor will tell you, anybody in the public eye, that the tabloids are the worst kind of ramification of being a celebrity.
~By Tracey Gold ~
If anyone can figure out how to balance my celebrity and my dual careers in music and film, it's me. I don't feel frightened; I feel challenged.
~By Jennifer Lopez ~
I still get excited about meeting celebrities, because I don't think I'm a celebrity myself.
~By Allan Carr ~
I think that's the thing. I don't want to date a celebrity. I want to date a normal person. So I'm looking for a normal person.
~By Ashlee Simpson ~
A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.

Perhaps you could sympathize with those who seek to replace a dead child with a copy, or to copy a parent or a relative or even a celebrity.
~By Leon Kass ~
But I've always felt a need to have a life which is completely separate - at least as far as possible - from the kind of illusory lifestyle that comes with being a celebrity.
~By Winona Ryder ~
Isn't it amazing how celebrity status preempts even the most ingrained hatreds?
~By Camryn Manheim ~
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.
~By Kevin Bacon ~
I was never a celebrity - just a working actor.
~By Martin Milner ~
I regret that I wasn't the kind of person who could enjoy celebrity. It embarrassed me too much.
~By Julie Christie ~
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.
~By Denzel Washington ~
I'm kind of ashamed to be a celebrity. I don't understand wanting to read about other people's dirty laundry. I think celebrity is the biggest red herring society has ever pulled on itself.
~By Jude Law ~
However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable.
~By Claire Danes ~
Everyone wants immediate success, immediate celebrity, and that doesn't produce what used to be artists.
~By Colin R. Davis ~
I'm very privileged to be the celebrity I am.
~By Michael Moriarty ~
It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity.
~By Nastassja Kinski ~
I think 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.
~By John Cusack ~
The cartoon is a metaphor really for the fact that it's almost impossible in our celebrity obsessed culture to move around genres and sort of change you ideas, change your face, you know?
~By Damon Albarn ~
I don't think I'm a celebrity. A chimpanzee could have done what I did.

I tip like crazy. They'll remember me. Celebrity can be expensive.

One U.S. hit single and a hit T Shirt in 1985 does not a celebrity make.
~By Holly Johnson ~
As a celebrity, you get a certain number of free passes. You're actually in a better position if you're a celebrity because people care.
~By Joyce Brothers ~
Celebrity and secrets don't go together. The bastards will get you in the end.
~By George Michael ~
I just try not to subscribe to the ways of celebrity. I'm not a celebrity, I'm a working actor. A lot of the events - the parties and the premieres that people go to to get noticed - I'm just not into. I'll hang out with my friends, go see punk shows, read at home. At the same time, I have a production company, which is a lot of work.
~By Milo Ventimiglia ~
I want it to be remembered that Ozzy was the first celebrity who was brave enough to open up his private life to the public. He was the first.
~By Sharon Osbourne ~
I don't have any friends and don't have any intention of making any. People will stab you in the back, mistreat you, talk about me behind your back, steal from you. And they're not really your friends. They're only there because you're a celebrity or because they want to get something from you.
~By Gary Coleman ~
Just because there are celebrities in a movie, it doesn't mean anything. I don't think The Ant Bully did all that well the first week at the box office. Compare the movies that have a lot of celebrities with the Jimmy Neutron movie, which had no celebrity voices and grossed almost one hundred million dollars.
~By Rob Paulsen ~
And I think that if I were a for real celebrity that was recognizable everywhere, I'd just crawl under a rock and you know, have someone run over the rock with a car, or something.
~By Steve Burns ~
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.
~By Adam Sandler ~
You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.
~By Lisa Kudrow ~
I love to utilize my celebrity status in a responsible and constructive and substantive manner. I like to get my hands dirty rather than a photo op.
~By William Baldwin ~
I've been that celebrity on the red carpet, and I appreciate that something hasn't got to just look good from the front, from the back, it's got to look good at all angles.
~By Victoria Beckham ~
I think a Celebrity Survivor would be great.
~By Kathy Griffin ~
The money is in a different league these days, of course, but I have special memories of the 60s and 70s which players today don't have. There wasn't the same celebrity attitude and media exposure. We had a bit more freedom.
~By Peter Shilton ~
About 100 things that your kid will do that will surprise you and break your heart and it will be a combination of fact based therapy, medically advised kinds of passages accompanied by celebrity anecdotes and just some funny stuff to lighten the load.
~By Alan Thicke ~
You have to remember that when you are a performer you become a celebrity, but you are not saving lives. It's not that important.
~By Victoria Beckham ~
It's a cliche, but there really is no handbook about the celebrity thing; you have to figure it out as you go along.
~By Nathan Lane ~
It's really unfair to working women in America who read celebrity news and think, 'Why can't I lose weight when I've had a baby?' Well, everyone you're reading about has money for a trainer and a chef. That doesn't make it realistic.
~By Rachel Zoe ~
But when you're a celebrity, you discover that you're no longer the pursuer, but the one being pursued. That's one of the disappointments I have had since becoming a single man.
~By Hugh Grant ~
I know this is going to sound cheesy and like I'm trying to be Miss America, but the most important responsibility a celebrity has is to set an example and be a role model.
~By Clay Aiken ~
I believe celebrity spoils people - some worse than others.
~By Phil Donahue ~
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.
~By William Petersen ~
Being a celebrity, I don't even have to talk.
~By Damon Wayans ~
I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.
~By Jason Patric ~
I don't consider myself a celebrity, and I don't consider myself a star.
~By Laura Linney ~
Celebrity is hawking make-up, cars, everything; it's shifted.
~By Janice Dickinson ~
You've got to use your celebrity for good stuff, not evil. I think it's lame when people act as if they're better than everyone!
~By Rachel Bilson ~
I live my life parallel with my work, and they are both equally important. I'm always amazed how much people talk about celebrity and fame. I don't understand the attraction.
~By Cate Blanchett ~
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.
~By Jude Law ~
What's sad is that there is an addictive quality to that, to believing your own hype; to allowing yourself to become validated by others and no longer by yourself. That's the danger of celebrity.
~By Giovanni Ribisi ~
It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.
~By Winona Ryder ~
And basically I always said when I was little that if I ever became successful or a celebrity, I would buy her this huge house and she would never have to work anymore. And I've done that. So I feel happy about doing that.
~By Missy Elliot ~
Somebody can become a celebrity for being stupid. That is what it's turned into.
~By Kate Hudson ~
If you say a modern celebrity is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that you've read his autobiography.
~By P. J. O'Rourke ~
A curious consequence is that I have become a minor celebrity.
~By Edward Tufte ~
The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.
~By Henry A. Kissinger ~
I am utterly bored by celebrity interviews. Most celebrities are devoid of interest.
~By Roger Ebert ~
I think I've matured to a great extent. I think that I want different things now. That it's not about the celebrity status that you receive because you're doing the next hot movie. It's about doing good work.
~By Emilio Estevez ~
People think celebrities don't have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It's like you've traveled to this Land of Celebrity, this other country. They want you to tell about what you saw.
~By David Duchovny ~
Celebrity gives us delusion of self importance.
~By Al Goldstein ~
I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.
~By Gwyneth Paltrow ~
My pastor said, Just because you were a celebrity doesn't mean you're supposed to be a celebrity now.
~By Willie Aames ~
I could have been more famous if I did all the glitzy things, but celebrity always seemed so unnecessary.
~By Enya ~
The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.
~By Daniel J. Boorstin ~
The term 'celebrity' makes my skin crawl.
~By Janeane Garofalo ~
I still go to a salon where a gal does my hair, and I don't know if it's because I'm a celebrity but by the time I leave there, we are eating chicken and talking and screaming.
~By Jenifer Lewis ~
If I hadn't become a celebrity, I'd probably be an alcoholic.
~By Paul Lynde ~
I am not this big celebrity, but it gets really crazy. You have to go through the nuts of blowing up, in a sense, and then figuring out how to live your life with that.
~By Vanessa Carlton ~
It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.
~By Ben Kingsley ~
I hope we can keep doing it this way - making music and art that are pure products of our influences while not really having to let the whole celebrity side of it get in the way. Then maybe more virtual bands will come out and do the same thing.
~By Damon Albarn ~
I've never considered myself a celebrity or even part of the entertainment business. I'm a cooking teacher.
~By Martin Yan ~
So, I didn't get moved up because of celebrity status or anything like that. I got in line, and I passed the test. And they realized that I was sick enough, and as soon as the liver became available, I got one.
~By Pat Summerall ~
Being a celebrity or anything else where you're really ambitious, it's really a game to see how successful you can get.
~By Joe Rogan ~
I think my recognizability ebbs and flows. I don't lead a particularly celebrity lifestyle or anything like that. I don't go to showbiz parties or red-carpet events, so it all depends on whether I've got a film out. I've not been very visible in the last year or so and as a result hardly anyone stops me in the street.
~By James McAvoy ~
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.
~By Vince Vaughn ~

~By Todd Barry ~
Celebrity distorts democracy by giving the rich, beautiful, and famous more authority than they deserve.
~By Maureen Dowd ~
I am not just a celebrity, I'm a human-rights advocate for the last 20 years.
~By Bianca Jagger ~
I feel like I almost didn't grow up in the business, because my parents worked so hard at sheltering us from that. I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn't aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago.
~By Bryce Dallas Howard ~
Celebrity is very weird.
~By Javier Bardem ~
When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity, which is where I found myself for a large part of my life, it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity, like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!
~By Agnetha Faltskog ~
If you want to be an actor, you have to do it because you love acting, not because you want to be a celebrity.
~By Alfonso Ribeiro ~

~By Stephen Sondheim ~
This haunting idea of becoming a celebrity doesn't settle well with me at all.
