It's funny how you call me a celebrity. Oh man.
~By Steven Hill ~
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 ~
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 ~
To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do.
~By Judith Light ~
Any actor will tell you, anybody in the public eye, that the tabloids are the worst kind of ramification of being a celebrity.

~By John Cusack ~
I absolutely realize that a celebrity spokesperson is not ideal.
~By Janeane Garofalo ~
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.

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 Cate Blanchett ~

~By Julie Christie ~

~By Mark David Chapman ~
Obama was 200 percent advertising. I promote myself to sell my brands. Because now I am a kind of celeb. I am in a different world than the fashion industry. I am with Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Madonna. I build me as a celebrity.
~By Christian Audigier ~
One U.S. hit single and a hit T Shirt in 1985 does not a celebrity make.

There's all this stuff that is happening in Edinburgh now, it's a sad attempt to create an Edinburgh society, similar to a London society, a highbrow literature celebrity society.
~By Irvine Welsh ~
I know that when Terry and I were together, 10 years ago, he did not appreciate it when people would ask him what it is like being partnered with a celebrity. Precisely because it suggested that he had no value.
~By Armistead Maupin ~
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 ~

~By Jessica Alba ~
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.

~By Rob Paulsen ~
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.

Somebody can become a celebrity for being stupid. That is what it's turned into.

~By Gloria Swanson ~
Being a celebrity, I don't even have to talk.
~By Damon Wayans ~
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 ~
In the Emperor's New Clothes, they got a different celebrity to do each voice. They drew up a picture of each character and then each actor wrote their own part.
~By Melissa Joan Hart ~
I've always felt that celebrity was wonderful for a lot of the perks that it could give you.
~By Judith Light ~

~By Ashlee Simpson ~
Celebrity hits like a bomb.
~By Jimmy Smits ~

~By C. Wright Mills ~
The minuses of celebrity include having to live with security and the knowledge that you may be stalked.
~By Enya ~

~By Jonny Lee Miller ~
Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.
~By Emily Dickinson ~

~By Elle Macpherson ~
I believe celebrity spoils people - some worse than others.
~By Phil Donahue ~
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 ~
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 ~

~By Anderson Cooper ~
I think a Celebrity Survivor would be great.
~By Kathy Griffin ~
It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity.
~By Nastassja Kinski ~
So many celebrity websites you go to are so sterile that you know they just pay somebody to do it and there's not even an ounce of them in it.
~By Cindy Margolis ~
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 ~
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 ~
Oh, I wouldn't want to go on a date with a female celebrity. I'd rather go on a date with a real woman.
~By Casper Van Dien ~
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 ~
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 ~
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 do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views.

~By Judith Light ~
I prefer being as far from the centre of celebrity as possible.
~By Rachel Weisz ~

~By Leon Kass ~
A curious consequence is that I have become a minor celebrity.
~By Edward Tufte ~
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 ~
You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.
~By Lisa Kudrow ~
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 ~
A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.

~By Daniel J. Boorstin ~
I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff.
~By Adam Sandler ~
It's just nice to work hard and be rewarded, which is having lots of people watch. And the icing on the cake is for me is to be able to walk around with pride, feeling that the product you put out is worthy of being watched. But honestly, it's not a big deal. I don't put too much stock in fame or celebrity anyway. I don't put it in the 'important' box.
~By Christopher Meloni ~
I have this dream life where I get to be a celebrity but I get to navigate the world fairly easily because I'm always in character.
