When anybody honks at me in traffic, I blush, wave, and shout, “Thanks for being a fan.†Being a celebrity is a 24/7 thing.
The elevation of appearance over substance, of celebrity over character, of short term gains over lasting achievement displays a poverty of ambition. It distracts you from what's truly important.
The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.
The nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people, they think it's their fault.
A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
I didn't go to college at all, any college, and I'm not saying you wasted your time or money, but look at me, I'm a huge celebrity.
Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.
When once a man has made celebrity necessary to his happiness, he has put it in the power of the weakest and most timorous malignity, if not to take away his satisfaction, at least to withhold it. His enemies may indulge their pride by airy negligence and gratify their malice by quiet neutrality.
Being a celebrity has taught me to hide, but being an actor has opened my soul.
