I think that people who are famous tend to be underdeveloped in their humanity skills.

The F-word is 'famous ' the C-word is 'celebrity' and S-word is 'star ' in my book. The other three words are fine - you can say those. But 'famous ' 'celebrity' and 'star ' I think are misused.

You do now have one in three people as shown by the famous Carlton Monarchy debate poll saying they want to get rid of the Monarchy. That was unthinkable even three four years ago.

I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success talent.

I think being famous is more of a hindrance a constraint than just letting yourself be free.

I'd had people say 'You'll enjoy being famous for a week and you'll never enjoy it again'. But I don't think I had that week. I may have been working and missed that moment.

I don't think I'll ever feel as famous or as popular as I felt when I was a 17-year-old soccer player in Modle. Only about 20 000 people live there and 12 000 of them come to every game. Running onto the pitch each week was just the most fantastic feeling. Nothing can beat that.

I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.

I think that once you open the door and allow people in on a certain aspect it's very hard to then control how far that ripple effect is. So I think that the person who is known or famous has the ability to decide what they do or don't want to share.

I think that as soon as you think of yourself as a famous person or anything like that you're objectifying yourself in some weird way.

Luckily I think I never really wanted to be famous I just wanted to make movies.

You know be an actor because you love to act. Don't be an actor because you think you're going to get famous because that's luck.

It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life not having to think about anything.

I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked she got famous for breaking the law.

I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name With somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.

I think in the end when you're famous people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious say-whatever's-on-her-mind intimidating person. And that's part of my personality but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.

I hope this doesn't sound pompous but I don't think of myself as famous whatever fame I've got has come through what I've done and associations of things I've done.

Usually when I see someone famous for some reason I think I know them.

I always loved working as an actress but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can and I think I did. And eventually I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.

I didn't want kids to think that to be happy they had to be famous or rich or live in the big city.

Because I think in order to get famous you have to be known for something. Like 'You're the romantic comedy girl' or 'You're the Oscar-winning whatever girl.'

There are people who appear in the magazines and I don't know who they are. I've never seen anything they've done and their careers are over already. They're famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers I think take a long time to unfold.

The press attack people to sell more papers without thinking but when you get famous you have to put up with this kind of stuff.

As a famous person you think how you're gonna end it get away and have a normal life.
