celebrity culture quotes

I don’t like celebrities; I don’t hang out with them; I don’t relate to that life.

I think sometimes celebrities get so big, they’re not reachable.

People want to act like they know celebrities. They want to see pictures. They want to know where you’re going. They want to hear you talk about your family.

Hollywood has a way of making everything seem like an overnight success.

The celebrity-chef thing, even at its worst, its most annoying, its silliest, its goofiest, its most egregious and cynical, has been a good thing.

Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.

Celebrity is ridiculous and silly and it’s mad that people like me are listened to – you know, rap stars and movie stars.

I don’t think I could think of a single thing that’s more isolating than being famous.

In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.

Overnight stardom can be harmful to your mental health. Yeah. It has ruined a lot of people.

In Los Angeles, everyone is a star.

I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy.

If a star or studio chief or any other great movie personages find themselves sitting among a lot of nobodies, they get frightened – as if somebody was trying to demote them.

I don’t know if high society is different in other cities, but in Hollywood, important people can’t stand to be invited someplace that isn’t full of other important people. They don’t mind a few unfamous people being present because they make good listeners.

I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.

Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
