A Quote by Essie Davis

I never said I wanted to be a movie star. — © Essie Davis
I never said I wanted to be a movie star.
I'm not really a movie star. No matter what I do in acting, whether I'm good, how much work I get, whatever, I never will be a movie star. Because I never think of myself as one. You are a movie star because you think of yourself as a movie star and always have.
I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big, famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.
Everybody says, 'You impress me as a guy who never wanted to be a movie star.' I say, 'Everybody in the world wants to be a movie star.'
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films.
I'm competitive with myself, not at the expense of everything around me. I never wanted to be a movie star. I just wanted to act.
I never wanted to be a movie star.
The fact is, I never wanted to be a movie star.
I had wanted to be a movie star and had thought I would be a movie star since I was very little. It was just something I saw in my future. But somehow when it happened, I wasn't ready for it.
I found my niche as a character actor, and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.
I never really thought I wanted to become a movie star.
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films. I vowed I would never do a commercial, nor would I do a soap opera - both of which I did as soon as I left the Acting Company and was starving.
But the truth is, I've never wanted to be a movie star - and I've been pretty clear about that.
I never expected to be a movie star. It's not that I didn't want to be, I didn't think about it. I wanted to be an actor.
I never considered myself a movie star, and I didn't want to become a movie star, because as soon as you do, you throw away that possibility of playing character. You really do. All of a sudden you're just an entity, you know?
I never really said I wanted to be a TV star, when I was a kid.
I don't think I ever said, "I want to be an actress." But for Halloween, I dressed up as a movie star from when I was seven to when I was twelve. The costume was always a long dress, with makeup, and my hair curled, and jewelry on. And the movie star was always Jenny McCarthy. So right there you could see a little pattern.
