Becoming an actress takes a lot longer than being a star. I don't want to be a star. I want to be an actress. I want to build a career.

Carol Alt

I don't really want to be known as just the puppet girl or just a singing ventriloquist. I want to be known as the performer, singer, ventriloquist, actress, Broadway star, all of it. I want do it all.

Darci Lynne Farmer

When I came to Mumbai to audition for a dance reality show, I was in top 100. I doubted myself and did not get through. It was a lesson for me... After that day, whenever I used to go for auditions, I never doubted myself.

Sanya Malhotra

I've worked with acting coaches, I've been going out on auditions and meeting with casting directors. But I'm not known as an actress.

Cassie Ventura

I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.

Ming-Na Wen

Everyone's trying to get a reality show, and we're just trying to avoid accidentally being on a reality show.

Erin Foster

I failed eating, failed drinking, failed not cutting myself into shreds. Failed friendship. Failed sisterhood and daughterhood. Failed mirrors and scales and phone calls. Good thing I'm stable.

Laurie Halse Anderson

Show me an actress who isn't a personality and I'll show you a woman who isn't a star.

Katharine Hepburn

I am very ambitious and have set goals for myself. I really don't keep a tab on what my contemporaries are doing. I want to push myself as an actress and don't want to get into the rat race. With every film, I want to grow as a person and an actress. The character I play needs to change me in real life.

Sonam Kapoor

It's easy to make a reality show that's sensational but it's more challenging to make a reality show that's got a lot of heart and integrity and still keeps you enthralled and makes you want to keep watching.

Courtney Act

To me, the All-Star Game is just another step. I try to take all my experiences and put them together. To make the NBA was something, and then to be recognized as an All-Star - although I don't consider myself a star. I see myself as just trying to reach my potential as B. J.

B. J. Armstrong

I just don't want to be known as the actress who can sing. I want to be known as the singer who can act, too. It's great cross-promotion.

Mandy Moore

One of my favorite things about 'Star Trek' wasn't just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face; there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality.

J. J. Abrams

When I was younger, I did a TV show in the U.K. for a couple years, and I learned a lot from that. It taught me a lot about being known amongst your peers and having to deal with a lot of derision from them. It's not easy being known as 'the kid from the TV show.' Not in school it's not.

Richard Madden

I am star-struck but also I've known a lot of people for a long time. Like I'm super star-struck by Grant Lee Phillips and Jon Brion but I've known them for 17 years. So it's kinda like weird to be star-struck still, but I still am!
