A Quote by Olivier Martinez

Just being famous feels cheap to me. — © Olivier Martinez
Just being famous feels cheap to me.
In the realm of pop celebrity, the bar has been lowered so far that there is no bar. People can be famous for being famous, famous for being infamous, famous for having once been famous and, thanks largely to the Internet, famous for not being famous at all.
The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous. You know, my fantasy of being a famous writer, and again there's a slight disconnect with reality which happens a lot with me. I imagined being a famous writer would be like being like Jane Austen.
To me, I can be famous in sports. But to me, I cannot say it means a lot to be famous. Being famous is something I don't like.
If somebody tells me I'm famous I say, 'I'm not.' I can't see myself as famous and I don't think I'll ever call myself famous. I definitely don't feel famous. To me, this is just a job.
I was in this hamster wheel of being famous for being famous, much like a reality star. You would put me on a talkshow, I would say outrageous things. I was just perpetuating myself as a celebrity, and I found that really empty.
I'm not thirsty. I'm not a pop star. I don't want to reign over all forever... I don't want to be famous! It makes me feel sick, the thought of being a famous person. It's just not me.
Cheap money feels like the most natural thing in the world - if you don't think about why it's so cheap.
When famous people are nice to me, it feels good, so I'm happy to hang out with them. It's better than being at home, depressed, reading 'The Hobbit.'
The hardest thing about being famous? Just working I guess. Just work. The famous part's the luxury.
I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.
I don't want to be in front of the camera forever. I'm not thirsty. I'm not a pop star. I don't want to reign over all forever. I don't want to be famous! It makes me feel sick, the thought of being a famous person. It's just not me. I'm the happiest when I'm in the studio, not on a beauty parade.
Most people try to get rich by being cheap and the price for that is that you live cheap and there is so much money out there; why would you want to live cheap?
I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.
Exposure makes you famous, not just good work. Famous is being plastered everywhere.
If you're famous, you suck, just for being famous. People in England totally get that; Americans don't.
Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion.
