I always say as a celebrity you have two choices - you can be a celebrity, or you can be a role model. You can choose to just go to parties and do the red carpets and all that, or you can choose to be an example to these people.

Amber Riley

I don't like the word celebrity. If I become a good actress and be in movies where I'm expected to be a good actress, who is recognised, that's different to being what I consider to be a celebrity. My job is an actor and that's what I'm passionate about and adore. It's a privilege to be able to do this job for a living.

Kelly Reilly

With the rise of the reality show, everyone thinks they can be a celebrity, or that it would be a positive to be a celebrity, or that everyone who's in the news is a celebrity, and I think that there are a lot of people who don't choose to be on the front page, and yet they're still there.

Brian McGinn

I didn't choose the fact that I was gay, but I did choose whether to live my life as a gay woman-that was the terrifying thing for me. Especially being a gay actress.

Portia de Rossi

I think celebrity has become almost normalized. I feel like we all live our lives in a pale imitation of celebrity. With Facebook, we choose a photo that is not too good a photo - we're more arch than that. We're our own celebrity publicists. We understand it so innately.

Jess Walter

Being an actress in Hollywood and being a celebrity tend to feed into one another, but just being a celebrity wouldn't really be interesting to me.

Demi Moore

I'm an actress, not a celebrity.

Diana Quick

I didn't want to do a costume drama. It's a great thing to do, but I've done them, and I didn't want to do the same thing again. Of course, costume dramas can be from all different eras, but at the time, I just felt very sure that I didn't want to be boxed in as an English actress. I wanted to be an actress, rather than an English actress.

Carey Mulligan

I think that's the fascinating thing that exists now. This contrasts with a celebrity art and celebrity music culture.

Stephen Mallinder

This celebrity thing has been interesting. It's hard to get used to, because I don't see myself as a celebrity.

Ron Stallworth

Celebrity is death - celebrity - that's the worst thing that can happen to an actor.

Glenn Close

I've had my taste of huge fame and it was OK, but I'm an actress, not a celebrity.

Helen Baxendale

I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.

Rose Byrne

To me, there are two types of celebrity: there's good celebrity - people that are attracted to the food and working and trying to create something great - and then there's bad celebrity - those who are working on being a celebrity.

David Chang

There's this celebrity thing that goes along with making records or being a rock star. I'm into this celebrity thing just enough to let me go on making records and making a living out of it.
