It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress but it's all about not limiting myself such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

I don't want to be famous per se but I want to write books for as long as I can. And I plan on writing a lot.

Being famous as a writer is like being famous in a village. It's not really any very heady fame.

Celebrity culture it's everywhere isn't it? It's reality TV Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?

I totally related to Cole Porter's magnetic pull to any piano that was in the room which he was famous for doing as was Gershwin. You couldn't drag them away from a piano.

The seven wise men of Greece so famous for their wisdom all the world over acquired all that fame each of them by a single sentence consisting of two or three words.

I don't have any expectations as an actor and being rich and famous is not my driving force.

I like photographing the people I love the people I admire the famous and especially the infamous. My last infamous subject was the extreme right wing French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.

I'm not unknown yet I'm not super famous where I can't go anywhere.

It's hard to have a bad hair day when you're famous.
