I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say.

It wasn't not being famous any more or even not being a recording artist. It was having nobody who needed me no phones ringing nothing to do. Because I'm still too young to do nothing. I was only 24 when all that happened. Now at 40 I feel I've got more to give than I ever have.

When you reach a certain status in Hollywood you have to play a lot of games to stay in the limelight. It becomes more about being famous than being an actor.

I don't know about this thing - being famous. I haven't figured it out yet. It still mystifies me.

I'm really in no danger of being perceived as a famous movie actor!

I grew up being the girl who would always tune in to watch famous people talk about their careers how they handled scandals and mega fame. I'm trying to pick up tips.

I don't feel I was ever a 'famous' child actor. I was just a working actor who happened to be a kid. I was never really in a hit show until I was a teenager with West Wing playing First Daughter Zoey Bartlet. In a way that was my saving grace - not being a star on a hit show. It kept me working and kept me grounded.

Being very famous is not the fun it sounds. It merely means you're being chased by a lot of people and you lose your privacy.

I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the Earth because I figure a) They pay my salary and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say just come on up.

I never thought about being famous.
