I could have been more famous if I did all the glitzy things but celebrity always seemed so unnecessary.

I never wanted to do biography just to tell the life of a famous man. I always wanted to use the life of a man to examine political power because democracy shapes our lives.

It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.

The good thing about L.A. is that there's always someone more famous 100 yards away from me.

Ever since grammar school I knew I wanted to be famous - I always wanted to be a singer.

People don't get through to the essence of you right away - it's always the famous 'girl' or the famous 'girlfriend'. I'd rather be known for myself.

Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.

I always loved working as an actress but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can and I think I did. And eventually I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.

Famous people come up to me but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.

Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else.
