For me I never never from the moment I started acting had a desire to be famous.

I'd die if I was Madonna. I'd die. God what a horrible way to live. And Michael Jackson! To be so famous and to feel so isolated. I feel so bad for them. I don't know how it feels and I hope it never happens to me.

I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.

I never wanted to be famous.

Quite frankly I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.

Famous pivot stories are often failures but you don't need to fail before you pivot. All a pivot is is a change is strategy without a change in vision. Whenever entrepreneurs see a new way to achieve their vision - a way to be more successful - they have to remain nimble enough to take it.

I'd had people say 'You'll enjoy being famous for a week and you'll never enjoy it again'. But I don't think I had that week. I may have been working and missed that moment.

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.

I never wanted to be the most famous the most beautiful the most extravagant.

Luckily I think I never really wanted to be famous I just wanted to make movies.
