We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal private solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.

I always regarded people who want fame with a lot of suspicion. Unless you have a product to sell I don't know why anyone would want to be famous. I can't imagine what need that would fill.

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'm hardly famous. I wouldn't want to trade places with anyone else.

You're asking the wrong girl about fame. I'm hardly famous. I wouldn't want to trade places with anyone else.

I actually don't know anyone who wants to be famous for fame's sake at least not anyone I respect. But you need to have a certain amount of power in order to be able to do what you want.

I certainly don't want a child of mine to be famous or anyone I was very close to who isn't yet... It's the worst thing to be trapped in your house not be able to leave.

I definitely wanted to be an actor. I didn't want to be on TV I didn't want to be famous I didn't want to be anyone in particular I just wanted to do it. I see young people now who look at magazines or American Idol and their goal is to have that lifestyle - to have good handbags or go out with cute guys from shows or whatever. But I definitely wanted to be an actor.

None of my characters are rich or famous and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone.
