My philosophy was if I just do good work someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I'm way way too old now mate. That boat's sailed.

You don't have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. I'd like more people to know that it's there. Women's achievements still aren't recognised enough in many areas.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

I want to be in 'Glee ' but I'm told I'm not famous enough to be a cameo yet.

I'm not cut out to be a famous person I can't do my hair and makeup well enough.

I wanted to go hide. I wasn't looking to be more famous I'm famous enough.

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 hear the way people talk about the children of famous people. They're not treated very well. The presumptions are usually quite awful. So I tried to establish myself with a couple of movies. After 'Juno' I thought: 'I think I've defined myself enough as my own director that I'd love to work with my father.'

Forget about being world famous it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.

It has to be real and I think a lot of the problems we have as a society is because we don't acknowledge that family is important and it has to be people who are present you know and mothers and fathers both are not present enough with children.
