Celebrity doesn't have anything to do with art or craft. It's about being rich and thinking that you're better than everybody else.
‐‐ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Celebrity gets you access to world leaders.
‐‐ Michael Douglas
Celebrity gives us delusion of self importance.
‐‐ Al Goldstein
Celebrity has become a burden. There are more demands on your time. People think it is glamorous to fly places. But it is not - even if you travel business class and stay in wonderful hotels, you end 10,000 miles away from home.
‐‐ Nouriel Roubini
Celebrity has become, for better or worse, an art form. An artist can use themselves as a medium to become a celebrity as a walking work of art.
‐‐ Jeffrey Deitch
Celebrity has lost its value - all you have to do is go on a reality TV show for six weeks and everybody knows your name.
‐‐ Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Celebrity has some amazing advantages, of course it does. You're given an extraordinary power. It's a door-opener. I might not have to queue for things.
‐‐ Geri Halliwell
Celebrity hits like a bomb.
‐‐ Jimmy Smits
Celebrity - I don't even know what that means. Obviously it's the same basic word as celebration, but I don't know what's being celebrated.
‐‐ James Woods
Celebrity is a big part of the American social system. I'm certainly grateful for what it's done for me, but I do think that celebrity is overdone in our society. I think it's got a dangerous side to it.
‐‐ Robert Redford
Celebrity is a gift. I'm very lucky.
‐‐ DJ Qualls
Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face.
‐‐ John Updike
Celebrity is a very tricky area to navigate.
‐‐ Minnie Driver
Celebrity is a weird appendage, which is useless unless you do something with it.
‐‐ Minnie Driver
Celebrity is a word I take great umbrage with. I'm actively anti-celebrity.
‐‐ Nicolas Cage
Celebrity is a word that I find offensive. That's the c-word. I hate it. It means no discernible talent. It means all you want is to be famous. It doesn't mean you're a writer, an actor, a mime. I think I wanna not be a celebrity.
‐‐ Bob Saget
Celebrity is absolutely preposterous. Entertainment seems to be inflating. It used to be the punctuation to your life, a film or a novel or a play, a way of celebrating a good week or month. Now it feels as if it's all punctuation.
‐‐ Hugh Laurie
Celebrity is death - celebrity - that's the worst thing that can happen to an actor.
‐‐ Glenn Close
Celebrity is hawking make-up, cars, everything; it's shifted.
‐‐ Janice Dickinson
Celebrity is intoxicating.
‐‐ Chris Pratt
Celebrity is quite a fraught word. It is not something I aspire to, but I can certainly see why it could be.
‐‐ Louis Theroux
Celebrity is ridiculous and silly and it's mad that people like me are listened to - you know, rap stars and movie stars.
‐‐ Bono
Celebrity is seen by a huge amount of people and certainly myself for a while as the pinnacle of society, of success. It is revered almost religiously, both the institution and its quickly growing member base.
‐‐ Jack Gleeson
Celebrity is something I've never been into, and never will be.
‐‐ Conleth Hill
'Celebrity' is sort of an idea. I mean, I get to do something extraordinary, but I don't think it makes me extraordinary. That's my opinion. I like to be an artist; I like to do things that are involved in the arts, but I don't think it makes me more special than a doctor, for example. A doctor is an extraordinary person.
‐‐ Justin Timberlake
Celebrity is the advantage of being known to people who we don't know, and who don't know us.
‐‐ Nicolas Chamfort
Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.
‐‐ Emily Dickinson
Celebrity is very weird.
‐‐ Javier Bardem
Celebrity! It's become the most disgusting word on the planet. It makes me sick to my stomach.
‐‐ Drew Barrymore
Celebrity life and media culture are probably the most overbearing pop-cultural conditions that we as young people have to deal with, because it forces us to judge ourselves.
‐‐ Lady Gaga
Celebrity means that I can affect people in a positive way.
‐‐ David Hasselhoff
Celebrity never really served me that well; it serves other people well.
‐‐ Casey Affleck
Celebrity nowadays is so fleeting.
‐‐ Aubrey O'Day
Celebrity or no celebrity, I think a lot of females deal with the fear of being abducted.
‐‐ Elisha Cuthbert
Celebrity poverty, that's the hidden scandal in Blair's Britain. You can't help but worry for them. A girl I knew developed X-ray eyes for celebrity sorrows. She taught me to read the subtext of the down-market celebrity interview, she knew all the Hollywood codes, and followed the deep backgrounds.
‐‐ Peter York
Celebrity's a pain in the backside - you're always on display.
‐‐ Rupert Graves
Celebrity seems totally at odds with authentic community and honest, real sorts of relationships.
‐‐ Rob Bell
Celebrity these days is completely for sale; it's not remotely mysterious. But there's something that remains glamorous and mysterious about royalty.
‐‐ Tina Brown
Celebrity, to me, is not a thing to seek.
‐‐ Aidan Quinn
Celebrity was a long time in coming; it will go away. Everything goes away.
‐‐ Carol Burnett
Celebrity was fun, and I had a good time.
‐‐ Mitch Gaylord
Celebrity watching and speculation is almost like a sport.
‐‐ Marc Anthony
Celebs says we have no time for love, but I wouldn't say that.
‐‐ Randeep Hooda
Celebs that hit the West Hollywood/Beverly Hills quadrant and places like the Urth Caffe are not exactly trying to keep a low profile; it's sort of like if LeBron James went to an ESPN Zone and then whined about being hounded for autographs.
‐‐ Stephen Rodrick
Celerity is never more admired than by the negligent.
‐‐ Cleopatra
Celery leaves are an underused ingredient, most likely because supermarkets sell mostly leafless stalks.
‐‐ Yotam Ottolenghi
Celibacy is not a matter of compulsion. Someone is accepted as a priest only when he does it of his own accord.
‐‐ Pope Benedict XVI
Celibacy is not just a matter of not having sex. It is a way of admiring a person for their humanity, maybe even for their beauty.
‐‐ Timothy Radcliffe
Celibacy is the worst form of self-abuse.
‐‐ Peter De Vries
Celine Dion is my major inspiration.
‐‐ Jackie Evancho
