'George' exploits John Kennedy Jr.'s cult of celebrity at a time when Americans are hungry for icons, not heroes.
I absolutely realize that a celebrity spokesperson is not ideal.
I've been a minor celebrity since I was 23 years old.
I prefer being as far from the centre of celebrity as possible.
It's never a good idea for a celebrity to sign autographs or take pictures if a crowd is gathering.
To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way.
I often find myself worrying about celebrities. It's an entirely caring thing; it's not like the people who commission those photographs with cruel arrows to go on the covers of the celebrity magazines. The photographs show botched plastic surgery, raging eczema, weight gain and horrible clothes for maximum schadenfreude.
I believe celebrity spoils people - some worse than others.
I feel like when you're a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you're a real person.
It's profoundly disorienting to go from zero to celebrity.
People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity.
Not only do I have celebrity, but I have notoriety, which is sometimes more seductive.
I don't think I'm a celebrity. Maybe I'm a cult figure?
Royalty is completely different than celebrity. Royalty has a magic all its own.
I don't like being a celebrity, really... Some people get greater praise than they deserve because they have had exposure in the media. I don't think I agree with that at all.
If you're an actor, there's going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell. For me, they're the more dangerous lies to come to terms with.
I don't do celebrity endorsements. My work with Conservation International is a good use of whatever celebrity I might have to draw attention to important problems. I have the same responsibility as everyone to reduce consumption and to teach children to respect the environment.
I think one of the greatest advantages we had on the show growing up was being exposed to Mr. Cosby - being exposed to his work ethic, being exposed to how he handles the job of celebrity and living in the public eye... I think that all had a real significant impact.
Celebrity is quite a fraught word. It is not something I aspire to, but I can certainly see why it could be.
The more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you're putting yourself out there all the time, you're not holding anything back.
I want to be an artist. I don't want to be a celebrity.
I'm not a celebrity. I don't call myself a celebrity. I'm an actor.
The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.
There are 38,000 people dying of hunger each day and most are children. And, being a celebrity, I communicate about it as much as I can.
If I hadn't become a celebrity, I'd probably be an alcoholic.
I have three other siblings, so it's all very equal - even when I get a little cocky, which I usually do. My brother keeps me in a headlock. He says that I'm not a celebrity in this house. I think I'm really chilled out and grounded.
'Celebrity Apprentice' has more integrity and is the most straightforward show I've ever seen.
If an interview just serves the idea of celebrity, then I think that sucks. I don't want to do that.
America has a love-hate relationship with celebrity. We love to follow celebrities, but we also love to mock them. And secretly, we believe we're better than they are.
I don't think I'm a celebrity. I'm just a guy from east Texas who loves cars and airplanes.
Well, I refer to 'Celebrity Jeopardy ' as the short-bus 'Jeopardy,' because it is a lot easier. Like, there was a whole column basically naming stores in New York.
I just think when you are dressing a celebrity, for me, I'm hopefully adding a moment. I always say, 'What role do you want to play?' when we start a fitting.
Celebrity gives us delusion of self importance.
I tip like crazy. They'll remember me. Celebrity can be expensive.
I think when people hear about a celebrity writing a book of any kind, the assumption is that it was dictated to a ghostwriter.
I don't want people to look at me as someone who is just this celebrity person.
