I am a closet toy freak. I started chasing after some things as far as Star Wars toys - some very rare stuff.
It was a few days later I came out to Hollywood for a screen test, and so did a lot of other people. So, I really didn't think I would get it. I was definitely the one that was least likely to get it, because everyone else was an already established star.
If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world, a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now, I made movies - and I have a nice house, a nice car. I'm fortunate, happy and grateful. Life is good.
Distribution has really changed. You can make a record with a laptop in the morning and have it up on YouTube in the afternoon and be a star overnight. The talent on YouTube is incredible, and it can spread like wildfire. The downside is that it's very hard to convince the younger generation that they should pay for music.
That was the first time ever in history that anybody got Special Guest Star. I started that whole nonsense.
I wanted to star in a western opposite Robert Redford. That was my plan for my life.
Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star.
I'm a huge karaoke fan. Oh my God. I'm one of those girls who don't give the mic away. It's a problem. I'm a closeted pop star.
This obsession with celebrity culture is really unhealthy. I don't want to live my life like that, and I don't want to be a typical pop star.
I have been told by people that I should not be seen clubbing with good-looking women, but I can't see why not. Why be a pop star otherwise?
Besides me wanting to be an artist, I wanted to be a movie star.
I'm a singer and working on my second album. I write and produce. There is so much more that satisfies me. So there's not just this one ambition to become an American movie star. Because I will never become an American movie star.
To become a big movie star like Joan Crawford, you need to wear blinders and pay single-minded attention to your career. Nobody paid attention to me, including me.
I like 'Star Wars.' I mean, I don't go to the conventions and dress up like Obi-Wan Kenobi or anything, but I like watching the movies.
I'm enormously proud of the fact that Star Trek has really not just sparked an interest, but encouraged, a few generations of people to go into the sciences.
'Star Trek' is about a bunch of disparate people and what they're capable of when they work together.
I just want to be an inspiration. I'm a rock star, I'm Future Hendrix.
Rock stardom and all that stuff like that was never like my main M.O., my main M.O. is musical growth, and if I become a rock star in the process, great!
But I'm not imaginative. I couldn't look into the future, like Star Wars or Robots or anything like that.
I want to try something different in Hollywood, to tell the audience I am not just an actor star - I am an actor, too.
I wasn't straining at the bit to become a movie star any more than I had plotted to get out of vaudeville and into Broadway musicals.
If Madison Avenue advertising executives were to pick a song that would best represent America, the last one they would choose is 'The Star Spangled Banner.'
I grew up watching 'Star Trek.' I love 'Star Trek.' 'Star Trek' made me want to see alien creatures, creatures from a far-distant world. But basically, I figured out that I could find those alien creatures right on Earth. And what I do is I study insects.
I think any movie star who refuses autographs has a hell of a nerve.
Every comic is really a frustrated rock star.
Hollywood stops hiring their star leading ladies when they turn 40. It's very defeating.
Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.
It's not my ambition to be a big star.
The only answer to the question 'Which is the worst of the 'Star Wars' movies?' is, there is no worst 'Star Wars' movie. There - one might be the least amazing and fantastic, but there's none that is the worst of the 'Star Wars' movies.
I am constantly being asked about individuals. The only way to win is as a team. Football is not about one or two or three star players.
I have yet to see one completely unspoiled star, except for the animals - like Lassie.
Who cares if a movie star has an opinion unless the person is very well informed?
I'm the first has-been star singer ever to sing with the circus. I mean, Presley sang with the circus, but that was before he became a star.
I would've been a really big silent movie star.
I did movie star impressions as a kid in high school. Somehow they just got out of hand.
The thing about 'Star Trek' is that it is not judgmental. You can do what ever you want, within reason.
