The minuses of celebrity include having to live with security and the knowledge that you may be stalked.

In the United States I am a great success but I am not a celebrity.

I got the wake-up call that no one is policing our oceans. I wondered how can I do anything? What really can I do to make things better? There are some perks to being a celebrity. My job is to be funny once in a while but it's my responsibility to make good use of it.

People don't want to listen to a celebrity tweeting about their charities and shows. That's why comedy writers do well - we put out little funny ideas.

Celebrity or no celebrity I think a lot of females deal with the fear of being abducted.

Celebrity culture it's everywhere isn't it? It's reality TV Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?

I think anybody who's famous has to deal with their fame in their own way and I dealt with it by making a film about a kid who's looking out into the world of celebrity obsession.

Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater not a real person.

Well I knew I wanted to be an actor and I didn't necessarily need or want to be famous or a celebrity actor.

In Los Angeles as I gained and lost celebrity then gained it again I often found myself wondering why I out of thousands like me had become famous.

The F-word is 'famous ' the C-word is 'celebrity' and S-word is 'star ' in my book. The other three words are fine - you can say those. But 'famous ' 'celebrity' and 'star ' I think are misused.

I could have been more famous if I did all the glitzy things but celebrity always seemed so unnecessary.

We need to teach our kids because there is such a celebrity culture at the moment that however rich you are however famous you are however glamorous you are everyone has to live by the same rules.

I never wanted to be a celebrity I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life I work really hard to not trade on it in any way.

I know I have this level of celebrity of fame international national whatever you want to call it but it's a pretty surreal thing to think sometimes that you're in the middle of another famous person's life and you think to yourself 'How the hell did I get famous? What is this some weird club that we're in?'

I have a great job writing for 'The Office ' but really all television writers do is dream of one day writing movies. I'll put it this way: At the Oscars the most famous person in the room is like Angelina Jolie. At the Emmys the huge exciting celebrity is Bethenny Frankel. You get what I mean.

What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.

When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity which is where I found myself for a large part of my life it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!

The whole celebrity culture thing - I'm fascinated by and repelled by and yet I end up knowing about it.

I can't see any value in being a celebrity famous for being famous.

I really hate the duties of being a celebrity like getting dressed up for the red carpet.

Celebrity to me is not a thing to seek.
