Celebrity Thing Quotes

Fame, adjustment, and purpose

These celebrity thing quotes describe fame as something that arrives almost as a side effect of talent, a tension also explored in Celebrity Quotes.

This celebrity thing has been interesting. It's hard to get used to, because I don't see myself as a celebrity.

Quotes by Ron Stallworth

I get embarrassed on the red carpet at awards ceremonies. The whole celebrity thing is embarrassing.

I was an unusually private person - in a way, kind of insufferably so. I think I thought the celebrity thing when it happened was a temporary phenomenon, and I was above it.

Quotes by Jane Pauley

Quotes by Jamie Foxx

Angry Quotes

The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing.

Quotes by Alanis Morissette

This stupid celebrity thing is just a consequence of being good at what you do. I mean, no one would photograph David Beckham if he wasn't the best attacking midfielder in the country - much as I hate Man. U!
