Amanda de Cadenet Quotes

I guess I don't have a proper perspective on my fame; if I did, I don't think I'd like it.

I had a sense of who I was before I got famous.

Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.

Give yourself a healthy bit of distance between your fame and reality because they are two different things.

Being famous hasn't changed my perception of myself - I've just grown up.

I think I have just always had an awareness that when you go to a premiere and people start cheering and shouting your name and stuff, they are shouting at a perception of you that they have.

I didn't necessarily want to be famous growing up, but I knew I would be a good famous person because I'm not offended if somebody comes up to me and knows things about me and wants to engage me in a conversation.

People recognize me - but if you've been in the public eye as long as I have and people don't recognize you, I feel bad about myself.

It's true I'm more widely recognised now and get invited to take part in all sorts of events and projects but as a person, I haven't changed.

I look at myself objectively and in a way I see myself as a commodity. Your name becomes somehow outside yourself. Now, when I'm at home being Mrs. Scarfe, that's when I'm most myself.

It took being famous to make me cool, which, by the way, I never forgot.

I'm basically a professional nerd, and I'm still not cool. I'm around people who are cool sometimes, and I know I'm not them. But that's OK; I don't care.

I really don't know that I'm iconic. I don't even know that people think I'm cool.

I'd change nothing in my career path. I was never built for being a handsome teenage star. That's just not in my psyche, I think. I would have hated to have grown up famous.

I had a period when I was sixteen where I started to get a big head. I was going through puberty, and I was nominated for an Academy Award. My head got inflated. My friends were the real ones who said, 'You're acting different.' But the truth is that I don't need that, because I don't get out of hand.

I guess my voice is more recognizable than I know!

I've always been the popular one in my school, in my town. Everyone always knew who I was.

I was someone that loved to seek attention when I was younger.

Everybody knows who I am.

I won't lose my mind now that I have fame, nor will I lose myself once it goes away.

I looked in the mirror and saw a lot of stuff, but 'movie star' was never one of them.

I never actually got noticed on the street for 'Harry Potter.' I did it at such a young age, when I was going through puberty and changing up my hair and how I looked.

I never aspired to be up front. When I was a kid, I didn't ever look in the mirror with a hairbrush going, "Hey, I'm Elvis!"

I often think how celebrated I am. / It is difficult not to think how celebrated I am. / And if I think how celebrated I am / They know who know that I am new / That is I knew I know how celebrated I am / And after all it astonishes even me.

I don't know, the word 'famous' just sounds really weird to me, because I'm just me.
