Gretchen Carlson Quotes

The whole business of getting famous was good fun, but it was a long time ago.

There's so much craziness that comes along with being a movie star that you can get so confused. Unless you've spent your whole life waiting to be the centre of attention, it's pretty terrifying.

The real big stars only keep this up for about seven years.

I was a teen idol and that has a short shelf life.

It was like I was Hannah Montana! I was a normal girl from Pittsburgh one minute and then a pop star the next!

I don't want to be a rock star. I had my 15 minutes of fame.

I don't really miss the Hollywood lifestyle.

Some people can handle fame, some can't.

I wouldn't like to be that famous, I value my privacy. Mind you, Miss Piggy enjoys every moment of it. If it were not for me, she would spend all her time in the limelight.

People think being famous is so glamorous, but half the time you're in a strange hotel room living out of a suitcase.

I think when I was younger, I wanted to be a star, until I became a star, and then it's a lot of work. It's work to be a star. I don't enjoy the stardom part. I only enjoy the creative process.

I try to keep myself as normal as possible. Stardom is transient. People forget you after a while.

You're never quite prepared for the inundation of stardom, or whatever you want to call it.

One day, you're a nobody, and the next, you're in a movie that everybody is talking about. But Hollywood has a way of knocking you back down to Earth.

I'm uneasy with fame so I do my best to avoid places that will bring me more attention.

It's strange for my friends when they see me on TV and in magazines, because the person that they see doing interviews and pictures on the red carpet is not the person that they know.

A lot of people say I'd miss show business if I quit. I'd miss some of it. Now it's the only life I know.

The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it, so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.

Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There's a lot of things that come with fame - it's what people in the limelight have to do.

I knew that people disliked me, and there always will be, but that's the price you pay for being in the limelight, so to speak.

The thing about being famous is, it's weird. The only people who get how weird it is are other famous people.

I don't know about this thing - being famous. I haven't figured it out yet. It still mystifies me.

Thank God I've never had the sort of intense fame that means you can't walk up the road. That sort of blazing stardom must be difficult to cope with and maintain; my career has just bubbled along happily.

I knew what show business was, which was why I didn't want in on that action. I saw what happens! You get it, and then you lose it.

Some people can only be happy being a star. What happens if and when the work dries up?
