Jason Bateman Quotes

I'm used to the public knowing me, knowing about me.

A movie star is not an artist, he is an art object.

I don't know if I'll ever get used to walking into the local shop or a local restaurant and having three or four people recognize me.

Fame is one thing, notoriety is another.

I've never not been famous.

For me, I walk a line of fame and infamy. I walk the line of celebrity and non-celebrity.

I'm not famous; I am simply very well-known to certain people. Famous is something different.

I don't conduct myself like a rock 'n' roll star in my day-to-day living. Am I a celebrity? Yes. Do people recognize me on the street? Yes, they do. But at the same time, it's not a media center out here. People get used to you.

I often get recognized on the street.

The thing I get a lot is, 'You've got a very recognisable face.' I'm never quite sure what to make of it.

Fame should be left to the film stars.

It must be odd, being recognisable. I would hate to lose that anonymity. It happened for a while with 'Spooks.' No one notices me now.

I don't maybe follow the normal star profile, and it's not something that I particularly want to embrace in terms of the publicity thing and wanting to be famous and known.

I didn't get into this for fame, I genuinely didn't. I love acting, and I know that's a cliche, but I didn't, really, I was very naive when it came to the whole being recognized thing.

I still remember going to a smart restaurant in Los Angeles, and the maitre d' knew my name and showed me straight to a table even though we hadn't booked. I get stopped for autographs by people from Sweden on the tops of mountains.

I don't necessarily want to be famous.

I was never really aware of being famous. Being in a magazine or on a billboard - that really didn't register to me at all when I was younger. People would come up to me and recognize me, but I was very fortunate in that people were always so warm.

I love what I do for a living, but the other side, that aspect of being famous or a celebrity's got zero interest to me.

I don't consider myself to be a celebrity. If anything I'm a minor celebrity or a TV star or whatever.

I find it so weird when the media calls me 'small screen super star.' I don't think I'm one!

I want to be famous.

I did not expect to become a celebrity or be known by the public at all.

I don't want to be a celebrity. I never, ever did.

I can headline a festival and then literally, 10 minutes later, be walking around, and nobody notices.
