Lee Mack Quotes

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

There are those, I think, who are attracted to the glitz of celebrity life. I am not one of them.

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.

I've never been interested in celebrity.

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

The life of an actor can be very enviable.

Americans just don't know what being a movie star's all about.

The lifestyle that comes with being an actor in a successful TV show isn't something I gravitate toward.

I feel like I'm playing more of a role walking down the red carpet than when I'm playing an ordinary woman covered in sweat.

I didn't really want to be a movie star. I thought they were so screwed up!

I have friends who are movie stars, and I think it's just as hard a job as being a working actor. But it's a different job, and it's not the one I want.

I don't really miss the Hollywood lifestyle.

It's so crazy in Hollywood.

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.

People just assume that if you're famous, you're in Hollywood.

Walking down the red carpet, suddenly I felt very special and different. All the flashlights from cameras and requesting voices from the media, the scene, it was just like what I remembered seeing on TV or a movie when I was a little girl - the scene only when movie stars appeared.

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.

As young, hot actors living in Hollywood, you get even more attractive.

I don't necessarily need Hollywood.

Just as many people flee Hollywood as those who flock to it. Hollywood can be an acquired taste.

I am an outsider looking in, absolutely. You're not going to see me at the Academy Awards 'Vanity Fair' party any time soon. I'm not somebody who, no matter where I go, there are paparazzi or any of that nonsense. But I have a little window into that world, and I can enter it and dance around. I want to be the audience's ticket into the party.

In Hollywood, for me, it's all about the movie stars and the singers. Baseball players don't draw too much attention; we're low key. I'm good with faces and sometimes bad with names, but I'll walk up to somebody if I know who they are... show them some love.

Everyone wants to be a movie star or a model, to be in the papers, but few realise just what hard work it is, getting up early, and so on.

I like playing dress-up, and I love pretty jewels, but for me, being a 'movie star' would be a very dangerous place.
