Willow Shields Quotes

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.

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.

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

Every time I walk down one of those red carpets, you think I'd be used to it after all these years, but it's like it's happening for the first time.

I am a child of Hollywood and dreams. To me, to be on the red carpet is the best place in the world.

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.

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

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.

I have always been a Malibu Man, like all actors.

I've never been interested in celebrity.

The fact is, I never wanted to be a movie star.

I don't necessarily need Hollywood.

Hollywood is not suited for me, and I am not suited for it.

I never took to Hollywood.

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

I'm not a Hollywood guy.

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.

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

I don't go to premieres I'm not involved in.

Celebrity was fun, and I had a good time.

I wanted to be a movie star. But movie stars are not what they used to be.

I don't want to go to Hollywood.

I'm not the Hollywood type. I'm not going to pack up my bags and let me move to Hollywood and stuff like that.

I think that being isolated from the Hollywood world of premieres and red carpet events was probably good for me because I could ease into those at will and by my own choice. But in other aspects, when it comes to fanfare, Hawaii is nuts and in L.A. they're all so jaded. They don't care.
