Sherry Stringfield Quotes

Fame gives you everything you never wanted.

All the things that happen to people in the industry today, the actors, what they have to put up with, all the people wanting to know every single moment of their lives - I think it's really sad.

I never thought being famous would be wonderful, but my limited exposure to celebrity has shown me the dark side big-time.

Being famous is a bit dangerous sometimes.

The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous....You know I didn't think they'd rake through my bins, I didn't expect to be photographed on the beach through long lens. I never dreamt it would impact my daughter's life negatively, which at times it has. It would be churlish to say there's nothing good about being famous; to have a total stranger walk up to you as you're walking around Safeways, and say a number of nice things that they might say about your work.

When it comes to education, there is no one site you can point to that you can say, 'They speak to the world, and that is the site where you go to learn.'

The problem with paparazzi is that it makes you question your boundaries, like, how do I say, 'That's enough guys?'

There is no good side to celebrity.

I'm just grateful I didn't have to spend my early 20s in front of paparazzi cameras.

I don't court paparazzi. I definitely don't like that part of it.

Indian celebrities have the media and fans permanently outside their homes, and that would make me really uncomfortable.

I don't buy the tabloids, but you're surrounded by it all and people tell you things they've read. I'd be sitting on a train looking over someone's shoulder and thinking: That's familiar... oh my God, it's me.

I'll take photographs with kids. People who want to take photographs with me. People who like the movies. People who supported me. I'll do that all day, all night, that's fine. But the bombardment of the paparazzi is just... I truly don't understand. It just feels like this kind of gluttonous, horrific sport. It's like sport.

I think if you do a lot of interviews, you're laying yourself open. If you put yourself out, accept every invitation to every premiere, then you can't really complain when people knock on your front door and photograph you in the street.

I've been chased through airports with a screaming baby because the photographers are ruthless, and they want the picture.

Celebrities are the fodder of much of the media business, so they're always interested in making you seem provocative when you're not, or trying to bring you some sort of embarrassment by revealing something you'd rather not have revealed. That's the downside of celebrity.

That is the biggest form of bullying ever, the paparazzi. Printing lies, making accusations, it's just bullying.

When your best friend dies, and you're crying on the balcony, and TMZ is taking pictures of somebody comforting you saying, 'Ooooo, scandalous' - that's the worst part of fame.

The physical thing of having a man following you around all day trying to take your photograph - it's eerie. There is a pure physical response. If you go up and kick a dog, it will bite you. But with photographers, you can't do that.

The paparazzi have got worse for everyone over the years. It has just become such a big deal. No-one in this business really has much privacy.

They're hungry for something they know nothing about, but we, we know all too well that the price of fame is the loss of privacy.

I really hate people who feel their private lives should be paraded, and there are magazines like 'Hello!,' 'OK' and 'Bella' totally devoted to this.

I think a lot of young people don't realize the price of fame is a lot higher than they imagine.

You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.

The problem with fame is you no longer belong to you. You lose your persona and become the object of other people's obsession. I feel watched 90% of the time, but that is something I drew with the cards that I drew.
