Sean Biggerstaff Quotes

I've been all around the world, and there will be a thousand kids crying out your name, and it's such a weird, visceral experience. It's like, it's disorienting.

Any actor who says he does not like so many people shouting his name would be lying.

It was like that for the first six months after 'E.T.' was in cinemas. I'd go out and get mobbed. I was a shy kid, and being approached by adults all the time just freaked me out.

It's different hearing girls I don't even know scream my name.

I think I have just always had an awareness that when you go to a premiere and people start cheering and shouting your name and stuff, they are shouting at a perception of you that they have.

And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it's not real. And it's totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can.

If I'm a star, then the people made me a star.

There are people who want photographs and autographs when they meet me.

We're just actors, man, just part of things. We're just doing our jobs, like everyone else does their jobs. The adulation for us is much more because we are always in the public eye. But I never became an actor because I wanted people to scream out my name.

I have received more fulfillment and adulation than I would ever know what to do with in terms of show business.

I love to know that in all parts of the world, people want me. I need the attention.

I don't get recognized all the time, but it tends to happen more in America, and people are so lovely when they do.

I love being recognized, I love people liking me, I love the fact that people scream when I go out. I think I'll miss all that when it's taken away.

I think for any actor to say they don't like attention is ridiculous. Of course we love attention. But getting attention is different than pretending the attention means something.

I was overwhelmed when people started to know who I was.

There's no such thing as unwanted attention for an actor.

I don't know if I'm a heartthrob or if I want to be one! I heard that I get the most fan mail. It's very flattering, and lovely to be popular with the public.

Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.

And it was only released in London last week, so when I go back to England Monday or whatever, I am expecting heaps of adulation. I'm hoping there is. If that doesn't happen I will be disappointed.

I never got why actors don't like it when a fan comes up to them on the street. It is cool that someone recognizes what you do and makes you feel like you live in a community.

You know, one of the biggest thrills I have is when famous people recognize me from Taxi.

Some people will go to the opening of an envelope. They live their lives in the public eye and get off on it, they need it. They need that kind of adoration. If their name isn't in the tabloids once a week they feel like a failure.

As a sportsperson, the best thing is people recognising you and loving you for what you do. For me, glamour is 100 people in the hotel feeling happy to see you.

It's a trip but it hasn't crossed over to the point where women are throwing their panties at me.

What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.
