If you wanna be famous, then it's okay if the music is fake, because fame isn't real.
I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.
Celebrity seems totally at odds with authentic community and honest, real sorts of relationships.
Now, I guess, people want stars. People are trying to invent stars.
I have no connections here; only gusty collisions, rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse. ... I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn, a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement. People want to push the buttons and see me glow.
Being on television, being recognizable, this is unnatural.
Artists shouldn't be made famous. They have this huge aura of almost god-like quality about them, just because their craft makes a lot of money. And at the same time it is a forced importance... It is man-made so the press can feed off it.
You cannot make a teenage idol.
When you look at sort of pop stardom now, some of these singers, it seems like the idea of them was created in a marketing meeting, and then they just found someone to sort of fulfill that role.
People talk to me about celebrities all the time and which ones do I admire, and it's so hard because you can't tell who's doing it for themselves and who hired a stylist.
