I'm famous. That's my job.
Hollywood sold its stars on good looks and personality buildups. We weren't really actresses in a true sense, we were just big names - the products of a good publicity department.
Being a celebrity is a business.
I am a tip-top starlet. That is my job that I am paid to do.
Journalists have made celebrities into an industry.
When you become famous, being famous becomes your profession.
The whole ecosystem of celebrity has broken down for writers. If you go back to the '50s, '60s, and '70s, writers were on TV a lot, and they were allowed to misbehave a lot.
Only the public can make a star. It's the studios who try to make a system out of it.
That 'who's the sexiest' business is a crock that the media cooked up to sell magazines, so while I say thank you very much, I don't put much stock in it.
Award functions are a big sham. It's a money-making television programme.
I was interested in the idea of celebrity... some very untalented people getting very successful and making a lot of money for not a lot of work, sometimes.
The celebrity-making machine-photographers, paparazzi, press and stuff like that-can be ruthless.
I see stardom very clearly as a construct that's been created in order to sell things.
