As big as Metallica are, they're still not like a pop act. As big as they are, they're still not U2 or Lady Gaga. It's still underground.
There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.
I get recognized just often enough to keep my ego bouncing along, but not so much that I can't go places.
However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable.
I spend the majority of my time in New York and LA. I feel like a large part of my following and my fans are probably in New York and LA because of the work that I do is very New York-LA-centric. So people do recognize me. But it's nothing overwhelming at all.
I'm probably slightly more famous than I've been comfortable with. Famous enough to have my phone calls returned is about as famous as I want to be.
I'm not a movie star. People know me, but they don't necessarily know what they know me for. I get recognised, but it's not like Justin Bieber. It's a nice thing, people are cool.
I don't get recognised that much in the street.
I never hid out. I was never big enough a star.
I get recognized now and again, but the paparazzi aren't following me around.
I think you have to be in an insane stratosphere in terms of fame in order to get offered really well-written scripts. Amanda Peet is definitely not in that group.
I get recognized somewhere in between like local meteorologist and national meteorologist.
I'm not unknown, yet I'm not super famous where I can't go anywhere.
You become megastars when superstars start reprising your roles.
I'm at that great level where fans will stop and say 'hi,' which I love, but the paparazzi don't care, which is incredible.
You know, there's a moment when you're famous when it's unbearable to go out because you're too famous. And then there's a moment when you're famous just right.
I'm in that comfortable niche where I'm not that famous and sometimes people do need to put a barrier between them and their followers. When you're real famous you need to do that but I'm not that famous so I don't need that kind of barrier.
When I'm out and about, it's rare for me to be recognized. But for some reason, every now and then, someone will know who I am. It might be because my picture occasionally appeared in 'Weekly Jump.'
I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.
I want to be in 'Glee', but I'm told I'm not famous enough to be a cameo yet.
I'm very well known in the industry and relatively well known by people who are aficionados and what not, but outside of that - no.
Half the people think I write Obama's speeches; the other half think I'm on 'Entourage.' So I'm at the level of fame where people kind of know who I am, but they confuse me with other people.
If somebody can make a joke about you on TV, that's so beautiful. You've affected pop culture to that degree.
I’m famous, but I’m not famous like freaking Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston.
He will not be a speaker mentioned much in history.
