A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
I never really had a celebrity crush when I was little. I know some of my friends have posters up on their bedroom wall; I was never really about that.
There are charms made only for distant admiration.
I can only admire people who I have never met and are dead - because you know so much about anyone who is alive.
Celeb crushes? Chris Brown - I hope he doesn't really find out.
I never get star-struck. I never fanboy. Ever, ever, ever.
I love Mickey Mantle. Would I have felt the same if I had known when I was eight years old what I know now?
I think: 'Wouldn't it be great to work with Bill Murray?' And then I'm like, 'You know what, just appreciate Bill Murray from afar, don't find out that maybe he's not the dude you want to work with.'
But the disparaging of those we love always alienates us from them to some extent. We must not touch our idols; the gilt comes off in our hands.
I don't think I have any celeb crushes!
I have a girl crush on Rachel Bilson. She's so cute, I just want to put her in my pocket. I love her style, and I'm fascinated by everything she wears, and I think she's a really sweet and kind person. She's cute. I like her.
I wanted Lillian Hellman to be perfect because I wasn't perfect myself. I really wanted a mentor.
