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.
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.
Being on television, being recognizable, this is unnatural.
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.
