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.
Only the public can make a star. It's the studios who try to make a system out of it.
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.
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.
