Tyler Perry’s ‘Madea Goes to Jail!’ Which, I have to tell you, of everything that I’ve ever done in my career, that’s the only thing that’s perked up the ears of my nieces and nephews. That is it, that’s done it for them. That made me a bona fide star in their eyes!

Marcia Gay Harden

It’s like that scene from The Player when they talk about merging Star Wars and Kramer vs. Kramer, or whatever. You could do that with music and it would just be awful.

I like to consider myself a star – a star, that when you look in the sky, it’s always there. And on a clear night… a shooting star comes by, and get a little thrill, and you make a little wish. You need both types of stars, the shooting and the constant stars. The heavens include them all.

Seth Green

I think every film actor secretly wants to be a rock star as well; just that part of the job which requires the extrovert in you. Even if you’ve become an actor because it’s your way of hiding in plain sight, there’s still part of you which has that craving.

Ben Barnes

No, I ain’t a star – I’m just a kid from Brooklyn, living his dream.

Eric Metaxas

I’m not complaining at all but ‘A Star Is Born’ hasn’t helped my career in like, opportunity terms.

Willam Belli

Sending greeting cards to aliens is hardly a new idea. In 2005, Craigslist solicited messages for broadcast to space by a transmitter in Florida, and in 2008, NASA beamed a Beatles song to the North Star (Polaris), on the assumption that any putative Polarians would appreciate the Fab Four’s 1960s-genre compositions.

Jared Isaacman

Star Trek made dreaming legitimate.

At 17, I wanted to be a rock star.

Anthony McCarten

Adam F. Goldberg

I do live like a rock star, but it’s not as great as it sounds. It’s a lot of traveling.

Ron White

My father was always very interested in space. I watch Star Trek and all those things, but I always had a different picture in my mind… maybe closer to Alien. I don’t see it in space as much as I do see it in different planets, with each having its own strange characters.

Sigourney Weaver

I don’t know if I want to be a big star though.

Darrell Hammond

I just won’t sing and dance in a film. But when you have a chance to star in an Abbas-Mustan film, why will anyone let it go? I have been lucky to do films which have been different from each other.

Kiara Advani

The ultimate dream is a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Thalia

I think Jerry Lee is sad. As a musician, he was far more talented than Elvis Presley. Everybody down in Memphis knows that. Elvis became a movie star because he was beautiful. Not that Elvis wasn’t talented, but Jerry Lee Lewis was incomprehensibly talented as a musician.

Alec Baldwin

Real elation is when you feel you could touch a star without standing on tiptoe.

Doug Larson

If you dress like a movie star, you have me.

Steven Cojocaru

I love you, what star do you live on?

Conrad Aiken

I think, actually, any morality system that rewards only the extremes is a flawed system. Players don’t approach life that way, they don’t approach games that way, and they shouldn’t be trained to approach games that way. They shouldn’t be in the ‘Star Wars’ mode where, ‘I’ve got to choose every good option.’

Chris Avellone

I’m still ambivalent about Hollywood. I think that’s why I made ‘Star 80.’ To deal with the ambivalence. I really wanted to succeed Gene Kelly, and I thought it was a fair bet.

Bob Fosse

You’ve seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They’re never really there. They’re in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.

Rider Strong

Thandie Newton

My favorite anime movie is ‘Fist of the North Star’.

John Cena

I was born on October 21, 1956 in Burbank, California. My father, Eddie Fisher, was a famous singer. My mother, Debbie Reynolds, was a movie star. Her best-known role was in ‘Singin’ In The Rain.’

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it’s time for special counsel.

Bruce Babbitt

A movie star is not an artist, he is an art object.

Richard Schickel

Yes, but if you take that crap and put a star in it, then you’ve got something.

George Lucas wanted this moving camera for all of the photography in Star Wars. He was willing to take a risk with the concepts that I advanced with regard to ways for doing that.

Al Yankovic

I’ve never wanted to be the hottest star. I always wanted to do good movies.

Laura Whitmore

He is a world star. Every fan would like to have Neymar in their team.

Marcelo

I never starved. And you know, whatever talent I have, I’ve relied on that, versus image or star. I have just said, ‘Hire me if you want somebody good.’ I tried to be as good as I could be every time out, and that’s kind of bridged the decades.

Jeff Daniels

That’s the beauty of being a straight-to-DVD star. It really helps you stay under the media’s radar.

Ron White

In that sense, I became politicized because the people in the coal mining villages who were involved in the struggle knew why they were there. But they couldn’t understand why some pop star from London would want to be there.

Billy Bragg

I did a few movies, but the word ‘star’… I cannot compare to a star like Clint Eastwood. I used to call Clint ‘Larry Dickman’ when he would come to my show; then, he started using the name when he would go under cover in a ‘Dirty Harry’ movie. That’s why he’s a movie star… he’s so creative.

Don Rickles

The thing is, I’ve always wanted to be a star. I’ve always wanted to be an Elvis Presley or a Tupac – like, a huge icon.

G-Eazy

It’s always great to discover a new star of tomorrow.

Brian De Palma

One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you’re a star you’re dead already. You’re embalmed.

Dustin Hoffman

I always felt like a movie star.

Divine

I conclude, therefore, that this star is not some kind of comet or a fiery meteor… but that it is a star shining in the firmament itself one that has never previously been seen before our time, in any age since the beginning of the world.

Tycho Brahe

I’m enormously proud of the fact that Star Trek has really not just sparked an interest, but encouraged, a few generations of people to go into the sciences.

LeVar Burton

Most people I know think that I’m crazy – but anybody who actually knew Billy Thorpe didn’t think that. When I was a young kid growing up in Adelaide, he was a big pop star – a well-dressed, nice young guy seen on television every week. Mums liked him.

Jimmy Barnes

I’ve been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that’s all anyone can expect.

Angie Dickinson

I have been considerably picky for somebody who’s not a movie star, and sometimes I get frustrated.

Emily Meade

If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you’ll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you’ll get to where you want to be.

Eddie Van Halen

If you try to come off as this big-time star with an attitude, people don’t like that.

Selena

Mastering the paradox of star brands is very difficult and rare – fortunately.

Bernard Arnault

Why does everyone think the future is space helmets, silver foil, and talking like computers, like a bad episode of Star Trek?

Tracey Ullman

There are actually quite high profile British TV star cameos in it that you probably wouldn’t even notice, that the British wouldn’t even notice, let alone the American audience.

I’m not a real movie star. I’ve still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago.

Will Rogers

I had always seen myself as a star; I wanted to be a galaxy.

Twyla Tharp

I never set out to be a rock star, I set out to be a working musician.

One thing about ‘Star Wars’ that I’m really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That’s why I like the ‘Star Wars’ toys.

Watched Star Wars in 77 and that’s when I got into watching films. I was just blown away by it.

Debra Wilson

I didn’t come to New York to be a star, I brought my star with me.

The reader knows the writer better than he knows himself; but the writer’s physical presence is light from a star that has moved on.

John Updike

In the juniors, you are kind of a star, but just because you are a good junior doesn’t mean you will be a good pro.

Dominic Thiem

I always wanted to be a Vine star. I wasn’t, thank God.

Billie Eilish

What goes on inside a star is better understood than one might guess from the difficulty of having to look at a little dot of light through a telescope, because we can calculate what the atoms in the stars should do in most circumstances.

Richard P. Feynman

STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.

George Takei

I’m not a star. I don’t feel I’m so great. So how can I make you feel great just because you’ve got my signature on a piece of paper?

Mr. T

I’m a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds.

Mike Tyson

I had a very special family life. My mother and father made sure when we were home, we were part of the family, not a TV star. And the other thing: my father was fully employed while I was doing the series.

Jerry Mathers

Rock stardom and all that stuff like that was never like my main M.O., my main M.O. is musical growth, and if I become a rock star in the process, great!

Kip Winger

I’d be happy to do Star Trek again, if the writing was right.

Stephen Collins

For ‘Star Wars’ I had to develop a whole new idea about special effects to give it the kind of kinetic energy I was looking for. I did it with motion-control photography.

George Lucas

Diminutive worlds are more likely to be rocky, and lapped by oceans and atmospheres. In the vernacular of ‘Star Trek,’ these would be M-class planets: life-friendly oases where biology could begin and bumpy-faced Klingons might exist.

Seth Shostak

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

Stephen Hawking

I’m not a movie star, but I still get my photograph taken when I walk down the street, hundreds of times. I never say no.

Salt Bae

I have been working as an actor for 16-17 years now. The funny thing is I still feel awkward in communicating with the public as a star. It hasn’t been long since my drama ‘Goblin’ ended, and I’m looking forward for some time to rest.

Gong Yoo

If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are.

Alice Cooper

The main prank that we play with props is for people’s birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face – that’s always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who’s new.

Catherine Bell

Early in my life, without any supporting evidence, I fretted over what I believed was my fate: accidentally becoming an international pop star. The pages of my diary were filled with hypothetical ethical dilemmas.

Jenny Zhang

When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a star. I didn’t really know what all that meant. I didn’t know.

Dolly Parton

A telescope will magnify a star a thousand times, but a good press agent can do even better.

Fred Allen

You know, it’s strange when you’re a guest star, because everybody knows each other so well, and they’re relaxed, and they have a routine. So you kind of feel like you’ve just been brought up to the majors for one game, and you’re batting ninth.

Sam Lloyd

Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star.

Oscar Hammerstein II

You go through at least the first two years of Star Trek and you find some amazing stuff. Everything that was going on Gene put into the series. He just put strange costumes on the actors and painted them funny colours and left the same situation in.

Majel Barrett

I’ve always liked shape-shifter characters. I gravitated towards characters like Mystique from ‘X-Men,’ Zam Wesell from ‘Star Wars,’ and Tonks from ‘Harry Potter.’

Noelle Stevenson

I think I’d be pretty star struck over John Mayer. I’m a big fan of his music, and I think he’s great.

In my next life, I’m going to be a rock star. I was a ballerina in my last life.

Kate Moss

A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes.

I was the first wrestler ever in the history of wrestling to star in a major motion studio picture that became #1 box office of the weekend, and that gave the itch to I don’t know how many wrestlers.

Roddy Piper

In this business, until you’re known as a monster you’re not a star.

Bette Davis

Star Theatre in Shyambazar makes up a big chapter in my life. I worked there for three years during my struggling days.

Prosenjit Chatterjee

We live in a modest system, a galaxy called the Milky Way. If we named every star in the Milky Way and put them in the Hollywood telephone directory and stacked those telephone directories up, we’d have a pile of telephone directories 70 miles high.

John Rhys-Davies

I used to love the ‘Star Trek’ movies, ‘Wrath of Khan’ and stuff like that. Loved those movies when I was a kid. And ‘Star Wars’ obviously was hands-down probably – I mean I had the sheets. I was a big fan of that.

Michael Ealy

Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

Imelda Marcos

I turned to my mom and said, ‘I’m going to be a martial arts movie star.’ She didn’t believe me, and neither did my dad. They both thought I would grow out of it. That it was a phase. I decided then I was going to do it or die trying.

Scott Adkins

At Walsall I got away with a lot of things because I was the young star and they wanted to sell me from a business point of view.

Troy Deeney

Cooking is a great leveller. You can be a sports star, an actor, an entrepreneur, anything, but cooking strips it all away.

John Torode

The movies saved my life. I grew up in the great depression, the only child of a pair of star crossed lovers. My father lost his job. My mother drank. They fought. The movies were my escape.

Orson Bean

I think it’s so funny when people think they can’t control a movie star. They can. We’re just women, you know.

Esther Williams

Being a star comes with not just fame and fortune, but with awareness and responsibility.

Joanna Krupa

I think the potential for man is so enormous, if we can stay alive long enough, we’re going to be seeing a lot of what Star Trek is projecting.

Brent Spiner

I’m not going to be the rock star of the far right and frankly on the rock star of the far left.

Tom Barrett

When you wish upon a star, you just might become one.

Paula Abdul

I cannot possibly conceive of my planet Earth as the centre of a three-tiered universe. I know rather that the sun, around which my planet Earth revolves, is a middle sized star in a galaxy called the Milky Way that has over a hundred billion other suns or stars within it.

John Shelby Spong

You never start out being a star.

Julie Andrews

You still stand watch, O human star, burning without a flicker, perfect flame, bright and resourceful spirit. Each of your rays a great idea – O torch which passes from hand to hand, from age to age, world without end.

Karel Capek

Nobody teaches you to be a father. Nobody teaches you to be a husband. Nobody teaches you how to be a star. You have to learn to work with the tools.

David Soul

Meanwhile, politics is about getting a candidate in front of the public as a star, politics as rock’n’roll, politics as a movie.

Joe Eszterhas

I don’t see myself being perceived as a Bollywood star and I wouldn’t want to be that either.

Abhay Deol

I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn’t want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

Kurt Cobain

I’m not a presenter – I’m a star.

Gemma Collins

I don’t even know what TV star means. I know there’s a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.

David Morse

I wanted to be a star, not a gallery mascot.

Jean-Michel Basquiat

I don’t think I’m supposed to boss other people around just because I’m a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I’ve seen it happen. I don’t call those people out – they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.

Dolly Parton

My father was the role model I looked up to. My dad was an entertainer, too. I patterned my life after him. He wanted me to do better than he did. He never sold a record in his life, but to me, he was still a rock star.

Tracy Morgan

‘Star Wars’ hasn’t changed my life at all.

Natalie Portman

Bruce Springsteen’s a rock star. Elton John is a rock star. I’m a folk musician. Honestly, I think that’s true.

James Taylor

In the early days I had a very black-and-white view of everything. I think that’s kind of natural for anyone who’s just embraced Islam – or any religion – as a convert. It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I’d been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood.

Cat Stevens

I’ve never had a plan for any of this: there was never a plan for, ‘Right, I must get on the TV,’ ‘Right, I must have my own show,’ ‘Right, I must be a movie star.’ I don’t think like that. I haven’t ever had that sort of interest.

Matt Berry

I tend to lean toward a more minimal aesthetic, so when I use wallpapers in my interiors, I like for one or two prints to be the star of the show. I would recommend being careful in your use of strong prints so the room doesn’t get too busy. Use one print that dominates and one as an accent.

Bobby Berk

I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir.

David Bowie

We’ve heard from many teachers that they used episodes of Star Trek and concepts of Star Trek in their science classrooms in order to engage the students.

Patrick Stewart

From her first superheroine role in ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’ – which earned $275 million globally in 2001, back when that was real money – Jolie has been the one actress who can stand up to any male star and stare him down.

Richard Corliss

I used to think that success was being the number one, being everywhere, being the star, and nowadays, I think that success is to make big things happen.

Anitta

I’m a rock star because I couldn’t be a soccer star.

Rod Stewart

During the time I was on The Hardy Boys, I was also watching other people’s careers. I thought the next step was to be a movie star. I kept saying no to projects, and offers stopped coming in. I was no longer hot.

Parker Stevenson

I was only 11 when we filmed the pilot. The idea of a rapper being a star on a sitcom just wasn’t heard of.

Tatyana Ali

When I was growing up watching Marilyn Monroe, I learned that you can be very beautiful, very glamorous and very vulnerable and not give up your soul just because you were a movie star.

Sally Kirkland

My biggest regret is that my mother didn’t see me walk on to that London Palladium stage, being the star she always wanted me to be. But I always say that when she reached Heaven, she had a word with a few agents.

Bruce Forsyth

And I enjoyed the celebrity and the creativity that was involved in Star Trek.

William Shatner

I believe in the morals that I do. I believe in the projects I take part in and I think that has been my north star.

Scott Moir

‘Star Wars’ is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It’s what they want.

George Lucas

Star Wars Galaxies’ didn’t ever explain itself to you. It was horribly broken; it was glitchy in several significant ways. It was just this vast, expansive, beautiful universe with all these crazy idiosyncrasies.

Porter Robinson

If you’re a movie star, you get the girl, you lose the girl, and then you get her back. But if you’re a character like me, you lose the girl, then you get another one, then you get another one, then you lose them all, then you lose your life.

Michael Caine

Once a star dies, it’s gone forever. There are no new stars to take its place. Eventually, there will be no stars, and the universe will turn black. That really will be the end.

Jocelyn Bell Burnell

People suit their star sign. If someone is annoying me over and over, and I know they’re a Sagittarius, say, I’m more likely to forgive them. It comes down to my need for structure as a way of finding my bearings with people.

Jessie Cave

When I was making ‘Star Wars,’ I wasn’t restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, ‘I’m going to create a world that’s fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it.’

George Lucas

When I was working my way up, it seemed to me that only Westerns and ‘Star Treks’ or sci-fi movies could afford to get away with presenting the problems – like prejudice and desegregation, for instance – that we face in our everyday lives.

Ed Asner

You become so encapsulated in this world of being a star. People listen to what you say, you have this voice, it becomes unreal and you become far removed from the people you came from.

Tracey Ullman

I love to listen to pop music and I admire people who do that, but I don’t think I would ever be a very good pop star. I always leave that singing voice for the shower! I wouldn’t put it out in the world!

Katherine Jenkins

Drag me to the moon, to catch a star and seize its brilliance as I’m swept up in amorphous dust.

Bradley Chicho

Sure we’re in limos. We’re stars. How else is a star supposed to travel?

Deion Sanders

Most movie-goers are overdosing on star coverage; it’s the ultimate example of too much information.

Peter Bart

He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.

Confucius

When we started out in ’64, um, I was playing Number One, which was a woman second in command of a star ship.

Majel Barrett

I really enjoy playing villains, whether they’re realistic like Switchblade Sam or whether they’re a bit more over-the-top like Kruge in ‘Star Trek III’ or Judge Doom in ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit.’ It’s sort of a license just to be as bad as the script allows you to be – you can just go for it and have fun.

Christopher Lloyd

I didn’t know what to expect from a famous movie star; maybe that he’d be sort of stuck-up, you know. But not Gary Cooper. He horsed around so much… that I had a hard time painting him.

Norman Rockwell

The character I play in Star Quality says acting is the be-all and end-all of her life. I’m not like that. I do enjoy working and I give every job my best shot but I never feel, What on Earth am I going to do now?

Penelope Keith

It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I’d been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood.

Cat Stevens

It’s like people call me a rock star or this or that. And I go, ‘Don’t call me that. I don’t think of myself in those terms. If you have to call me anything, call me a chameleon.

Meat Loaf

I loved my childhood. They had the coolest toys back then. Star Wars, Transformers, laser-tag gun sets. Toy companies have really gone downhill.

Jon Heder

Warren Beatty has always acted like a Movie Star even when no one knew who he was.

Dwayne Hickman

My ultimate dream is to become a famous star because I love to sing.

Lucy Hale

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, ‘There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.’ But I’m not going to worry about them. I’m dreaming the hardest.

Marilyn Monroe

What I think is cool about Fender, and what originally drew me to them, was the Fender electric guitar headstock, which I’ve never seen on another ukulele. I feel like a rock star when I’m tuning it.

Grace VanderWaal

For me, I’m always looking for opportunities to work with people who are better than me, who are more experienced than me, people from whom I can learn. And who could I learn more from than someone with an unprecedented movie star career that has spanned over thirty years whose name is Tom Cruise?

David Oyelowo

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

Thomas Carlyle

I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.

Tom Sizemore

When you’re a guest star on a movie or a TV show, I always say it’s like being invited to a family reunion, but it’s not your family. So you don’t belong – they’re being nice to you, but you don’t fit in completely; you don’t know everybody’s story. You don’t have a history.

Ato Essandoh

I don’t wish stardom on anyone. When I hear people say, ‘this guy’s a star,’ I always say, ‘good luck.’

B. J. Armstrong

Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body’s final fall, nor the barrels of death’s rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world.

Roger Waters

The goal wasn’t to be a millionaire or to be a Hollywood star. That was not the goal. The goal was something about – the goal was to find the goal, but I knew where it was.

James Earl Jones

If you read my books, especially the Star Trek books and the Quest for Tomorrow books, you’ll see in them the core theme of the basic humanistic questions that Star Trek asked.

William Shatner

TV is a deformed vision, an excessive caricature. A chef has to stay an artisan, not become a star.

Alain Ducasse

The scary thing is how quickly everyone’s star fades. Therefore, to be a voice, you need to do television. You need to stay in the public eye for the public to care about you, to be a big enough voice to help where it is needed.

Arlene Phillips

When an opera star sings her head off, she usually improves her appearance.

Victor Borge

You can be known or be a star from anywhere – anywhere in the world.

Maverick Carter

Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn’t even the star of his own Halloween special.

Chris Rock

I don’t put myself into the category of ‘rock star writing his biography.’ That’s because we live our lives by falling into experiences. Things happen to us. Something you do takes hold of you, and then you do a lot of it.

Art Garfunkel

As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.

Bono

The formula is the star. I couldn’t work inside that formula.

Dianne Wiest

Achilles was like a rock star of his day so it made sense to have Brad Pitt playing him.

Wolfgang Petersen

I’d rather be a musician than a rock star.

George Harrison

I’m just excited to see myself on billboards. I’m getting ready to be a star.

Astro

The story being told in ‘Star Wars’ is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not.

George Lucas

He is a regular guy who absolutely is not attracted to his own celebrity. He’s a jokester, a little rough around the edges, with great heart and compassion; he loves his family. I feel very comfortable with him. I don’t see ‘Denzel Washington Star’; I just see Denzel.

Viola Davis

The whole of the hydrogen on the earth might be transformed at once and the success of the experiment published at large to the universe as a new star.

Francis William Aston

I’m not an actor, I’m a movie star.

Peter O’Toole

I am honored to be a Bond girl and be a part of the Bond legacy, To star in a video game with Connery, the original Bond, is incredible.

Maria Menounos

I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.

Audrey Hepburn

We started by playing girls who only married at the end of the picture. We didn’t play wives. That came later. But the most dreadful thing was when a star had to play a mother. That was the beginning of her professional end.

Lana Turner

The way ‘star’ used to be reserved for a small number of people, and when the star category became so vast, they came up with ‘superstar,’ and then they came up with ‘megastar.’

Tom Stoppard

Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. He does one kind of martial arts that Jet Li doesn’t know how to do, and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesn’t know how to do.

Jet Li

I showed my mom the movie then I told her the movie got bought and that it was gonna be shown in theatres and be on video. Everyone was really psyched about it. Everyone in my little town of hounds started to call me movie star.

Jason Mewes

I never got into this business thinking I’d be like a movie star.

Glenn Close

I don’t want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie. Nothing about being a celebrity is desirable. I’m an actor. It’s bizarre to me that everybody’s so obsessive.

Kristen Stewart

Besides me wanting to be an artist, I wanted to be a movie star.

Patti Smith

I don’t want my president to be a TV star. You don’t have to be on television every minute of every day – you’re the president, not a rerun of ‘Law & Order’. TV stars are too worried bout being popular and too concerned about being renewed.

Bill Maher

‘Star Wars’ is a galaxy a long time ago, far, far away. ‘Star Wars’ is not about our future.

Damon Lindelof

I mean, everybody’s star fades in every business; that’s just a natural part of life.

Susan Sullivan

‘Star Wars’ is very black and white, and honestly, I like it that way. But fantastical settings like that work best when the characters within them feel real. Real people have conflicts and make mistakes and get it wrong sometimes.

Claudia Gray

I’d worked in Clockwork Orange with Stanley Kubrick and since Stanley was such a prestigious director this opened all sorts of doors for me – one of them being Star Wars.

David Prowse

I think why people relate to ‘Star Wars’ is George Lucas is so brilliant at telling these stories that we relate to, but in such a fantastic environment with fantastic characters and things you want to believe in this story.

Dave Filoni

‘Star Trek’ speaks to some basic human needs: that there is a tomorrow – it’s not all going to be over with a big flash and a bomb; that the human race is improving; that we have things to be proud of as humans.

Gene Roddenberry

I think if you’re a good songwriter, that’s what you are first – not a star or celebrity.

Tom Cochrane

I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I’d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.

Milton Berle

I’m from the theater. I never wanted to be a star.

Sherry Stringfield

I don’t really have much to prove. I can easily go in a comfort zone, make two films a year, hype them because I’ve signed them as a star, make them cheap and they will be big hits.

Shah Rukh Khan

The studio have always claimed that the ship is the star of the show, especially when they’re renegotiating contracts.

Patrick Stewart

I surprised the hell out of myself when I got MVP for the 2018 All Star Legends Celebrity game. I had no idea I was going to get that.

The Miz

When you start making a movie, people want to know: Who’s the star power? And very early, I realized there’s not a lot of 26-year-old black actors who have been given the opportunity to be the lead of a film. It’s, like, Michael B. Jordan, and then we’re done.

Jordan Peele

It’s easy to be a movie star. The shoes are already there. They just put you in the shoes.

Jason Patric

I’ve never had any illusions about being a lead actor in films, because lead actors have to be of a certain kind. Apart from the beauty of looks and figure, which I cannot claim to have, there’s just a particular kind of ordinary-Joe quality that a film star needs to have.

Stephen Fry

A lot of people got lost in Hollywood while trying to become a star. They lost themselves.

Jennifer O’Neill

You gotta wear the right trousers if you’re gonna be a rock star.

Chris Martin

You’re not a star until you love yourself. Directors, yeah, they’ve got to love their own philosophies. But actors have to really love themselves.

Shekhar Kapur

Looking back on those days and little leaguer, the Hall of Fame is not even a blinking star, but through baseball travels and moving up the ladder, that star begins to flicker.

Wade Boggs

I did my very first film with Kirk in Detective Story when he was the greatest, greatest star in the world. I fell in love with him, had a crush on him then.

Lee Grant

Stars have always been very good at what they do. They are born and blessed with charisma and power over the entire nation. One glimpse of a star makes people go berserk. Such magic cannot be created. You are born with it – or not.

Manoj Bajpayee

Today everyone is a star – they’re all billed as ‘starring’ or ‘also starring’. In my day, we earned that recognition.

Bette Davis

Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you’re a director. Everything after that you’re just negotiating your budget and your fee.

James Cameron

I tried ‘Black Panther.’ I escaped from the cinema after 20 minutes. I thought it was as bad as ‘Star Wars.’ I hated ‘Star Wars.’

Gaspar Noe

I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.

Cat Stevens

As a kid, I watched every Madonna documentary and tour. I was obsessed with her – and with any pop star of the ’80s.

Kim Petras

There would be no Star Trek unless there were transporter malfunctions.

LeVar Burton

Harrison Ford was pretty content as a carpenter who thought it would be nice to work on TV and ended up being the biggest film star in the history of cinema.

Dirk Benedict

When my kids ask me, ‘What did you do when you were 18?’ I will tell them I was already at Paris Saint-Germain, that I was already a star and had to stay at home. I’ll have my stories about home.

Kylian Mbappe

When I was starting to get noticed as an actor in the 1970s for something other than the third cowboy on the right who ended up dying in every movie or episode, Burt Reynolds was the biggest star in the world.

Bruce Dern

I’m the star of the show. I should have a decent haircut.

David James Elliott

Everybody says, ‘You impress me as a guy who never wanted to be a movie star.’ I say, ‘Everybody in the world wants to be a movie star.’

Rip Torn

If you’re doing something new you’ve got to have a vision. You’ve got to have a perspective. You’ve got to have some north star you’re aiming for, and you just believe somehow you’ll get there, which kind of gets to the passion point.

Steve Case

I know it’s popular to say this because she’s the woman of the moment, but Halle Berry. Not only does she have obvious audience appeal and star quality, but she’s a damn good actress too.

Paul Kane

Everyone wants to be a movie star or a model, to be in the papers, but few realise just what hard work it is, getting up early, and so on.

Helen Mirren

I’m tired of fighting. I’ve always known that I can’t be an action star all my life.

Jackie Chan

In the U.S. system, too often the best player on an under-17 team will be treated like a ‘star’ – not having to work for the ball, being the focus of the offense at all times, etc. – at a time when they should be having to fight tooth and nail for their spot.

Christian Pulisic

I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn’t, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.

George Michael

‘Friends’ was a true ensemble. There really was no star of the show.

Matt LeBlanc

The LGBT Community was mostly responsible for birthing my career, and I am deeply indebted to you… You have loved me faithfully and unconditionally, and for so many years you provided me with work even though my star had long since faded.

Jennifer Holliday

A star needs all the rest she can get.

Lorna Luft

My wife’s name, Rebecca Lobo, is on sandwiches and street signs in New England. It adorns the arena rafters at the University of Connecticut, where she first became a basketball star. Her high school in Massachusetts is on Rebecca Lobo Way, a nice trump card to play at reunions.

Steve Rushin

Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon’s verge.

Lord Byron

When I got ‘Youth,’ I also got a small role in ‘Star Wars.’ I didn’t know what to do. I decided to choose based on the character.

Chloe Pirrie

A nice pop star would do you nice on one of those deserted islands.

Tom Felton

I dressed more like a pop star, I suppose, rather than the traditional blazer and tall trousers other players went for.

George Best

I was definitely born under an evil star. I have just been thrown out of the inn where I was staying, naked as a worm.

Claude Monet

My mom knew Salman sir, as they grew up together in Bandra. He would often tell my mother Genievev Advani how one day he would be a star. They have been friends for the longest time and would go cycling together.

Kiara Advani

I pray to God every day that he makes me the biggest superstar, but before that, I ask God to make me a good actor. Being a star is hard, but being an actor is even harder. I want to be both before I am done.

Sushant Singh Rajput

Dhanush is a movie star, but like my father, he’s very different. In fact, I saw a lot of my father’s qualities in him. He’s simple, down-to-earth and respects his work a lot.

Aishwarya R. Dhanush

There was a time I could have been mistaken for Burt Reynolds. I had a moustache and so did he. But he was the number one star in the world, so there wasn’t really much confusion.

Tom Selleck

I can’t get my head around the fact that the technology of the first two movies, which are forty years prior to Star Wars, is so much better than any technology they had in Star Wars!

David Prowse

I don’t accept films just because they have star heroes in lead. I rejected a few big films because I didn’t like the story.

Sai Pallavi

Barbra Streisand, for one, is one of my idols. I’ve listened to her since I was a little kid – the first album I ever bought was ‘A Star is Born’ with Kris Kristofferson.

Idina Menzel

Unless you’re a star in this town, you’re really nothing.

Robin Wright

All my life, I’ve been the rebel in the X-wing fighter, and then one morning, I woke up, and I was on board the Death Star.

Bobby Kotick

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

Robert Green Ingersoll

‘Star Trek’ fans totally accepted my sexual orientation. There are a great number of LGBT people across ‘Star Trek’ fandom. The show always appealed to people that were different – the geeks and the nerds, and the people who felt they were not quite a part of society, sometimes because they may have been gay or lesbian.

George Takei

With Star Wars fans, there’s so much enthusiasm, and it’s a completely different generation now.

Peter Mayhew

George Lucas doesn’t have the most physical stamina. He was so unhappy making Star Wars that he just vowed he’d never do it again.

Francis Ford Coppola

The game is No. 1. You are an adjunct to the game. In a studio, there is no game. You are the star. That’s why you are there. For the game, you can’t go away from the game and beat your chest. People are there to watch the game. You are there to supplement, not to override or overwhelm.

Al Michaels

I started doing martial arts when I was about 7, and I got my second degree black belt when I was 19. So I have my second degree black belt, but I’ve never used it, and I had to stop when I got ‘Instant Star’ because I couldn’t train.

Laura Vandervoort

I’d love to do a movie with Denzel Washington, or some action star such as Matt Damon or Mark Wahlberg would be really cool, too.

Taylor Lautner

I am told that there have been over the years a number of experiments taking place in places like Massachusetts Institute of Technology that have been entirely based on concepts raised by Star Trek.

Patrick Stewart

Back then I thought if you cut a record, you were automatically a star.

Mickey Gilley

STAR is a very revolutionary group. We believe in picking up the gun, starting a revolution if necessary. Our main goal is to see gay people liberated and free and have equal rights that other people have in America.

Marsha P. Johnson

After a few games I knew I was going to be able to compete. The idea of being a star never crossed my mind.

Merlin Olsen

Why am I a star? It can’t be because of looks.

Clint Eastwood

I try to get out to The Skelligs, and people will know The Skelligs from ‘Star Wars’ and so forth, but they really are the most incredible monastic settlement on this island off the south coast, the Kerry coast.

Adrian Dunbar

On the ‘Star,’ you were forced to learn to write a simple declarative sentence. This is useful to anyone. Newspaper work will not harm a young writer and could help him if he gets out of it in time.

Ernest Hemingway

It was a lot of fun doing ‘Felicity.’ She had just won the Golden Globe, and she was huge at the time, but she was like the nicest girl ever. As a guest star on a show, you get on the set and you feel out of place, but she was so nice to me and really cool.

Simon Rex

You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don’t even believe in astrology.

Freddie Mercury

My stats don’t even need to be said, but I’ll say them anyway. I’m a 14-time champion. I’m a two-time Slammy award winner. I’ve done movies. I host my own show. How much more do you want in an athlete, in a star, than The Miz?

The Miz

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

Marilyn Monroe

I was born ‘neath a clouded star.

Julia Ward Howe

I like to look cool and dress nice. Lil Uzi is a rock star. Just know that.

Lil Uzi Vert

I’m not a star.

Harvey Korman

I have tremendous brand experience. What I do a lot for Disney is manage the great brands of this company, whether it’s Disney, ESPN, ABC, Pixar, Marvel, ‘Star Wars.’ And I’m very engaged in technology and its impact on the consumer, either what experience you deliver for them or how to market and sell to them.

Bob Iger

When you are a kid, you are beset by fears, and you think, ‘I’ll solve the fear by living forever and becoming a movie star.’

William Hurt

I’m going to try to pull a Natalie Portman. Natalie went to Harvard while shooting ‘Star Wars’. I don’t know how she did it. I want to have lunch with her and ask her – that seems like a bunch of stress right there.

Selena Gomez

On immigration, the League and Five Star’s positions start from notable distances.

Matteo Salvini

Randy said I could call him for anything, Paula said that she loved me and said how much of a star I was. Simon was like, keep up the good work and I’ll have nothing to worry about.

LaToya London

I knew that with a mouth like mine, I just hadda be a star or something.

Barbra Streisand

I can’t imagine anything more beautiful on this planet than looking up at the stars and seeing a kind of artificial star moving through the night sky.

Trevor Paglen

My dream was to be in the NBA. I wasn’t really focused on being a star player on a team. I just wanted to make it to the NBA. I’ve been blessed for the opportunities to be in the Finals, been in the playoffs ever since I’ve been in the NBA.

James Harden

I knew I was destined to be a rock star. I just knew it, like I’ve always had the power of foresight. I feel right now exactly the way I felt after I finished mixing my first solo album ‘New York Groove’.

Ace Frehley

‘Shelby Star’ is going great. We shot a music video, and I’m building an app and some other things for the project.

Christina Milian

It’s a tough life being a pop star. You know, at the end of the day when you’ve paid all the bills and put the kids through college and that, you know, there’s only enough left for a small island off the South Pacific.

Larry Mullen, Jr.

Don’t let the insecurities of others dull your sparkle. Shine like the star you are born to be.

Karen Civil

Being a part-time pop star was perfect, really, when I wasn’t worn out by the partying.

Phil Daniels

My neighborhood was rough, but I live a great life now. I don’t fight that much now. I don’t look for it anyway, but if someone hits your mother, whether you’re a star, an accountant, or an astronaut or anything… I mean it’s your mother, so I lost my mind.

Shia LaBeouf

I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years, but when you go back to the old life, it’s tough.

Olivier Martinez

I would like to see a fierce Fantasia mixed with Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars all in one. That’s the kind of movies I want to make.

Michelle Rodriguez

It struck me that what I’d heard about certain celebrities was true: they had It, whatever the hell It was. Star power isn’t a myth; it is tangible and forceful.

Michael Bergin

I don’t have real big aspirations to be a movie star. I would love to be on a long-running hit TV show. You end up playing a defining role.

Jenna Fischer

This is a group effort. This is group theatre. This is no big star turn. You could do things with it to do that but it would just be out of kilter. This is one reason I like this play. This is a unit.

Gavin MacLeod

I have a daughter who’s 11 years old. Maybe she’ll grow up independent and really really heavy and become a movie star and she’ll play me in my life story.

Patti Smith

I always say that ‘Star Wars’ had a huge effect on me, too, but what ‘Star Wars’ did for some people, ‘Superman’ did for me.

Patty Jenkins

I think I am a star – I’m simply a funny-shaped star.

Malcolm Wilson

I always knew I’d be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn’t know if I’d be successful at it, but I knew I’d be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

Bryan Adams

There’s truth in light. You can tell what elements a star is composed of and the temperature at which it burns by the light it gives off.

James Turrell

I didn’t know how to deal with success. If there was a Rock Star 101, I would have liked to take it. It might have helped me.

Kurt Cobain

We stress humanity, and this is done at considerable cost. We can’t have a lot of dramatics that other shows get away with – promiscuity, greed, jealousy. None of those have a place in ‘Star Trek.’

Gene Roddenberry

My wife comes with me on all the movies, but she is not an appendage to a film star or anything like that. She is a completely intertwined partner. She is the other half of me. Also, we’re still very much in love with each other. We always have been, we always will be.

Michael Caine

I was gonna write songs, I was gonna be a star and a singer and I never thought of doing anything else.

Kim Carnes

It wasn’t a mission to be a rock star. It wasn’t a mission of mine to even be a movie star. I just intended to be a good actor.

Don Johnson

No star is ever lost we once have seen, we always may be what we might have been.

Adelaide Anne Procter

I think it’s a gift to become a star, to become a celebrity.

Amy Smart

I am a movie star.

Jayne Mansfield

I’m not worried about being a big star.

Luke Perry

I was never interested in being a rock star. I always wanted to be Boris Karloff.

Gene Simmons

Well, when I wasn’t playing with a football I used to play with ‘Star Wars’ figures as a kid. Hanging out with Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker is how I passed the time when I wasn’t kicking a ball around.

Jamie Carragher

I’m a huge karaoke fan. Oh my God. I’m one of those girls who don’t give the mic away. It’s a problem. I’m a closeted pop star.

Jenna Dewan

The biggest crime in England is to rise above your station. It’s fine to be a pop star. ‘Oh, it’s great, lots of fun, aren’t they sweet, these pop stars! But to think you have anything to say about how the world should work? What arrogance!’

Brian Eno

But, you know, you can’t be a star at home.

Jim Carrey

My uncle was a gangster in the real gangster days. I witnessed it, I felt it, I smelt it the situation, I was involved. It was like knowing a movie star.

Bugzy Malone

Money’s not important to me. Movie star acknowledgement is not important to me. I don’t want to be a big studio actress. I don’t want to be in the limelight.

Moira Kelly

I had been doing plays in New York and on a whim we packed up and moved West, I started doing commercials and plays and guest star spots on TV and one thing led to another and I got Knots Landing.

Joan Van Ark

I always get compared to looking like a silent movie star – though I don’t know if that’s a compliment, honestly.

Gayle Rankin

I opened Leith’s in Notting Hill in 1969 and it eventually worked its way into being awarded a Michelin star. At the time, there were a few women running small bistros – but I was the first woman to have a ‘serious,’ expensive restaurant.

Prue Leith

I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.

Harrison Ford

It is sound judgment to hope that in the not too distant future we shall be competent to understand so simple a thing as a star.

Arthur Eddington

I have the desire to work as an actress, but I have no ambition to be a star.

Ally Sheedy

Some people admire the aspirational rock star figures whose biopics make it to TV, the people they watched as kids and made them want to play football for England. For some comics, it is often the Doug Stanhopes and the Joan Rivers.

Aisling Bea

I started out in 1989 doing open mic nights. The first 10 years, I was literally all about I’m going to be a star. I want leather pants, I want a kangaroo, I want to be on ‘MTV Cribs,’ I want to go to the mall with a pet monkey and I want everyone to go, ‘Wow, that guy’s huge, he’s successful.’

Jim Breuer

Woody Harrelson was just so much fun. He’s a child at heart, and he loved being in a ‘Star Wars’ film, I think.

Joonas Suotamo

I never wanted to be a star, I just wanted to get work.

Gregory Hines

He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.

William Blake

Television has certain imperatives that CNN had the luxury of ignoring for a long period of time. CNN could take the position that the news would be the star, because in most of the programming day, they were the only all-news operation on the air.

Brit Hume

But I’m not imaginative. I couldn’t look into the future, like Star Wars or Robots or anything like that.

Harry Dean Stanton

Home Star is a common sense idea that would create jobs and provide a boost to local economies, while helping families afford their energy bills. By encouraging homeowners to invest in energy efficiency retrofits, Home Star would create 170,000 manufacturing and construction jobs that could not be outsourced to China.

Peter Welch

I’m going down in history with Star Trek. It’s a great feeling.

Persis Khambatta

I liked how ‘Star Wars’ felt both old and new. I even built a model of R2-D2, taking about two months mixing two kits to make one that looked just like the real thing. I’m the kind of person who gets really into it when I do something like that.

Akira Toriyama

People think that being on Star Trek is career suicide, but it’s really just the opposite.

Brent Spiner

I’d like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I’ll do that before I’m thirty.

Eddie Murphy

A lot of people say I look like a rock star or a designer punk. But I swear it’s the job that has carved my face. It’s the hours, the stress, and the pressure. It’s not me trying to look like this.

Marco Pierre White

I am a classic Star Trek fanatic. When I was a kid, my mom and I used to go to conventions.

Rachel Cohn

The average Hollywood film star’s ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.

Katharine Hepburn

I wasn’t looking to be a star, I just happened to love acting, I was a reluctant actor.

Abhay Deol

Hum Paanch’ made Amrish Puri a star and he went on to play Mogambo in my ‘Mr. India.’

Boney Kapoor

I’d change nothing in my career path. I was never built for being a handsome teenage star. That’s just not in my psyche, I think. I would have hated to have grown up famous.

Jason Clarke

I believe I’m from somewhere else, and I was put on this plain for a purpose. I’ve met other star children, too. We’re like spirits who move from world to world.

Lee Ryan

I’d have a sex scene with Whoopi Goldberg or Star Jones.

Method Man

Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. He does one kind of martial arts that Jet Li doesn’t know how to do and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesn’t know how to do. You can both go to two Chinese restaurants, but both can have different kinds of food.

Jet Li

I was always interested in writing from an early age, but it seemed so far away and inconceivable, like wanting to be an astronaut or a pop star.

Lisa Joy

I started working since I was four years old. All I remember is I wanted to become a star.

Sridevi

When I was a kid, I loved Elvis, and Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. But I had no connection to Hollywood – and being a movie star was such a far-fetched idea, growing up in Hawaii.

Dwayne Johnson

I started by looking everything up in a Star Trek dictionary so I knew what I was talking about, but you can’t do that because they talk in circles, and half of it doesn’t make sense, so you’ll just end up driving yourself more insane.

Jeri Ryan

If a star or studio chief or any other great movie personages find themselves sitting among a lot of nobodies, they get frightened – as if somebody was trying to demote them.

Marilyn Monroe

I’m not a movie star, and I don’t want to become a movie star.

Emmanuel Macron

Man, I’m the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix.

Kanye West

Being a part of the Six Star team means I get to be a part of a fierce group of female athletes who have shown women that the right supplements can help us reach our fitness goals.

Tobin Heath

I think they should take everyone who works for The National Enquirer and the Star, and everyone who works for Us Weekly, and put them all to work looking for terrorists. I think they would find the terrorists. All of them. It would be genius!

Brittany Murphy

‘Star Wars’ is my heart. I love it.

Billie Lourd

When I first left Iran at the age of 13, Iran had become such a shining star – it was the point to which all my desires and dreams returned.

Azar Nafisi

There’s no half-singing in the shower, you’re either a rock star or an opera diva.

Josh Groban

It’s always been my way to move about a little more horizontally. My career has never been like a shooting star.

Holly Hunter

The success that Americans are said to worship is success of a specific sort: accomplished not through hard work, primarily, but through the ingenious angle, the big break. Sit down at a lunch counter, stand back up a star. Invest in a new issue and watch it soar. Split a single atom, win a war.

Walter Kirn

The problems with First Ladies is that you have to set the standard. My role is to be both star and slave.

Imelda Marcos

It’s funny, when bands or younger musicians ask me: ‘So, what does it take to make it?’ Well, first explain to me what you mean by ‘making it’: Do you want to be a rock star or do you want music to be your livelihood?

Eddie Van Halen

You would think that a rock star being married to a supermodel would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.

David Bowie

Russell Crowe is very difficult, but it’s worth it. He’s the real thing. I can tell you this. Russell Crowe was just as difficult before he was an international star as he was afterwards.

Taylor Hackford

When you come from a star family in the South, you’re expected to be really good in dance and fights. It’s really important that you open up as an actor in front of the camera.

Akhil Akkineni

I don’t want to be a star. If you have to label me anything, I’m an actor – I guess. A journeyman actor. I think ‘star’ is what you call actors who can’t act.

Paul Muni

What I want to be is an actor, not a star.

Edward Albert

We’ve had some really good guest stars. But I have to go with Alec Baldwin as my favorite. He is so neat and such a movie star. He’s handsome and quirky. I was in heaven the week he was on the set.

Nikki Cox

I believe that this idea of story or myth or this thing that Joseph Campbell writes about is sort of an inter-connective spiritual force – like The Force in ‘Star Wars’ – where it doesn’t matter where you were raised, or what your background is, there are certain elements of story that totally appeal to you.

Damon Lindelof

There is only one thing that a man really wants to do, all his life; and that is, to find his way to his God, his Morning Star, salute his fellow man, and enjoy the woman who has come the long way with him.

D. H. Lawrence

I’m still Sean that me mates went to school with, not Sean the film star. And that’s the way I prefer to be.

Sean Bean

I’ve never watched an episode of ‘Star Trek.’ For real.

Steve Zahn

And I learned a lot from working with this kid, and I think he’s gonna be a big star. Remember the name, Tim Dark, because he has something about his voice that’s different from all the other rappers, even though his style is similar.

Alan Vega

Larry Hagman was a huge star, and he was carrying my stuff for me.

Christopher Atkins

I found my niche as a character actor, and I’ve never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.

Vincent D’Onofrio

I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I’m stuck with them.

Roger Ebert

After Star Trek, I was with the top agencies, but producers and directors did not know what to do with me.

Persis Khambatta

Tiger Woods is the only sports star who’s worth every penny he makes.

Mark Wahlberg

That’s why ‘Star Wars’ is appealing. You watch someone fight the perilous monster.

Carrie Fisher

I did movie star impressions as a kid in high school. Somehow they just got out of hand.

Don Adams

I’m preparing myself to be a great, great fighter and also a big star in the sport.

Gervonta Davis

I am happiest in public, working in my world. Then I can be the star. That I can do. When I am not working, I am more guarded, set apart. It’s not my life, that. I like interactions, but interaction that is not forced.

Giorgio Armani

The ladder of success in Hollywood is usually a press agent, actor, director, producer, leading man; and you are a star if you sleep with each of them in that order. Crude, but true.

Hedy Lamarr

Johnny Nitro was an homage to Eric Bischoff, who, I was his apprentice at the time. I liked that name. Basically, Vince McMahon thought that ‘Nitro’ reminded him of WCW, and when I became the ECW Champion, like, he had a couple times mentioned to me, ‘If you’re going to be a real star, you need a real name.’

John Morrison

I didn’t think I was a famous singer. I didn’t think I was a star or that I could make the waters part – just that singing was what I was going to do.

Linda Ronstadt

The boy can do anything, but to be the star of the World Cup you have got to get to the final and win it!

Alan Hansen

I don’t care about being a star. I can do a supporting role; I don’t have to be a lead.

Tom Berenger

I’m not so interested any more in how a great deal of science fiction goes. It goes into things like Star Wars and Star Trek which all go excellent in their own way.

Robert Sheckley

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s gubernatorial campaign raises a series of fascinating questions, the most perplexing of all being why an international star of his stature would ever want to run in the first place.

Michael Medved

If you just want to be a star, go away.

Jenifer Lewis

I had never seen much of Star Trek, or any other science fiction, before I was cast. But Seven’s wonderful.

Jeri Ryan

I’m not real impressed with the Star Trek weaponry, I gotta be honest.

Jeri Ryan

Winning an Oscar attracts the attention of directors and other actors and creates a boost in salary, particularly for someone like Halle Berry. For an established star like Denzel Washington, the benefits are less tangible.

Marc Platt

I don’t want to be a reality TV star – that’s not for me.

Sophie Monk

I feel that a lot of human spirituality stems from the belief that we are unique and special in the universe, but maybe we are just what happens when there is proper temperature and proper distance from the right type of star.

Alex Honnold

I was a weird-looking chubby, half-Asian kid who didn’t have the pop star look.

Guy Sebastian

Michael worked one day. Everybody was a little freaked out and nervous because he’s a really big star. We were already working with really big stars, but Michael is Michael.

Barry Sonnenfeld

Growing up, I really liked ‘Star Wars.’ Han Solo would’ve been really cool to meet. But my stuff was real low-brow. I was watching ‘Bugs Bunny.’

Chris Evans

When you’re a guest star on TV shows – particularly in the 1960s – you’re always the villain.

Robert Vaughn

The end of the First World War had thrown Germany’s youth into great turmoil. The reins of power had fallen from the hands of a deeply disillusioned older generation, and the younger ones drew together in larger and smaller groups to blaze new paths or, at least, to discover a new star to steer by.

Werner Heisenberg

In one day, I got mistaken for three different actresses: Wendy Williams, Sherri Shepherd, and Star Jones.

Niecy Nash

Which is good, in a way, because the danger in doing something like STAR TREK is that you end up in that pigeonhole and you’re doing that the rest of your life.

Colm Meaney

All things by immortal power. Near of far, to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star.

Francis Thompson

The difference between a movie star and a movie actor is this – a movie star will say, ‘How can I change the script to suit me?’ and a movie actor will say. ‘How can I change me to suit the script?’

Michael Caine

J. Lo, whether she is good or bad, is like a fiery movie star, a throwback to Elizabeth Taylor in her heyday.

Steven Cojocaru

Style to me is a mix between rock star chic-quirky-sexy and expressive. I always dress for my body type, as it’s important to highlight your pluses! I like edgy clothes that have character. I usually dress by the mood I’m in – so if I’m in my ripped jeans and leather jacket, you know I’m feeling rebellious!

Jiah Khan

I was addicted to the original ‘Star Trek’ when I was growing up, because of my dad. We grew up in St. Helens, Oregon and we weren’t allowed to watch a lot of TV.

Katee Sackhoff

A poet is a man who puts up a ladder to a star and climbs it while playing a violin.

Edmond de Goncourt

I never walked the streets of New York hoping to be a musical comedy star. For one thing, they would have thought I was too tall, because l was five feet eight and a half, and they were all little bitty things running around in the studio at that time.

Esther Williams

I’m confident in who I am. I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star.

Lady Gaga

The point at which we worked with some of these actors, they weren’t really stars yet. Nicolas Cage was not a big star when we did Raising Arizona. A lot of these people were also virtually unknown, too, when we worked with them first.

Joel Coen

‘Star Trek’ was an attempt to say humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in lifeforms.

Gene Roddenberry

When I think back on it, of course I got lucky and got great directors and good breaks but all that was the physical part. But what made me a star was that I could take a chance and not have anything to worry about in terms of losing.

Shah Rukh Khan
