In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don`t want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings.
Alfred Hitchcock
(2006 quote on fame) When you reach a certain status in Hollywood, you have to play a lot of games to stay in the limelight. It becomes more about being famous than being an actor. It`s a cult of personality. Who`s the It person this week? Who has the hot...

[About the fame of Miss Piggy]: I wouldn`t like to be that famous, I value my privacy. Mind you, Miss Piggy enjoys every moment of it. If it were not for me, she would spend all her time in the limelight.

Sean Penn and Clint Eastwood have told me that I shouldn`t feel that I need to be in the limelight or the spotlight all the time. A career is about longevity, as shown in their careers. So, I really want to only do the best things and work with the best p...
Emmy Rossum
[on Hollywood in the 1920s] To place in the limelight a great number of people who ordinarily would be chambermaids and chauffeurs, and give them unlimited power and wealth, is bound to produce lively results.
Anita Loos
I`ve always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing I`m most afraid of, though, is being alone, which I think a lot of performers fear. It`s why we seek the limelight - so we`re not alone, were adored. Were loved, so people want to be around u...
Jennifer Lopez
I was frightened of every opportunity I had. Part of me wanted the success and notoriety and part of me didn`t. Part of me is a private person, but part of me must be a show-off to be able to be in the limelight. It would be lovely -- in an ideal world --...

You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it`s really fun to go there. But they`re not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It`s too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it`s distracting to me.
Bob Seger
On occasions I have been big-headed. I think most people are when they get in the limelight. I call myself Big Head just to remind myself not to be.

I love being an older comic now. It`s like being an old soccer or an old baseball player. You`re in the Hall of Fame and it`s nice, but you`re no longer that person in the limelight on the spot doing that thing.
Eric Idle
How many times are you in a situation like this? ... You`re in the limelight. You`re on what is supposedly the best team in the game. You`re making a run at the World Series. I`ve had an average year for me, solid in several areas, definitely with room fo...

Coming back to a television series puts you back in the limelight and gives you a platform for your ideas. If you`re not acting on a series, you don`t get the ability to communicate to people.
