My immediate thought was `why so soon?` I was just learning how to use my voice, getting it all down and feeling comfortable with my career - being in the spotlight - and doing what I needed to do. I went to Vanderbilt Voice Clinic in Nashville - one of t...
Billy Gilman
[his response (in 1979) to an indication that he shared the spotlight with Star Wars (1977) villain Darth Vader, played by David Prowse, another muscle-bound actor] Anybody could play Darth Vader. Vader is basically just a big guy behind a costume. The ch...
Lou Ferrigno
You can`t really complain because it`s what you have to accept is going to happen when you`re in the spotlight, and you want this. And I understand that. At the same time, it`s hard when you`re just waking up, and you`re going out to get your mail and the...
Lindsay Lohan
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
I hate it when people pray on the screen. It`s not because I hate praying, but whenever I see an actor fold his hands and look up in the spotlight, I`m lost. There`s only one other thing in the movies I hate as much, and that`s sex. You just can`t get in ...
Orson Welles
I can appreciate the spotlight and pressure Heath was under. There is a feeling that, however supportive your family is, you are very much on your own in this business. I cannot pretend to know what was going on in his life. I can imagine how he felt. The...
Jamie Bell
As a performer, much of my life has been spent in the spotlight. I know how important appearance can be to teens, especially the impact it can have on the way you feel about yourself.
Christy Romano
The first job I ever did was Equus on stage, as the boy, and I was 17, and we opened the show with me naked in the spotlight being examined by doctors. That was my entrance to the stage, so anything after that was easy. Also, for some reason, nudity was n...
James Purefoy
Having our own magazine gives us the opportunity to help kids discover their interests and spotlight the best of everything from new movies and CDs to young athletes we think are amazing!
Cole Sprouse
The spotlight does put pressure on certain aspects of my life. I`ve given up looking for a boyfriend. That`s not to say I won`t be intersted if the right guy comes along. But I`m not in a hurry.
Emily van Camp
People still recognize me all the time on the street. The first thing they say when they stop me is, "Where have you been?" The second comment they make is always, "Oh, you`ve grown up." I`m not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the ti...
Macaulay Culkin
Because I`m so much in the spotlight, people lose sight of why I`m in the industry. In fact, I`m doing all this because I love to act. I love to perform, to sing.
I go out because it`s a release. Going out for me is about seeing my friends and not work...
Lindsay Lohan
As far as being in the spotlight and under public scrutiny, a lot of that`s about how much you put yourself out there. It`s not like we go to every premiere and every celebrity function and every charity auction. We really just try to maintain our privacy...
Reese Witherspoon
The spotlight does put pressure on certain aspects of my life. I`ve given up looking for a boyfriend. That`s not to say I won`t be intersted if the right guy comes along. But I`m not in a hurry.
Emily VanCamp
You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I`m a normal person. Just because I`m in the spotlight doesn`t mean I`m God`s gift to the world. I`m learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.
Hayden Panettiere
With the perpetual drip of bad publicity, it was difficult for them to be given the benefit of the doubt. The spotlight should be on her capabilities. But ... how can you shine when you`re putting out fires and in crisis-management mode?
David Carter
We are used to being in the spotlight, so we do not let it bother us. There is so much rubbish written every day, you cannot let it trouble you.
Nicole Appleton
The world awaits Beijing`s hosting of the 2008 Olympics, an occasion which will bring into the global spotlight the dramatic advances China is making in enhancing the quality of life for its people.
Alexander Haig
The studio is meant to be always a place where, first of all, they can be out of spotlight, and second, where they could work with a peer group on parts that they might not have played otherwise.
James Lipton
The players ahead of me certainly deserve the press, and I understand where animosity will come. But because I am doing this, it is going to open more doors for them. Put the game out there in the spotlight and hopefully bring everyone more recognition.
Arnie Oelke
The British tend to shy away from the spotlight. We don`t like being singled out in any way, and I think that is something which is important for me to learn to do.
Damon Hill
The blackout of 2003 absolutely turned up the heat and put a spotlight on an industry from top to bottom that didn`t get much attention in the previous decade. We are doing things today, and creating legislation that addresses detail we would never have l...
Anthony Spencer
If a dishonest creep wants to tap dance, give them the spotlight and a mirror.
