In thinking of America, I sometimes find myself admiring her bright blue sky-her grand old woods-her fertile fields-her beautiful rivers-her mighty lakes and star-crowned mountains. But my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with th...

For most of human history we have searched for our place in the cosmos. Who are we? What are we? We find that we inhabit an insignificant planet of a hum-drum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are

In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you`re told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is.

Is Hollywood the cruelest city in the world? Well, it can be. New York can be that, too. You can be a Broadway star here one night, and something happens, and out--nobody knows you on the street. They forget you ever lived. It happens in Hollywood, too.
Buster Keaton
My advice to those who think they have to take off their clothes to be a star is, once you`re boned, what`s left to create the illusion? Let `em wonder. I never believed in givin` them too much of me.

Someone who`s like Angelina Jolie because she isn`t scared of not being pretty. She`s my favourtie actress. I`d love a role like the one she played in `Girl, Interrupted`. I`ve never met her.. I`d be so nervous! And star-struck!

Being a star doesn`t last. That`s not what life should be about. It`s a complete illusion that really has nothing to do with you. For me, finding out about life is the most important thing. (1999, Raygun)

[on his friend and Heat (1995) co-star Robert De Niro] We know each other`s minds. We have shared some things that are personal to us, such as our roles. I know Bobby through his roles. But, then, I don`t think we actually talked about the actual work of ...
Al Pacino
I don`t want people walking out of a movie thinking I was trying to act or be some movie star. I want them to think, `That might make me like Jessica a little bit more.`
Jessica Simpson
Being a movie star, and this applies to all of them, means being looked at from every possible direction. You are never left at peace, you`re just fair game.

About the Star Trek uniforms: "We hate our uniforms. We`ve said it a gazillion times. It`s like a chant that we have to say every day. They`re hot, they`re uncomfortable, and we can`t wait to get out of them. But even when we get to wear something else, i...

[on being asked in 1943 what a girl needs to be a movie star] "Intelligence , adaptability and talent. And by talent I mean the capacity for hard work. Lots of girls come here with little but good looks. Beauty is a valuable asset, but it is not the whole...
