"I absolutely realize that a celebrity spokesperson is not ideal."
"But celebrity really doesn't mean anything unless you use it for finding some way to give back and I've always felt that way."

It was rather entirely external, coming from the minds of others. It existed in the way people looked at him or behaved towards him. In that, being famous was no different from being gay, or Jewish, or from a visible minority: you are who you are, and then people project onto you some notion they have."
"It was a lot more fun to get famous than to be famous."
"One U.S. hit single and a hit T Shirt in 1985 does not a celebrity make."
"I think my recognizability ebbs and flows. I don't lead a particularly celebrity lifestyle or anything like that. I don't go to showbiz parties or red-carpet events, so it all depends on whether I've got a film out. I've not been very visible in the last year or so and as a result hardly anyone stops me in the street."
"I hate that tabloid idea of anybody who is famous having to forfeit their privacy."
"I'm drawing the gossip surrounding the celebrity, or the image the celebrity tries to push on us."
