"As for fame, fame felt like nothing. Fame was not a sensation like love or hunger or loneliness, welling from within and invisible to the outside eye. 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."
"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 almost bumped into Alec Baldwin and then turned around and Paris Hilton was standing there. And I was like, 'Look, it's stupid spoiled whore.'"
"I regret that I wasn't the kind of person who could enjoy celebrity. It embarrassed me too much."
"I've gone from the most trusted man in America to one of the most debated."
"Celebrity is hawking make-up, cars, everything; it's shifted."
"There's no reason that just because you're a celebrity you can't write."
"The whole celebrity culture thing - I'm fascinated by, and repelled by, and yet I end up knowing about it."
