"Well, honestly, both my husband and I tend to ignore the tabloids. We see them every once in awhile or it comes to our attention that we are in a tabloid for one reason or another. But it's always false."
"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."
"So, I didn't get moved up because of celebrity status or anything like that. I got in line, and I passed the test. And they realized that I was sick enough, and as soon as the liver became available, I got one."

"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.

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."
"I feel that I see John Lennon now as not a celebrity. I did then. I saw him as a cardboard cutout on an album cover."
"I am not just a celebrity, I'm a human-rights advocate for the last 20 years."
"I don't think I'm a celebrity. A chimpanzee could have done what I did."
"It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity."
