Personally, I've never really wanted to be a rock star. That wasn't my motivation in life. It kind of happened.

I always laugh to myself when I listen to some really big A-list star saying that they are just a normal person.

To be a star is to own the world and all the people in it. After a taste of stardom, everything else is poverty.

I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.

I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I'm stuck with them.

If you want to find somebody and you want to be married and you want to have children, don't make it a rock star.

Everybody wants to be a movie star. I bet if you ask that guy would he like to be a movie star, he'd say, 'Sure.'

I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It 's nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime.

What I really want is a commercial hit. If you're in a hit, you're suddenly a star, whether you acted well or not.

I have failed 'Star Wars' trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I've never heard of.

In the juniors, you are kind of a star, but just because you are a good junior doesn't mean you will be a good pro.

I always knew I would be a star someday. I didn't know when. I didn't know how it would look. I just had a feeling.

I never said, 'I'm going to be a big star.' I said, 'I'm going to be a good actor.' And that took the pressure off.

Acting in 'Star Wars' I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn't even know who the cantaloupes were.

I wanted to be Jon Bon Jovi and Bono. But I'm not that cool. I don't need to be. I'm not a rock star. I am who I am.

After 'Rock Star,' I was definitely doing more high profile gigs. I was playing in Iceland. I was playing in Canada.

When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a star. I didn't really know what all that meant. I didn't know.

My advice to new artists is to forget about all of this and take acting and dancing lessons and become a video star.

Years ago, when I first started being a big star, I had fans that were fanatical. It was when 'Jolene' was a big hit.

As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.

There is a religion around 'Star Wars' that is different than even the fanaticism around comic books and other media.

There was a time when one couldn't dream of being an actor if they weren't well-connected or they weren't a star kid.

People say I owe a lot to television. The fact is I was a star long before television. What TV made me is unemployed.

I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

My strangest experience was my six words in 'Star Wars.' I've had more fanmail from that than anything I've ever done.

Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.

My most memorable science fiction experience was 'Star Wars' and seeing R2D2 and C3PO. I fell in love with those robots.

I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.

I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

A lot of fans don't accept me because I became a star in the WWE, but that adds credibility and equity to the TNA title.
