In Italy it's full-on stardom when you're a cyclist - eating in restaurants for free, it's great.

Fame and stardom sat very easily on Elizabeth Taylor's shoulders.

I see stardom very clearly as a construct that's been created in order to sell things.

I really don't have that much interest in stardom.

Overnight stardom can be harmful to your mental health. Yeah. It has ruined a lot of people.

Yet there are film stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra who never allowed the mafia to dictate terms to them. But starlets like Monica Bedi used the mafia connection to win stardom and is now paying heavily.

The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.

As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.

You've got to keep taking certain risks, because my priority is in acting, it's not in movie stardom.

When stardom gets on your head, you don't even realise.

I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do.

I want to reach the heights of stardom beyond my imagination.

I was a common man, and I will always remain a common man. No amount of stardom will ever consume my soul. Money comes, money goes. Fame comes, fame goes. I believe every human being is a celebrity in their own right.

It took several years of hard work in small roles before I attained stardom.

There is no spray can called 'Instant Stardom', only talent can keep you at the top.

Eileen Gu, I think, has had to sacrifice her American passport. So welcome to China. I hope stardom and the riches that you have earned through betraying America are all worth it, because you have definitely sold out.

All I know is that I have earned a lot of love and affection from people throughout the years. That's my greatest gift. Beyond that, I never took stardom and success seriously.

When I started out in independent films in the early '70s, we did everything for the love of art. It wasn't about money and stardom. That was what we were reacting against. You'd die before you'd be bought.

Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'

For me, Michael Jackson was a star. Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan are stars. They are the ones who own and carry stardom.
