I meet people who are famous, and it's made me realise that fame has huge lifestyle disadvantages. I'm nervous about that. I don't want to become a celebrity.

In a thriving culture, you celebrate your achievements. In an exhausted one, you proclaim your disadvantages.

People behave differently to TV stars and film stars; it's to do with the scale of the medium. Film stars get hushed awe, TV stars get slapped on the back. Neither is good for you. Famous people don't hear the word 'no' enough.

For me, faith is more about aspiration than complacency - the smug satisfaction that other people find distasteful.

Fame, celebrity - it's not such a big deal in Europe. People seem to understand that you just have a weird job. They're not running after you, trying to carve chunks out of you. It's strange in the states. Most fans here are great, but there's a handful who have seen the movies and feel they know you. They think it's alright to touch you and ask personal questions.

Everyone has some degree of celebrity, but I find the most tragic aspect is that knowledge of the individual is rarely reciprocal.
