Selected Quotes about Celebrity
A sign of celebrity is that his name is often worth more than his services. -- Daniel J. Boorstin
The hero was distinguished by his achievement; the celebrity by his image or trademark. The hero created himself; the celebrity is created by the media. The hero was a big man; the celebrity is a big name. -- Daniel J. Boorstin
Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being "somebody," to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen. -- John Updike
