Gwyneth Paltrow says: "I hate that people want so much from me, that they are always asking for things from me. They want me to host luncheons, open stores, go to their charity fund-raiser. A lot of the time I feel like, at the expense of my own sanity and physical well-being, I do these things for everybody."  

Leonardo DiCaprio says: "Fame is a monster you have no control over, and no matter what you do, things are going to get mutated in the press. That's the learning process I had. I didn't want to turn into a hermit. I wanted to live my life and do whatever the hell I wanted to do."  

Angelina Jolie says: "I'm scared of celebrity because even though I'm out there, I'm really an observer. You can't be an observer if you are famous"-Albawaba.com.
