But when you're a celebrity, you discover that you're no longer the pursuer, but the one being pursued. That's one of the disappointments I have had since becoming a single man.
I don't consider myself a star or a celebrity. I'm a simple guy who works a lot.

You know, as I do, actors who, having become worldwide celebrities thanks to a TV series, complain of their lot and declare themselves ready to drop it all.
Celebrity has lost its value - all you have to do is go on a reality TV show for six weeks and everybody knows your name.
