Colin Firth
Colin doesn’t enjoy being a celebrity: “I’ve been photographed when I don’t want to be. I’ve been listened to when I don’t want to be and I’ve been followed. It’s a perfectly banal observation to make; it just happens in my job. I think it’s all crossing the line. I don’t think any of it is legitimate. It’s very unseemly for those of us in this business with the privileges that I have to start whining about the intrusions. I don’t like hearing other people do it and I don’t really want to do that but when you ask the question, ‘Is it an intrusion and does it cross the line?’ It does absolutely. I don’t think I owe my private life to anybody. I owe what I do in front of the camera and the best I can do but that’s where it stops. I have a right to clock off after I go home. It’s not something to complain about but something I’ve had to adjust to.”
Kate Moss
Kate often finds her fame uncomfortable: “Just to go into a shop without getting stared at would be nice. I mean, I don’t walk around like, ‘Oh I’m famous’ – I try to live as normal a life as possible – but sometimes it’s a bit annoying. It’s fine; it’s not a massive problem but sometimes it’s just a bit uncomfortable. You can’t be ‘poor me’ about it though – it’s not the worst thing in the world but sometimes it’s a bit uncomfortable.”
