I’m not glamorous, I don’t have a look, I don’t know anything about opera, I have no Italian, and I’m too old.

My mom had beautiful clothes. My mom is elegant; my mom is glamorous. But my mom is also really real, and I grew up with a mother who had babies crawling on her head and spitting up on her when she was wearing gorgeous, expensive things, and it was never an issue.

I’m always caught up in the thrill of award season: The golden statues, the glamorous stars, and the fabulous gowns.

I was never interested in the quantity of films or the glamorous side of cinema.

If you’re an actor, you have to look spiffing. But as the director, you don’t need to look so glamorous.

My memory of my mom is a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She was a runway fashion model, and she was quite a glamorous woman.

I probably marketed myself all wrong. I had exotic looks; I should have done those glamorous roles that exuded ‘oomph.’ But in my head, I was always an actress first.

Girls think that being glamorous means making mistakes and being irresponsible. And that’s just not true. The smarter you are, the better prepared you are to make decisions in your life, the more likely you are to lead a satisfying life and be glamorous and fun and anything you want to be.

I think there’s always interest in how the other half live – I see myself as a down-to-earth Essex mum who just happens to be living this very glamorous life in Beverly Hills.

It’s an amazing life, don’t get me wrong. But being a professional athlete, is… is not as glamorous as everybody sets it out to be.

When I was a child, I wanted to be a jockey. I love horses, but it’s not practical to have one in London. I also wanted to be an accountant, which isn’t glamorous at all, but my dad was one, and I quite liked maths.

You can look glamorous even if you’re a housewife, any job you have.

Red carpets seem so glamorous, but you’re really just standing there sweating and worrying your hair is going to fall. And in the end, people are only going to see one picture of you. You just smile for one second and then you walk over to the side and check your phone. It’s pretty weird.

I’m not very glamorous.

I do glamorous photoshoots but I don’t like nudity and I am against it.

Playing quarterback is a glamorous job. It’s awesome. It’s everything I dreamed it would be. But after a while, it loses its glamour. Somewhere along those 15 years, it becomes a job. Especially at the end, it became work. Game day was awesome, but all the rest of it was work.

Most actresses began their career as glamorous pin-ups before being noticed for their acting talents.

Glamorized… am I glamorous?

I wanted to be an air hostess because I thought it was the most glamorous thing – and I’d never been on a plane.

Pam has always been my glamorous big sister – 13 years older than I. She played on the women’s circuit for nine years and came home to tell me stories of France, Japan.

I never get the tall, blonde, glamorous roles because I’m not tall, blonde and glamorous. I’m more the wee, disturbing characters because of the way I look or sound.

On the surface, being a musician can look pretty glamorous. But so much work goes into it.

My mother was very glamorous. She was very beautiful, and she had a lot of friends; she was fun and loved to drink.

Fashion has always captivated me because, like I said, it has the potential to create narratives about what’s beautiful, aspirational, chic, masculine, feminine, glamorous, etc. Generally, this power is dispatched in useless ways.

As an outsider, it appears that celebrities lead such a glamorous life but once you are a part of it, you realise the hard work hidden behind that glitz.

I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.

I don’t mind doing glamorous roles, comic roles, weekly shows, or something different from what I’ve done earlier.

I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go – that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

‘Mad Men‘ is nothing more than the fulfillment of every possible stereotype of the early 1960s bundled up nicely to convince consumers that the sort of morally repugnant behavior exhibited by its characters – with one-night-stands and excessive consumption of Cutty Sark and Lucky Strikes – is glamorous and ‘vintage.’

Actresses do glamorous roles, and then, after 10 films, they do an offbeat one. But Alia didn’t do that. She picked films like ‘Highway‘ and ‘Udta Punjab,’ too.

Part of being an actress is being glamorous. For me, it is fun.

My father, Anthony, was a textile agent who sold fabric in the West End and was away a lot. He was very glamorous. When he first met my mum, he swept her off into this big, social world.

Working the road will kill you. Eating cheeseburgers, sleeping odd hours. If you don’t do something, it breaks you down. People think that it is glamorous; it is not glamorous.

There’s nothing glamorous about war at all.

I don’t have to be glamorous all the time.

I romanticize. I live with the ghosts of Elvis and Frank Sinatra. It seems so glamorous. They were American men who don’t exist anymore. But there are ugly things about them, too.

I think all girls secretly want to be actresses because acting seems so glamorous. But as a child, I was always the villager who had one line in the school play. I was shy and I had a bit of a lisp.

I’ve played a massive and growing part in making business glamorous and even, yes, sexy.

There was a glamorous Nick-and-Nora element to my parents. If you remove one from the other, you’re left with neither. But parents are parents.

People say to me now, ‘Oh, it must have been so glamorous to grow up in hotels, eat in restaurants.’ Of course, we hated it.

I’ve been a little bit Las Vegas and casino-obsessed. So, I love some trashy glamour… and I think nothing’s trashier or more glamorous than a bit of a sheer number!

Someone I would love to do a beautiful and glamorous red carpet moment is Lady Gaga.

The moment that always comes to mind when I think fondly about ‘The Hills’ is when Lauren and I got to go to Paris. I was in my early twenties, and I had never been to Paris. The thought of the Crillon Ball was so glamorous – wearing designer gowns, getting hair and makeup done, and meeting all these amazing people.

I’m only stopped by people in uniform, whether it’s customs people, janitors, or the FBI – they all watch ‘The Wire.’ Sadly, beautiful, glamorous women don’t know anything about it.

My mother was a medical records librarian and wonderful with us girls. She sewed a lot of our clothes – really glamorous, beautiful clothes – and I think that’s part of why I was so successful when I went off to Paris; she’d made me all these wonderful clothes to take.

Music videos are not as glamorous as they seem. They are very tiring.

Acting is not glamorous. It’s not. Anybody who wants to get into acting for the glamour is in for a hard time.

I’m just not the glamour type. Glamour girls are born, not made. And the real ones can be glamorous even if they don’t wear magnificent clothes. I’ll bet Lana Turner would look glamorous in anything.

By starting a wrestling league, I hope to provide for wrestling the kind of visible and glamorous platform that the IPL has given to cricket.

The intense media coverage of today’s campus shootings presents a double edged sword. On the one hand, it gives us a chance to think about and reflect on the causes; on the other hand, in a very small minority of unstable minds, the repeated telling of the stories can be interpreted as glamorous.

It seemed too glamorous to me to be an actress like in the movies.
