We need a star
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
I walk on water
Everynight

Stardom is not a new phenomenon, we have appointed people as special for as long as human civilization has existed. Yet, the landscape is indeed changing. The dynamics that have changed other parts of society--technology, globalization, and social media--have also transformed the production of stardom and the ways in which individuals emerge as stars, whether self-appointed or publicly annointed. We are entering a whole new era of stardom, whereby entirely new types of people and aspects of society are producing our stars and their commodity forms. Some of these stars will come from our films, others from reality programmes, and still others from our Facebook pages and Twitter feeds. In all of these instances, we will exhibit the collective fascination with their banality and extraordinariness all at once.
ELIZABETH CURRID-HALKETT
"Stars and Stardom in the Creative Industries"
There is no spray can called 'Instant Stardom' -- only talent can keep you at the top.
JIM DALE
attributed, You've Got Talent
Stardom is intimately intertwined with the narratives enacted by stars; in other words, stardom is less a mystery than it is a cultural construction that feeds off memory and popular history.
MARCIA LANDY & AMY VILLAREJO
"Queen Christina", British Film Institute Film Classics, Volume 1
The superstar is. He does not create media events; he is in and of himself a media event.
ANONYMOUS
Ebony, 1979
Don't want to be common
Might want to feel stardom
Just want to be cared for
That's all, cool
THE WANNADIES
"That's All"
The sequel would catapult me into the New York Times #1 book for 18 months straight. I would not allow my stardom to affect my Zen-Monk demeanor. I would retire into my mansion, become a Zen-Monk master and own three Jeeps.
MICHAEL SCOTT GALLEGOS
"Beach House Anniversary", September 18, 2014
The years of sacrifice and struggle
The arc of stardom's natural course
The inevitable decline
The wolves waiting at the door
BOB SEGER
"Revisionism Street"
Once I achieved stardom, the whole apparatus of the theater palled on me.
TALLULAH BANKHEAD
Tallulah: My Autobiography
To handle that stardom, the red carpets, the photo shoots, people all of a sudden recognizing you and following you in everyday life, it's a bit weird. It's strange, and it can have funny effects on you in terms of do you like it or don't you like it. Some people run away from it, some people embrace it; I found a good middle ground.
ROGER FEDERER
"Q&A: Tennis: Federer's heart is in South Africa", Reuters, February 21, 2013
If any young actor dreams that stardom is a trip to heaven, while packing his bags, he'd do well to choose his wardrobe with a much hotter climate in mind.
HELEN HAYES
On Reflection: An Autobiography
I'm a movie star, I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
KIM CARNES
"I'd Lie To You For Your Love"
The idea of stardom was difficult to grasp. It was like being schizophrenic; there was her, the woman on television, and the real me.
JESSICA SAVITCH
attributed, Lifehack
If stardom is a combination of ordinary and extraordinary, the balance does sometimes need adjusting and the star does need to connect to the present, and in some sense the lived space of the fan.
MICHAEL WILLIAMS
Film Stardom, Myth and Classicism: The Rise of Hollywood's Gods
Remember the tragedy of a great movie star
She brought joy to millions was worshiped from apart
It seems she had everything was gifted from above
Yet took her own life she had everything but love
KITTY WELLS
"Love Makes the World Go Around"
Stardom today is very different than what it was years ago. Today your work defines you, and with every film, your stardom is double-checked.... You cannot be a star if you cannot bring the audience.
ARJUN KAPOOR
"Being Trolled is a sign of success, says Arjun Kapoor", Deccan Chronicle, July 18, 2017
I am suggesting that the appeal of stardom is that of constant reinvention, the dissolution of contraries, the embrace of wildly opposing terms.
JUDITH MAYNE
Cinema and Spectatorship
My beloved movie star
There's more than cold cream in your jar
When eyebrows arch and lips are dry
When you're alone at night, you cry
STAN RIDGEWAY
"Beloved Movie Star"
Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals.
ANI DIFRANCO
interview, A. V. Club, March 13, 2002
Spinning dreams with angel wings
Torn blue jeans a foolish grin
Burning down in the night
So cool so right
Star power star power star power over me
