"I don't think I could think of a single thing that's more isolating than being famous," Lady Gaga recently said during Variety and PBS' Actors on Actors series.
"It's almost impossible for people even to probably look at my career and the things I've done and think, 'Oh, she didn't want [that] - of course she wanted to be famous, of course she wanted all that attention.' It's just, creative expression is what I am and I would've been doing this whether I became famous or not," explained Gaga.
"I wouldn't have given up to try to get famous in another way," she added. "I wanted to get a job being creative and I did."

Megan Fox said in a 2013 interview with Esquire: "What people don't realize is that fame, whatever your worst experience in high school, when you were being bullied by those 10 kids in high school, fame is that, but on a global scale, where you're being bullied by millions of people constantly."
"Twilight" actress Kristen Stewart told Harper's Bazaar in 2015: "Fame is the worst thing in the world. Especially if it's pointless. When people say, 'I want to be famous' - why? You don't do anything?"
"The Hangover" star Zach Galifianakis said during a 2014 press conference: "Being a celebrity is s---, it's dumb and I'm not interested in it. I like to be an actor, and that's it."
