"I`ve tried several disguises and stuff but that doesn`t work. I do get recognised sometimes but it`s cool,"
- Rupert GrintWhen the picture was over, it was like it had never happened. I returned to school and by the time it was in theatres I`d changed a lot so I wasn`t even recognised much. So, when I was, it was always a nice experience because people like `Charlie`. He`s a nice kid. My parents told me to look on it as an experience, which is what I did....My mom and dad were not at all stage parents. They made sure I had a clear choice about what I did for a living. I`m really grateful to them because being a veterinarian is very gratifying.
- Peter OstrumMy looks aren`t something that come dazzlingly through in everything I do. I can be made to look one way or the other fairly easily... I am still not recognised on the street that much.
- Colin FirthUpon waking up face down in a door way and not knowing how he got there: "I recognised that it had become a problem, so I just quit. I do have self-control. Once I realise that I`ve got to change something I just do it."
- Morgan FreemanIt would be nice to be on the charts again, nice to be recognised.
- Nancy SinatraI get recognised sometimes, and that`s really cool. I`ve tried certain disguises, but that doesn`t work.
- Rupert GrintI don`t mind being recognised, I often quite enjoy it. I don`t mind signing autographs but sometimes it can be just a bit too much.
- Sharon StoneIt was not always easy because I was always an individual and found it difficult to be one of a group. One person who was very supportive was my father. My mother was great but my father really recognised my individuality and supported me in that.
- Sharon StoneReally it was the first time in my life that I recognised that acting is, I`m just going to say it, I am an artist, I have to do this, I have to do this.
- Téa LeoniTo be recognised by a whole country is incredible. This is massive.
- Zinédine ZidaneBefore the US (2006) mid-term elections, my rabbi was taking a lot of flak. The congregation is exclusive-liberal, yet he is a self-described independent (read "conservative") and he was driving the flock wild. Why? Because a) he never discussed politics; and b) he taught that the quality of political discourse must be addressed first; that Jewish law teaches that it is incumbent upon one to hear the other fellow out. `So I, like many of the liberal congregation, began - teeth grinding - to attempt to do so. And in doing so I recognised that I held two views of America. `One was of a state where everything was magically wrong and must be immediately corrected at any cost; and the other (the world in which I actually functioned day to day) was made up of people who were in the main reasonably trying to maximise their comfort by getting along with one another (in the workplace, the marketplace, the jury room, even the school meeting). `And I realised that the time had come for me to avow my participation in the country in which I chose to live - and that this country was not a schoolroom teaching values, but a marketplace.
- David MametIts only when you are a great actor and are recognised for your good work that you become famous. Unless you are in the news for the wrong reasons!
- Christine LahtiI quite like being mobbed. After all it is extremely nice to be recognised. That`s what acting is all about - being recognised.
- David HemmingsIt is a joyous occasion for a scientist when the subject which interests him most is recognised by the highest honour that the world can bestow.
- George PorterThere is all the difference in the world between departure from recognised rules by one who has learned to obey them, and neglect of them through want of training or want of skill or want of understanding. Before you can be eccentric you must know where the circle is.
- Ellen TerryConstantly, and it starts to annoy me. In France almost everybody recognises me wherever I go. In Italy too it`s impossible for me to walk somewhere without being recognised. - On being recognised.
- Rocco SiffrediYou don`t have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person, doing extraordinary things. I`d like more people to know that it`s there. Women`s achievements still aren`t recognised enough in many areas.
- Joan ArmatradingI don`t like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

- Steve CarrMy Department has already recognised this and has been working specifically on the technical support issue since January and will offer advice to schools during the Autumn term.
- Alejandro UrregoFor these two individuals, one of whom knows how to make Governments change but the other knows how to best use his resources for good causes to come together in this way is I hope going to be very special for the both the countries that they will help but it is also very special for Scotland to be recognised in that way on the international stage.
- AristophanesSometimes he caught himself listening to the sound of his own voice. He thought that in her eyes he would ascent to an angelical stature; and, as he attached the fervent nature of his companion more and more closely to him, he heard the strange impersonal voice which he recognised as his own, insisting on the soul`s incurable lonliness. We cannot give ourselves, it said: we are our own.
- James Joyce
