Nobody likes a phony. These are people who are willing to lie, scam, cheat and steal to get their way. As a result of this nearly-universal hatred, many celebrities have voiced their opinion of such phonies and their despicable lifestyles. From actors to musicians to scientists, everyone has had their say. Some quotes have become memorable and ingrained into the popular culture. People use them
. today because they accurately express their opinion of this part of the human population.Actors and actresses are most known for speaking of the acting business as being phony. For instance, Pierce Brosnan has admitted that "[being James Bond] never felt real to him. [He] never felt [he] had complete ownership over Bond. Because you'd have these stupid one-liners - which [he] loathed - and [he] always felt phony doing them." Similarly, these actors have spoken out against such practices as plastic surgery, in Brian Austin Green's case, claiming that "If somebody doesn't have enough judgment to be able to look at plastic surgery and realize how phony it is, then they can't be helped."Many of these celebrities also claim that phonies are easier to spot than they think they are. Jimmy Johnson said "The only thing worse than a coach or CEO who doesn't care about his people is one who pretends to care. People can spot a phony every time." Most importantly, these celebrities try their best to keep from becoming phony. Despite the common conception that Hollywood makes them that way. Vivian Stanshall once said "I'm not different for the sake of being different, only for the desperate sake of being myself. I can't join your gang: you'd think I was a phony and I'd know it." There is a sense of identity that many of these people work their hardest to preserve.More reference links: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/phony.html http://www.searchquotes.com/quotes/about/Fake_People/
