 4 名人語錄
星光大道 Celebrity Quips

演藝界的明星在媒體的曝光率特別高,言談舉止也特別受人矚目。因此這些人偶有一些妙語,也比較容易被人傳誦。

這一類的星光大道,有故作驚世駭俗之語者,有透露出內心深處感受者,也有反映出練達的人生體驗者。這裡蒐集了一些比較精彩的話和讀者共享。挑選的原則有二,首先必須是出自演藝界鼎鼎大名的明星之口,其次必須是簡短、精彩、言之有物的話語。

以下分成女歌手、男歌手、女演員、男演員四類依次介紹。另外還有一個鬼才伍迪艾倫,集編、製、導、演於一身,還定期在俱樂部裡演奏薩克斯風。把他放在哪一類好像都不太對,偏偏這個人的名言又特別多,所以乾脆把他獨立為一類,特別介紹。

王子原名Prince Rogers Nelson,所以「王子」可說是本名。不過他一度把名字改為一種怪異的符號,類似♀與♂的綜合體。由於念不出來,一位英國記者就替他取了新的綽號:The Artist Formerly known as Prince(從前叫王子的藝從)。在經過了幾年的尷尬之後,現在他又把名字改回Prince了。
