How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Chicago.
Quote #7
ROXIE: I'm gonna be a celebrity. That means somebody everyone knows. They're gonna recognize my eyes, my hair, my teeth, my boobs, my nose.
This is so simple, it's profound. You might not be able to identify all the U.S. Presidents, but many people can ID the top movie stars, YouTubers, and musicians by face alone.
Quote #8
ROXIE: I'm a star, and the audience loves me, and I love them, they love me for loving them, and I love them for loving me. And we love each other. And that's 'cause none of us got enough love in our childhoods. And that's showbiz, kid.
Is Roxie right here? Is searching for fame and admiration a way to find love? And if so, is that why it sometimes feels hollow to achieve it? Because it's conditional?
Quote #9
ROXIE: Believe us! We could have never done it without you!
This is the most incriminating line of the movie. If anyone wants to demean Roxie for seeking attention and for reaching stardom after a tragedy, then they really need to blame other people. She wouldn't be famous if society didn't make her famous.
