"But, people are recognizing me more. Sometimes fans just approach me on the street and say how much they love the show. It's great to get that kind of feedback"
About this Quote
Fame, in Catherine Bell's framing, is less a spotlight than a steady drip of proof that the work landed. The line is built on a modest escalation: "recognizing me more" softens the brag, "sometimes" keeps it casual, then the street encounter supplies the vivid, modern credential of celebrity. Not premieres, not critics, not awards - just strangers interrupting your day because a show became part of their routine. That's the cultural shift tucked inside her plain language: visibility is measured in micro-moments, not monuments.
The quote also performs a careful emotional negotiation. Bell doesn't claim ownership of the show's success; she borrows the fans' enthusiasm as a mirror. "They say how much they love the show" is strategically indirect - it's admiration routed through the project, not her ego. The subtext is gratitude, but also safety. In an industry where women are routinely punished for seeming too aware of their own appeal, humility becomes a kind of PR armor.
Calling it "feedback" is telling. That's a word from test audiences and social media, from a culture that treats entertainment like an ongoing conversation. Her intent isn't to mythologize fame; it's to normalize it as data: confirmation that the performance connected, that the persona traveled beyond the screen. The warmth of "It's great" lands because it's ordinary. She's describing a new status without announcing it - the most believable way to admit life has changed.
