Imagine that you're walking homewards after doing your daily shopping or doing something very banal and everyday thing and someone would run up to you with sparkling eyes asking for your autograph. What would you do? How would you react? Would you try to explain him or her that he or she is mixing you up with someone famous or you would be in for the game and act as if you really were that famous person. And what kinda celebrity would you be? Would you act like Madonna, shooing your fan away without an autograph or you'd be friendly? Please, give me a detailed scene of the meeting with your fan!

It's happened before, not often as I am not famous, but I have had a few articles published in specialist magazines and some people have actually asked me to sign them. I basically act like I'm an excentric genius and that for signing things it is generally considered polite to be repayed with a free drink.

Can't do the detailed scene thing. Put it to you this way I'm a firm believer in what comes around goes around. So if I try to fake the funk and portray someone I'm not it will bite me in the ***. I don't need to act like someone else in fact I don't want to because celebrities are full of **** and stay in the lime light just fro the attention.

An old man with bad eyesight once confused me with a famous celebrity. When I tried to correct him; he thought I was still the same celebrity trying to keep my cover. I finally humored him and signed his paper, met his wife, and he was positively thrilled. He probably shared his meeting with me to everyone who would listen...and ultimately, I was flattered.
Another time, I was chased down a narrow street in a foreign country by a mob of people waving pens in the air wanting my autograph. It was truly frightening...and to this day, I don't know who they thought I was. Some poor bloke had to pull me into a doorway before they caught up with me. If this is what it means to be a celebrity...no thanks!

I would tell the person that it's a mistaken I am not whom him or her think I am and give a nice smile and thanked for "an indirect" complement.
Madonna is more famous by her attitude than by her talent.
I think most of her fan admirers her because of her bad attitude too and I think they would like to see a real Madonna reacting exactly like herself, shooing them away. After all its part of her act!
I like Madonna very much but I don't think shooing her fans away is the right attitude...for sure she knows better than me after all this time she still on the road. Who am I to tell how Madonna should treat her fans?!!! I would hate be treated like that but it seems it has worked fine for her.
I am a very private person, I don't like being bother at all, not even by my cell phone that I use more to checking message than answering when it rings...People complain about it all the time but I don't care I am not a doctor whom are always in some kind of emergency.
It's my nature I am mot trying to excuse myself but being honest on expalining the real reason why I act like that.... I have a "very imperfect" nature that's why I am always surrounded by few and old friends. I don't like being popular at all but I am very polite and caring when someone approaches me for a picture or something.
PS: I don't feel to pretend being someone else to feel joy of being me. Sometimes we wish for more money or being more beautiful but isn't pretending being someone else that will gets me there. Most of the time I like being myself and those whom usually doesn't like me are those whom don't know me well. Most people I know have a totally diferent opinion about me after get to know me.
My conclusion? On my case I value more the opinions of those I considered important on my professional life or in my private life. Isn't everyones opinions that are important to me or valued equally in my life. I don't know who they are or think to need so much stranger's recognitions or admirations.....maybe its because my private nature again.

That happens to me sometimes. People think I'm Vanessa Carlton or Michelle Branch. I'm nice and i sign their paper how they want it and pose for photos. talk for a while about my new album coming out. It's fun to mess with people's heads

I'd give him his autograph, on the account that he gives me a dollar.

Write something rude and quite illegible followed by an indecipherable signature... and smile condescendingly.
