Default Is there a fine line between a planet and a star?

IE: Is it possible to have an on/off star? ...Or does the mass have to
surpass the necessary requirements, such that once fusion commences, it
would be guaranteed to be ongoing. ...And 2): would the critical mass
ensure that the ignition would initially commence with the very central
atom within the mass, or can fusion commence within a plus or minus
gravitational pressure range? ...Jon
