Beth Ditto Quotes

One of the reasons why I don't leave Northampton is that the people don't treat me like a celebrity. I've been here for years; I'm just that bloke with long hair.

People have recognized me sometimes but not much. I'm glad my life isn't too different. I don't want it to be.

Living in Finland as a singer of Nightwish, I'm used to having people around me all the time that know who I am. In the Netherlands, people never really knew or cared or whatever.

I don't like to be famous.

I want everyone to recognize and know me. I don't want bodyguards. I want to be able to go out into the masses.

Like, people recognizing me on the street never interested me.

I have no desire to be famous at all.

It's funny; I think I'm at a level of recognizability - is that even a word? - where it's just really nice.

But for me, it's just a few times every day when someone will say something sweet and validating, and it's just the best.

I have always been reasonably anonymous, but I suppose that has gone with the success of 'Homeland.' I feel a lot more visible, which is good and bad. Good because I am getting recognition, but I am slightly apprehensive because I always enjoyed my anonymity.

I wanted to be just a normal girl flirting with a normal guy. It's like, you meet people, and they know this stuff about you. It's why you want to meet somebody who's in the same business, only because they understand more. But you don't necessarily want to be with another actor.

That's the time that I enjoy: away from the cameras, away from the audience, the scenery of going out to eat and everybody's staring at me.

I've been acting for 27 years, and anonymity has always been a part of what I do. Of course you get recognised every now and again, but 'Homeland' pushed me into a completely different strata, and that took me by surprise.
