Tyronn Lue Quotes

I don't court paparazzi. I definitely don't like that part of it.

I never aimed to be on television or in the press. We all have a personal life, and being a public figure disrupts that.

If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut.

When you get into the public eye, one day, you're kind of unknown, and the next day, you have people in your bushes waiting to take a picture of you.

I don't think it's a secret that I'm not a fan of all the attention and the media, stuff like that, but I understand it's part of it, and I have to do it.

When you're in a position to be paparazzi-ed just walking down the street, you'd look a little daft if you were smiling all the time.

Being a movie star, and this applies to all of them, means being looked at from every possible direction. You are never left at peace, you're just fair game.

Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There's a lot of things that come with fame - it's what people in the limelight have to do.

I don't really resent being on the red carpet as much as I do having to deal with the paparazzi.

The downside of being a celebrity is that people kind of know about you, and you really don't need them to know about you - you need them to know about your work.

When you have had the kind of fame I had, I was always hounded by the media and I lived a very isolated life. Now it's even more difficult. The world has changed dramatically.

I'm in the studio 24 hours a day. It's true that once you get a certain level of success, you become a target. Talk magazine should be ashamed of themselves.

I want a private life, I truly do. I'm not just pretending to want one like lots of celebrities.
