Sia Furler Quotes

I'm not a movie star like other actors in the way that I need to walk with a bodyguard.

Having bodyguards is just part of being famous, I think.

Sometimes I go out disguised, but people still recognize me, so I find there is no point in even trying. It would be nice to get away from it, from time to time, but the fact is, there is no place on earth where I can go unrecognized.

I get recognized now and again, but the paparazzi aren't following me around. I get to go to the shop and buy bread and milk, and no one worries me.

It must be odd, being recognisable. I would hate to lose that anonymity. It happened for a while with 'Spooks.' No one notices me now.

I'm not someone who wears shades all the time and ducks into a darkened car in case I'm recognized - that would be absolute misery.

You won't find me at parties or the openings of movies and I don't hang around with David Beckham and Kanye West. So the paparazzi leave me alone, which means that I can do my shows, write music and then live a normal life.

I don't want to be more famous than what I have right now. At least in that sense where people come up to me in the grocery store.

One great benefit of not being on TV every week is that people will be a lot less interested in what I have in my supermarket basket. I could even un-tint my car windows - or at least opt for a lighter shade.

I used to hate being recognised.

I don't really want to find myself face-to-face with 10,000 paparazzi. I just want to be comfortable.

I don't want to be a celebrity.

Where was Paris Hilton a year ago? She's a fabulous character to write about.

I've had time to taste fame, but I definitely lean towards being the kind of actor where I'm happy to be able to walk down the street and go to the corner store and not get hassled.

I like coming home because nobody knows who I am. In Cookville, I'm Rich. I'm not a big deal. People like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, they just can't live a normal life and you do feel sorry for those guys.

I can go out and chill with my friends, go out to dinner, and I won't get hounded like, I'm sure, Paul McCartney or somebody like that.

I don't think I'm prepared for life in the spotlight. I don't even think I'm really prepared now, but I still don't really feel like I'm in the spotlight a lot. I'm not a household name. I'm not followed around by paparazzi. I still have a very normal life. I'd love as many people to know and like my music as possible, but there's something quite lovely about being able to still go and watch your boys play football.

I can go out in public without being recognized. If I want to be recognized in public, it will happen.

No one can train you to be famous. How do you deal with the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy? You have to be disciplined.

I'm not a kid. You don't get in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of.

It's fascinating to be in a place where no one has ever heard of me.

But I just wonder what it would be like to be able to go places without people recognizing me.

I'm in the public eye. I know I'm not going to be treated like a normal person walking down the street.

Fame is a funny thing. I like doing normal things. I like going to fairs. I like going to ball games. I like going to Disney World or a big field on the Fourth of July and having picnics with friends. The problem is you're either worried you're going to be recognized, or you're thankful you're not. It's always there.
