Paul Gascoigne Quotes

I mean, it's a bit of a double-edged sword being a celebrity and being an actor as I'm sure you know. Your public laundry is constantly aired out and I thought that maybe I could do some good.

It's hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don't know me.

I owe 90 per cent of my life to people because I am a public figure, but 10 per cent is private to me. And I am not saying it in a defensive way. I feel my life has been made into a TV serial.

People keep speculating about my personal life because I am evasive about it.

When you are a celebrity, nothing remains secret for very long.

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 an actor, you have to find a way to make peace with all the media attention.

The funniest thing is I never understood why actors were so shady about who they're dating. Then I realized the things you say get printed and the people you're involved with read them. That's what's tricky. Nothing goes unnoticed. I don't want to get myself in trouble!

I know I am in a band that is famous, and my private life is famous. I get it, and it's fine. Even when I grew up in a village, people wanted to know who was going to the dance with whom, and I understand, but I think if I engage with it too much, it won't be that healthy.

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.

I don't want to expose my personal life. It's best that people know me for my work. My family doesn't want to be surrounded by cameras. We want to live like any other family.

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.

It's harder to live the way I live. There are certain places I like to shop and eat where I simply don't go. The paparazzi follow you.

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.

My goodness, my hair's been talked about by a million people, you know? It sort of goes with the territory.

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 don't really talk about my personal life. It's a strange and funny and weird thing. Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you're dating. If I try to answer everything people say, I would be up all night.

I've no wish to appear in celebrity magazines.

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.

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.

The public already knows about me more than I ever wanted it to know.

I don't talk about who I'm dating because when you break up, you wind up reliving it in the media.

On a serious level, I wouldn't tell the press if I was in a relationship or not. I wouldn't ever reveal that, because it takes you down a certain road... I have no desire to be courting the press with my love life.

It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.
