Jeffrey Dean Morgan Quotes

I think there's a time when your personal life gets magnified by who we are as celebrities.

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.

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.

I don't want to be the actor who's followed by paparazzi, you know? I would like to just do good work and have that work be respected and acknowledged.

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

For me, I don't have a publicist. I don't want to talk about my personal life. I don't want to talk about my process. I don't want to be a model and do fashion shoots. It's nice to be an entertainer, but I'm a reluctant celebrity.

I'm just a normal girl who really enjoys her job, and so you have to take the other things that come with being in the public eye.

The minute I started being recognised, I became much more discreet.

The reason so many celebrities try to keep things secret is you want the chance to get to know someone without the glare of public scrutiny.

People speculate on your personal life all the time anyway. So I just think it's important to keep my private life private and my public persona more into music, you know?

No one likes it when their personal life is talked about, and I am no exception. But I guess it's the price an actor has to pay for being in the public eye.

I don't want to be a celebrity designer. I want to keep my personal life out of it.

I don't want people paying too much attention about what I am outside of football, what I'm doing, and asking: 'Who is N'Golo?'

My life in the spotlight has cost me a lot.

I don't want to be a celebrity. I never, ever did.

I feel fame shouldn't necessarily get me going, but I understand it is part of the job. Sometimes, it is inconvenient and unnecessarily imposing in your personal life.

The toughest thing about being a celebrity, I suppose, is being polite when I don't want to be.

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.

As an actor you accept that you have to publicise what you do, but as for the whole personal life thing that people sometimes choose, no, that's not for me.

I don't like everybody knowing what I'm doing, unless it's related to a movie. I don't like speaking to the press. I never did.

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.

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 get recognized now and again, but the paparazzi aren't following me around.

I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public; it's just that's my way of expressing myself, and I happen to be very famous.

Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do.
