Robert Powell Quotes

Nobody cares about your autograph. There are cameras everywhere, and there are media outlets for them to 'file their story'.

I think the paparazzi might have chased me out of Los Angeles.

I can't stand the gossip of celebrities' lives, all the time! Every minute!

It's horrible to get a cameraphone shoved in your face every time you walk out the door.

I think people should be protected from being made to feel that they want to know what somebody famous had for breakfast.

I remember, one time my friend and I were trying to get back on the tender of a boat we were staying on, but there were so many paparazzi we couldn't find it. So now there are all these pictures of me going, 'Where are you?' and just a billion paparazzi not letting me on.

You never really see me, unless its accidental, in the tabloids or any of those magazines.

Paparazzi will try to get the most controversial picture of you in a compromising position because that's how they're going to sell it.

We've all seen the media endlessly focus on the personal lives of celebrities. Most of it is gossip and tabloid fodder.

In Hollywood everything is so documented. If you go for a drink with somebody, it's passed around the world so quickly.

The problem with paparazzi is that it makes you question your boundaries, like, how do I say, 'That's enough guys?'

I wish we could go back to the time when the private lives of our public figures were relevant only if they directly affected their public responsibilities.

If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.

I never feel that far away from the tabloids.

I don't get celebrities not understanding that the paparazzi are doing their job.

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

The airport paparazzi kind of wigs me out a little bit.

It's funny - nowadays people that are famous get chased by paparazzi. They have this fame, but they don't have the money to hide from it.

Even if you're walking through the airport or going to pick up your mail, if you meet a fan and they have a camera, they will take a picture of you and millions could potentially see that picture - if it's picked up by a blog or whatever.

I'll take photographs with kids. People who want to take photographs with me. People who like the movies. People who supported me. I'll do that all day, all night, that's fine. But the bombardment of the paparazzi is just... I truly don't understand. It just feels like this kind of gluttonous, horrific sport. It's like sport.

I think what's interesting about the whole paparazzi thing is that unless you're Brad Pitt or Madonna, you can pretty much avoid it. You know when you're going to an opening that you will be photographed, so that's fine. And you know the restaurants that have paparazzi, so you don't go to them.

What I can't completely understand is most other people's fascination with what the famous among us do with their lips and the rest of their bodies. Why do ordinary people become the target of this curiosity simply by virtue of the fact that other people recognise their names and faces but know almost nothing else about them?

There's such big pressure on people who are incredibly famous, on those who have people sitting outside their front door and taking photos every time they move.

I think I've ignored it so much so that when the paparazzi are following me I really don't see them. You don't see them anymore.

I was shocked the first time the paps got me in America - when a video camera is put in your face and you're asked questions and 15 people are walking backwards taking your picture. I was coming out of a pizza shop and had my daughter with me.
