Patton Oswalt Quotes

Anonymity is the fame of the future.

I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account.

The Internet made fame wack and anonymity cool.

I have lived in public as a somewhat recognizable person since I was a teenager. Emails I answer end up posted on sites; pictures of me and someone I just met, taken by a cellphone, literally number in the thousands and are easily accessed.

Fame is the worst thing that can happen to a person. I choose not to appear in anything publicly. Twitter's it!

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.

A little recognition is not a bad thing because it means people appreciate your work. The only problem is when you can't walk down the street or have a meal without people looking at you. I want to be the one looking at people.

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