Duncan Jones Quotes

I don't like to be always in the press, or on television or always be on seen. It is not how I like to lead my life.

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.

That's the beauty of being a straight-to-DVD star. It really helps you stay under the media's radar.

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.

I've no wish to appear in celebrity magazines.

But anonymity is very important to me, and I don't want to be recognized in public more than I already am.

There are ways of avoiding becoming tabloid fodder and therefore giving people license to pry into your private life. And there's a distinction between being an actor and being a celebrity. You may become a celebrity through acting, but you don't need to do so.

I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven't even known I'm on.

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

I never used to get photographed and people asking for autographs. I don't mind the autographs, but the paparazzi I find weird. As an actor, you want to be able to regard the world instead of having it regard you.

Today there are paparazzi out, I'm doing a day of press, I'm in a hotel, I've just been on Radio 1. But when I'm in my day-to-day life people don't know who I am and I'm left to my own devices.

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

That's the time that I enjoy: away from the cameras, away from the audience, the scenery of going out to eat and everybody's staring at me.

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

I enjoy fame, but I like normal, too. Going out is difficult; you are recognised, and you cannot be normal anymore... you start living in a bubble, and I am a normal guy.

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 like to be in the public eye or talk about my private life.

I never wanted to be famous and live my life in the glare of publicity.

I'm not one that cares for publicity.

Ideally, I would like to not be in the public eye.

I feel like I've been dealing with that building over the years because of the Broadway community, so I'm treating it in the same way - I've always tried to keep my personal life private. I didn't get into this business for notoriety or fame. I don't go to places to be seen and that's not going to change.

I don't want to be known as somebody that everybody knows about.
