for some people life outside the spotlight is death.
I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.
In a way, it's good not to be recognised as much off screen.
I spend all my time trying to avoid the spotlight.
Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.
I'm trying to be a working actor. I'm not in pursuit of fame. I'm not trying to be in the kinds of films that make you famous like that.
I'm uneasy with fame so I do my best to avoid places that will bring me more attention.
I'm not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I'm not saying, 'I'm sooo not famous,' I'm trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.
If it was up to me, it would be nice not ever to get stopped on the street, because we just do music. I didn't do this to become a celebrity.
I'm not a publicity hound, I hope.
Quite frankly, I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.
I've never wanted to be famous. That has never been a part of any dream. I do remember being little and thinking I might want to be a singer. But not a famous singer - just, like, a singer.
I've never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can't say I would turn my back on fortune. I'm someone who enjoys the benefits of money.
I'm not one of those people the tabloids chase around.
I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous.
I spent the '90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony.
I never see myself as the famous person. It never was a part of my life, and I hope this doesn't become the most eminent thing about what I do. I just hope that I'll do things that have meaning for me and for others somehow.
I'm not a media darling. I'm forever the outsider, for whatever the reason is.
I have no desire to be famous, definitely not.
When I felt that fame - people were nosing me out - well, I moved on. I used traveling names; wigs if necessary.
I don’t think famous is what I necessarily went for. The media was never something I really looked into and now especially I see it happening to me I think I was very smart when I was younger to not want that. It doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen, I just avoided it as much as possible.
I don't do celebrity.
I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.
I don't think about being a celebrity.
You'll never see me in any of the tabloids because I've made a conscious effort to stay out of that. I'm not interested in fame. I'm interested in hard work and letting my work speak for what I do. I've been in high-profile shows but you don't see stories on me because I don't go out and court them.
