I don't have people following me around, like bodyguards. I don't know how people live like that. Maybe the young movie stars have to live like that, I don't know. But it seems a little crazy to me. I don't think you need all that stuff.
Celebrity damages private life.
I don't feel sorry for people in the public eye getting eyed by the public.
When someone takes a private photo, on a private cell phone, it should remain just that: private.
Not having a private life is hard.
For the longest time, I was just real nervous about privacy and people prying into my personal business.
If people are constantly reading about you, and you're overexposed, they've got no reason to go see your movies. Also, it's not pleasant or nice to have your privacy invaded.
People watch me, waiting for me to slip up, so my privacy has gone - but that's a price you pay.
My private life is very private, and I have chosen not to live in America or England, where you are so exposed and can't fight against it.
Yeah, people following me down the street and at the airport and all that. I can't imagine what it must be like for people who are, you know, actually famous.
For a while, my private life was the most talked about thing.
Of course I don't like the fact that my wife goes to the supermarket and there are photographers. But I realise that the press attention is the same wherever you go.
You can't buy your privacy back. Because I was already doing OK, and to have this abstract amount of money now, I cannot buy my privacy back.
People think being famous is fun. It's not. Even a little bit of fame. It's bizarre. It's weird.
I really fight for my privacy.
I was getting dressed and a peeping tom looked in the window, took a look and pulled down the shade.
Fame invades your private life. It takes away from the time that you spend with friends, and the time that you can work. It tends to isolate you from the real world.
Human beings are not meant to lose their anonymity and privacy.
The incentive for digging up gossip has become so great that people will break the law for the opportunity to take that picture. Then it crosses the line into invasion of privacy. The thing that's really bad about it, though, is that the tabloids don't tell the truth.
I just cannot imagine why anyone would want to be really famous. You go to a restaurant and people are pointing at you and they talk about you and they whisper and it is very disconcerting; it is a very odd feeling.
A fan once asked if he could have a piece of my hair for voodoo. I said no, so he hugged me and plucked out a couple of hairs and ran off.
Hugh Grant will always be associated with his scandal, and so will Max Mosley.
It's the interviewee's job to know that his privacy is going to be invaded on some level. Otherwise, you are better off not doing the interview.
Basically, I still have the privacy that all celebrities crave, except for those celebrities who feel that privacy reflects some kind of failure on their part.
My take is, privacy is precious. I think privacy is the last true luxury. To be able to live your life as you choose without having everyone comment on it or know about.
