Fame changed my life completely because, for a while, I was in a position to choose what I did. I miss that aspect. But I always felt uncomfortable with it.
Reading about myself on public platforms makes me uncomfortable. I don't like it. I read other people's interviews or articles, but when it comes to myself, if I see something about myself then I immediately turn over the page.
I don't think I'll ever be comfortable being considered a sex symbol, especially after you work with someone like George Clooney.
I'm all for anybody having a party who wants that. The funny thing about me and birthdays or any kind of celebration where it brings attention to you in that way is that it's never been anything that I've thoroughly enjoyed - even as a little kid.
I really just can't watch myself. I see all the machinery at work and it just drives me nuts.
I don't even watch my own actual self on TV.
I'm an American so its kind of hard for me to talk about 9/11. So whenever someone brings it up in a conversation, I say "I didn't like 9/11."
For a much lauded writer, I'm not terribly self-absorbed. In social situations, which are difficult for me - I mean, this is an interview - I'm normally uncomfortable talking about myself.
It's very awkward to watch yourself on TV because I hate the sound of my voice. It's those moments where you're like, 'I do that?'
I don't think it's anything you ever get used to... for many years, I could never sort of put my name in the same sort of category as the word 'famous' or anything like that. And I just found it very uncomfortable... if you get used to it, then something must be wrong.
It's not like I go out there to be a sex symbol. I mean, it's nice of course - but embarrassing.
I can't stand watching myself on TV.
I don't enjoy being on social media or at events.
I love to meet the fans. I just get embarrassed with those who weep. I don't know what to do or what to say. It's a very embarrassing situation.
It's really hard to watch yourself on TV. It's definitely different in that the world has to watch, too.
I don't watch anything I'm in. Not even on set. I won't go over to the monitor to watch what we've just shot. It's too terrible. I think I'm just very self-conscious.
I get embarrassed by people. It's really awkward for me to have a chat with people who have been to see a gig.
It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention.
It actually makes me squirm now, when I see my chapped lips on television.
I never like seeing myself on screen.
I'm not good at watching stuff that I'm in at all. I should stop. I shouldn't watch something for the first time with a room full of people at Sundance. It's not a good idea.
I get uncomfortable in large groups of people and loud music.
I'm very shy about seeing my own face on the screen.
I got a little bit famous. I didn't like it.
It's a little weird exchanging pictures for money. You know what I mean. It makes me a little uncomfortable.
