Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I`m not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am g...
Alan Rickman
[About gaining notoriety from her work on "Grey`s Anatomy" (2005).] I`m anxious about losing anonymity. I keep asking Chyler Leigh, "How`s the supermarket?". (2007)
Brooke Smith
Fame definitely has its effects. A lot is relative. You gain so much with fame, and in the same respect you give up quite a bit - the most precious being my anonymity, which I didn`t realize until it was gone.
Jamie Luner
When I got the [T3] job, my manager said, `Kristanna, just enjoy this last year of anonymity, because afterward you`re not going to be able to pump your own gas.` I feel ready. Why not?
Kristanna Loken
On Taxi Driver (1976): "I think it`s one of the finest films that`s ever been made in America. It`s a statement about America. About violence. About loneliness. Anonymity. Some of the best works are those that have tried to imitate that kind of film, that...
Jodie Foster
I`d love to spend more time on the Isle of Man. I love the anonymity of putting on a boiler suit and going down to buy parts for the compressor. And Norman Wisdom`s a neighbour; I salute him occasionally.
John Rhys-Davies
When I left drama school, I had very long hair, and I just cut it a year and a half ago. Now [nobody recognizes me] and I have a comfortable anonymity.
Oded Fehr
I am not the first man who wanted to make changes in his life at 60 and I won`t be the last. It is just that others can do it with anonymity. I was interested in changing my life. I have always had the ability to change and become other people through my ...
Harrison Ford
For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.
Michelle Pfeiffer
The loss of anonymity is something that nobody can prepare you for. When it happened, I recognized that I`d lost one of the most valuable things in life. To this day, I`m not all that happy about it.
Harrison Ford
You lose your anonymity just like a helium balloon with a string. Therefore people are going to have their own opinion and they`re going to write in whatever clever manner they desire.
Kim Basinger
Well, I don`t think I`ve ever consciously come up with tricks and tools to, kind of, hide. I do think I`m a bit more vigilant, in terms of safety issues and things. And sometimes it is kind of nice to try to hold onto your anonymity.
Calista Flockhart
There is a powerful tension in our relationship to technology. We are excited by egalitarianism and anonymity, but we constantly fight for our identity.
David Owens
There are simply more young people than there ever were. You get this feeling of strength. Also, large numbers can be a drawback, making it difficult to lose one`s anonymity.
John Knowles
The freedom to connect to the world anywhere at anytime brings with it the threat of unscrupulous predators and criminals who mask their activities with the anonymity the Internet provides to its users.
Amarri Jackson
So I try not to do press and if you can keep the balance of keeping a certain degree of anonymity and do interesting work then you can hope for a degree of career longevity.
Charlie Hunnam
Mind you, even in places where I`m much better known, I walk in anonymity, mainly because folks know authors` names, but not their faces.
Bernard Cornwell
I`m sacrificing part of my anonymity which I enjoy to have more options as far as what I can get off the ground. It`s a give and take sort of thing.
Mark Ruffalo
I`m not a kid. You don`t get in this business for anonymity. It`s not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I`m kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family - their privacy. That`s what I`m ...
Hugh Jackman
I think I`ve kind of got the best position. I get all the benefits of being in one of the biggest bands in the world and have a certain anonymity as well. So I`m perfectly happy with the situation.
Guy Berryman
I never wanted to do on air. Because the fact that you`re on air, people take shots at you for no reason, and that made me uncomfortable. So I retreated to the safety and anonymity of behind the camera.
Jimmy Roberts
I mean, I don`t want to sound - of course it`s very nice, people come up and say appreciative things about my work. But the loss, in terms of privacy and anonymity, is no small thing to me.
Todd Solondz
For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.
