Quote

I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.

I appreciate when people enjoy my work, but I don't like being recognized in public.

I am not immersed in self-admiration.

For me, I don't have a publicist. I don't want to talk about my personal life. I don't want to talk about my process. I don't want to be a model and do fashion shoots. It's nice to be an entertainer, but I'm a reluctant celebrity.

I hate publicists and publicity. But I love the people.

I'm not one for a public display of my life.

It's not in either my personal or business interest to be a highly visible person.

I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts, people who want to be famous for no reason.

To be known by the public, honestly. People come up and tell them how good I make them feel.

I have no other view than to promote the public good, and am unambitious of honors not founded in the approbation of my Country.
