I feel like everyone has the right to privacy, even if you're the most famous person in the world.

You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.

To be honest, I'm a little upset these days. My family has been exposed to the media. Some people break into our house. My ex-girlfriend's photos are circulating online. To say that these are things I need to endure for the sake of celebrity... that's sad. I want to respectfully request that my private life remain private.

I'm not on Facebook. I'm not on Twitter. I know a lot of celebrities who go around complaining how little privacy they have.

I am of mixed minds about the issue of privacy. On one hand, I understand that information is power, and power is, well, power, so keeping your private information to yourself is essential - especially if you are a controversial figure, a celebrity, or a dissident.

I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.

I don't think I responded very well to the sudden celebrity, the sudden fame, and the loss of privacy.

I hate that tabloid idea of anybody who is famous having to forfeit their privacy.

I'm not on Facebook. I'm not on Twitter. I know a lot of celebrities who go around complaining how little privacy they have. And then my question to that is always, 'Well, how much of yourself are you putting out there?'

I think celebrity has become almost normalized. I feel like we all live our lives in a pale imitation of celebrity. With Facebook, we choose a photo that is not too good a photo - we're more arch than that. We're our own celebrity publicists. We understand it so innately.
