As soon as I go out into the world, I belong, in a way, to everyone else. It's legal to follow me. It's legal to stalk me at the beach. And I can't call the police or ask them to leave.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm at the beach all the time. I surf. I fish. I dive. These things on Instagram are really my life with my buddies doing my normal day-to-day stuff. I happen to be shirtless a lot.
My life would be very puzzling to most people if they had to follow me around for a day or two.
You must obey the law, always, not only when they grab you by your special place.
I live in a country where I'd say nine out of ten people know me when I walk through the streets. There's people taking pictures, there's tabloids trying to make up stories. I'm used to that. The same thing when I'm in Australia or the U.K.: I get stopped.
It's a little dangerous for me to get outside myself and think about how I want people to see me.
People tracking your life and photographing you anywhere you go, that can make you crazy.
I realize at one point, that I was being followed, and then I began to see the surveillance that was going past the road on my house. And so, these cars began to surveil me. People began to follow me around, and it did, it was very disrupting to think that your privacy was being violated, and for no reason that I could come up with.
That whole thing: the paparazzi, a gazillion magazines. You can't lie on a beach. God forbid your bikini rides up too far or you've eaten too many doughnuts and they catch you wiping your mouth. That must be exhausting, that lack of privacy.
If you are everywhere, then you've sacrificed the very thing that you are complaining about, which is your own privacy.
I say to the paparazzi, 'Fellas, take your shot and go.' It's just they usually find me on a beach.
