A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.

I still don't buy the idea that I'm a 'sex symbol.'

I don't want to be known as a sex symbol. There's a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott.

It's not my plan or whatever in my life to be a sex symbol. It never is. You are who you are, but you can't help what you look like. And when you do a film, like for me, it's just not about that. I would prefer to downplay it. I prefer to downplay the sex appeal.

I can't be described as a sex symbol; I think it's ridiculous.

I love being regarded as a sex symbol, but I can't take it too seriously.

I'm not really the sex symbol type.

I know I have sex appeal, but I've never felt like an actual sex symbol. Fans sometimes think I am. The majority of them are sweet about it, but occasionally somebody weird becomes totally fixated upon me.

Being a sex symbol isn't cool unless you're in love with a girl, and she calls you a sex symbol.

I hate the whole reluctant sex-symbol thing. It's such bull. You see these dudes greased up, in their underwear, talking about how they don't want to be a sex symbol.
