It’s impossible to have a personal life when you’re constantly travelling.
Keep some of your personal life to yourself; otherwise, you won’t have one.
Journalists ask me, ‘Why don’t you ever talk about sex in your performances?’ True, I don’t talk about sex – not in my personal life and not in my professional life. This is modesty.
I’m fortunate enough that my personal life falls into whack with my professional life. My kids love visiting the sets; they love the monsters.
The stories of accomplishments, achievements, challenges, problems, issues, concerns pass down through history, and those are things you take with you in your personal life wherever you go.
It’s not my job to get really personal in how I express myself. I’ve met fans, and they’ve been lovely. But letting my personal life out there, I don’t think is a good idea for me. I think the more you do that, the more you can be accused of encouraging that kind of attention.
My faith in humanity leads me to believe that people are looking for something more elevating than the sordid details of the intimate aspects of one’s personal life.
I want people to know me through the movies I do. I want to be judged on that. If you start becoming famous for your personal life, that’s when your career goes away.
I remember reading the cruelest, most awful thing about my hair online. A person speculated about who I was as a person and even read into my personal life based solely off my hairstyle. He or she said I must be lazy because I have short hair. It was just devastating.
I wanted to do a movie about being really good at something, yet being socially awkward and not as advanced in your personal life as you are in your creative life.
Sometimes it’s hard to open up about your personal life, your relationship because you always want the music to be in the forefront. You want the music to be the biggest carrier of everything that you represent.
A trip to space is a big motivator to give up some things in your personal life. Obviously, you can’t give up everything and you don’t want to.
I have learned that keeping my personal life outside of work is the easier, richer way to work.
Your personal life is something that’s gonna last forever, and your career in stage, film, television, whatever, is not necessarily going to do that, so to keep the two separate’s a very good thing.
If I’m in the car after a bad game, I may think about ways I need to improve. But the second I reach home, the game’s over. Work doesn’t come inside with me. Same thing in reverse – I don’t bring my personal life into the ballpark. Learning to keep it all separate has made life easier.
Please remember that as you become a more extraordinary human being, every element of your outer world must change accordingly. Just has to. So the more remarkable you become, the more remarkable will be the professional and personal life you’ll create.
Everyone has a perception if you are divorced. I got so busy with work that I didn’t even have the time to realize what was happening in my personal life. I had my own way of dealing with it.
