I don’t know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don’t want anybody to know my identity. I’m like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.

I want to be Robin to Bush’s Batman.

Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.

Nobody knows me.

I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn’t want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

In heaven an angel is nobody in particular.

If I had to choose a superhero to be, I would pick Superman. He’s everything that I’m not.

There are only two ways of telling the complete truth – anonymously and posthumously.

Superman don’t need no seat belt.

I’m nobody, who are you?

There’s no such thing as going to a soapbox and saying, ‚The government’s corrupt,‘ and not having the intelligence service see your face. In the digital world, that can be done.

For ideas to prevail, many of their defenders have to die in obscurity. Their anonymous influence makes itself felt.

When Facebook was getting started, nothing used real identity – everything was anonymous or pseudonymous – and I thought that real identity should play a bigger part than it did.

The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don’t meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it’s essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you’re going to be an actor.

Most people are happy being average. Most are happy being faceless in a sea of faces.

I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films.

I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.

The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.

I knew no one who’d ever been in the public eye.

I’ve always loved the idea of playing Black Adam.

I just miss – I miss being anonymous.

The Internet made fame wack and anonymity cool.
