There are no secrets better kept than the secrets everybody guesses.

The human body is strange and flawed and unpredictable. The human body has many secrets, and it does not divulge them to anyone, except those who have learned to wait.

The real question for me is, do people have the tools that they need in order to make those decisions well? And I think that it’s actually really important that Facebook continually makes it easier and easier to make those decisions… If people feel like they don’t have control over how they’re sharing things, then we’re failing them.

I don’t have people following me around, like bodyguards. I don’t know how people live like that. Maybe the young movie stars have to live like that, I don’t know. But it seems a little crazy to me. I don’t think you need all that stuff.

I feel only my friends and family need to know what is happening in my personal life.

I’ve learned that usually, the less I know about other people, the better off I am.

I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.

Big Brother is watching you.

Nature is wont to hide herself.

Fortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I’m very grateful for the support and kindness that we’ve gotten. People have respected their privacy and in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband’s policies or what have you, they care about children and that’s been good to see.

The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.

It’s dangerous when people are willing to give up their privacy.

The true and the approximately true are apprehended by the same faculty; it may also be noted that men have a sufficient natural instinct for what is true, and usually do arrive at the truth. Hence the man who makes a good guess at truth is likely to make a good guess at probabilities.

Our cellar home had a kitchen and a combination bedroom and half bath, which meant we had a sink next to the bed. We had no refrigerator, no shower or tub, and no privacy. My parents shared the bedroom with my sister and me.

Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty.

It’s dangerous to read the Internet about yourself when you’re me. Or when you’re anyone in the public eye.

There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.

I’ve got nothing to hide.

There are things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind.

The only secrets are the secrets that keep themselves.

On the Internet, you think everything is going to be public.

I believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.

In order for me to be successful… In order to be a great artist – musician, actor, painter, whatever – you must be able to be private in public at all times. That is what we do.

I don’t want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left.

Unless a president can protect the privacy of the advice he gets, he cannot get the advice he needs.

There is a need for aloneness, which I don’t think most people realise for an actor. It’s almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you’ll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you’re acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They’d all like sort of a chunk of you.

Well, in order for me to be successful… In order to be a great artist – musician, actor, painter, whatever – you must be able to be private in public at all times.

There is nothing we like to communicate to others as much as the seal of secrecy together with what lies under it.

I do not recognize the right of the public to break in the front door of a man’s private life in order to satisfy the gaze of the curious… I do not think it right to dissect living men even for the advancement of science. So far as I am concerned, I prefer a post mortem examination to vivisection without anaesthetics.

Once you’ve lost your privacy, you realize you’ve lost an extremely valuable thing.

If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure – the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?

A career is born in public – talent in privacy.

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.

I think it’s very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them. They need to know that everything’s going to be all right, even when you’re not sure it is.

I let people fill in the blanks on their own. If they want to think about their ex, that’s fine. If they want to think about maybe who one of my exes is, then that’s fine. And it might not be right, because I’m the only one who knows what these songs are really about. It’s the one shred of privacy I have in the matter.

I sang a lot of low stuff on songs like ‚Secrets‘ and ‚Rockin‘,‘ almost like Toni Braxton. On ‚Secrets,‘ I’m a different person.

If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

I don’t think you get successful to brag and throw what you have in the world’s face. That’s all private.

There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.

My apartment is my stage, and my bedroom is my stage – they’re just not stages you’re allowed to see.

To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect others to keep it is folly.

My personal feelings are my personal feelings. I don’t want to express them with anyone except for a very few people. It doesn’t do any good. It really doesn’t.

Whoever wishes to keep a secret must hide the fact that he possesses one.

You don’t know when you’re being watched. That’s one of the weird things about celebrity. It’s my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.

I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.

I don’t have anything to hide.

If I were to make public these tapes, containing blunt and candid remarks on many different subjects, the confidentiality of the office of the president would always be suspect.

I don’t like people looking at someone else’s image.

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.

Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft.

No one gossips about other people’s secret virtues.

There’s always been a lot of information about your activities. Every phone number you dial, every credit-card charge you make. It’s long since passed that a typical person doesn’t leave footprints.

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.

Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.

I can walk through a hotel lobby and watch people at the desk and see what they’re doing. People don’t look at me. They don’t even know I’m there.

The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.

Lettin‘ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier ‚n puttin‘ it back in.

I think all documentaries leave out areas of people’s lives. Which is good. There are areas that need not be explored.
