I don't like seeing myself on screen. Whenever I see or hear myself, I think, 'What is that eejet doing now?' I'm in the wrong business. I don't like the limelight.

Terry Wogan

I grew up never seeing myself on-screen, and it's really important to me to give people who look like me a chance to see themselves. I want to see myself as the hero of any story. I want to see myself save the world from the bomb.

Sandra Oh

If I don't like seeing myself on the screen, I think when I start seeing that, that's when I think I'll stop.

Charlize Theron

On screen and off screen in WWE, seeing people reflect what our world looks like, that's the goal, and I'm excited to be a part of that.

Big E

I couldn't stand seeing myself on the screen.

Eve Arden

I like taking my leads from what I see rather than trying to impose. I like that way of looking at things and seeing what's on screen and seeing how I can draw music out of it almost.

Steven Price

I’m a black woman who is from Central Falls, Rhode Island. I’m dark skinned. I’m quirky. I’m shy. I’m strong. I’m guarded. I’m weak at times. I’m sensual. I’m not overtly sexual. I am so many things in so many ways and I will never see myself on screen. And the reason I will never see myself up on screen is because that does not translate with being black.

Viola Davis

It's not seeing myself 40 feet tall on a movie screen - it's the work. That's what thrills me.

Sissy Spacek

Seeing myself on the screen makes me cringe. I understand that I am that way - pouty.

Lana Del Rey

I'll never get bored of seeing flawed women on the screen.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge

For me, I believe that just seeing women be strong and tough is not answering the question of what a female hero looks like. Women have their own set of skills that are worth exploring and seeing on screen.

Brie Larson

I have never watched property programmes. I watch Property Ladder, because I feel it's very rude for a director to work very hard on a programme and you can't be bothered to even watch it. So I do watch it, but I have to turn away when I'm on screen. It's quite unpleasant seeing myself up there.

Sarah Beeny

If I get a note on my script or my films, what I say to a studio executive is that, 'You know, this is the film of my legacy, and I never want to be sitting in a theater looking up on the screen and seeing something that I don't believe in.' I will never do that.

Gina Prince-Bythewood

I don't like anything I see of myself on screen. I might like one scene or a few shots, but mostly I feel bad and keep kicking myself.

Manoj Bajpayee

The fact that I'd never really seen myself on screen allowed for a blissful ignorance. It didn't feel like a movie. I didn't have that self-consciousness. It was a game that I was playing.
