“But anonymity is very important to me, and I don't want to be recogniz...” — Todd Solondz Quote

But anonymity is very important to me, and I don't want to be recognized in public more than I already am.

I mean, there are many other directors who are probably both more skilled and excited to adapt novels or work within certain genre conventions. I'd like to do that kind of work someday, but for better or worse I'm too drawn by my own material.

Narcissism and self-deception are survival mechanisms without which many of us might just jump off a bridge.

When I'm asked who my audience is, I say someone with an open mind, which is not a vacant one and sometimes a liberal mind is not the same thing as an open one.

Renowned people from all fields receive unnecessary flak so often. Anonymity is misused, and it is a terrible thing to want to break somebody's spirit.

Losing my anonymity in this world I think is something that I find terrifying.

You never appreciate your anonymity until you don't have it anymore.

People reveal so much of their mental processes online, simply because the psychological effect of anonymity just means that a whole raft of inhibitions are left alone when people log on.

I remember Michael saying, 'Rich and famous? It's much better to be just rich'. I didn't quite get it to begin with. But he's right. You lose anonymity. I say to my family that you've no idea until you lose it how precious anonymity is.
