Chuck Palahniuk

My private history in terms of people in my life who are dead is very easy to discuss. I don't feel those people can be threatened or intruded upon now. But I am enormously protective of the people who are currently in my life, my existing friends and family. That is where the curtain is drawn.

American Novelist

Jed Mercurio

I love to do things that kind of mess with the movie formula that you can always find the right place to park; you've always got a phone signal. And I think audiences really respond to the limitations of real life when they intrude on drama.

British Writer

Peter Carey

I have written a memoir here and there, and that takes its own form of selfishness and courage. However, generally speaking, I have no interest in writing about my own life or intruding in the privacy of those around me.

Australian Novelist

Kristin Gore

It's all discipline and schedule for me. I mean, it's very easy to get distracted by the real world and things that intrude constantly, and it takes dedication to live totally in your head and be tuned out.

American Author

Eric Bogosian

The world intrudes in my brain daily. Since my brain is dripping with all kinds of stuff that's out there in the world, that I can't seem to be able to shut out, it has to end up being in my work as well.

American Actor

James Arness

The kids don't really have any part of my television life. Fortunately, there aren't many times when show business intrudes on our family existence.

Epicurus

Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man; his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.

Greek Philosopher

Jodie Foster

I don't like the outside world to intrude when I'm making a film. I like to either see my family or work, but I don't like to go out.

American Actress

Ingrid Bergman

I don't think anyone has the right to intrude in your life, but they do. I would like people to separate the actress and the woman.

Swedish Actress

Nicholas Winton

I've always enjoyed doing work that intrudes, or helps people.

Natural Process
