"People became more interested in my love life than in me, and that has a certain effect. You start to feel very empty and worth nothing, you start to become a piece in a board game you never wanted to play"

- Anna Friel

About this Quote

In this quote, starlet Anna Friel assesses the negative effect of fame on her individual life. She describes how people's fascination with her romantic relationships eclipsed her as an individual, causing her to feel empty and useless. She compares herself to a mere game piece, required to play a video game she never wished to be a part of. This highlights the dehumanizing impacts of remaining in the public eye, where one's personal life is continuously inspected and their worth is reduced to their relationships. Friel's words serve as a suggestion of the damaging repercussions of society's fascination with celeb culture.
