"Any time that we have time to take off, we love being home"
About this Quote
The "we" is the key. It softens celebrity into something communal and ordinary, a plural voice that suggests a private unit (sisterhood, partnership, chosen family) rather than an isolated famous person. It also functions as camouflage. If you speak as "we", you can be less available as "I". The sentence offers a safe intimacy: home as an idea, not an address.
"Love being home" is deliberately low-drama. No grand statements about gratitude, purpose, or reinvention. Just a small, human preference that repositions them away from red carpets and toward the off-camera life they’ve guarded for years. In the mid-2000s and after, when fame increasingly required constant access and performative authenticity, saying you want to be home is a subtle act of boundary-setting. It’s relatable, yes, but it’s also strategic: a way to claim normalcy without pretending the spotlight never happened.
