"I can't comment on any outside perception. I'm happy to come out and talk about movies that I've worked on in a setting like this. Otherwise, I have my own life that I live which is very different and private"

In this quote, Jennifer Connelly is mentioning that she can not speak on how others perceive her. Nevertheless, she is willing to go over the movies she has actually dealt with in a public setting. She then goes on to explain that she has a separate individual life that she keeps private, which is extremely various from her public personality. This could suggest that she values her personal privacy and chooses to keep her personal life different from her expert life. It also shows that she is selective about what she shares with the general public and selects to maintain a level of personal privacy in specific aspects of her life.
