"I have never felt, at any point in my life, good or bad, any ill will ever from the man or woman on the street"
About this Quote
The phrase “the man or woman on the street” is classic show-business shorthand, but it also flattens class and politics into something simpler: everyday strangers as a moral baseline. Lowe isn’t praising fans; he’s praising anonymity’s last remnants inside celebrity culture. In a media ecosystem where “public opinion” is often mediated by algorithms, trolls, and professional outrage, he draws a bright line between online aggression and offline encounters. The subtext is: don’t confuse the loudest voices with the real world.
There’s also image management in the humility of it. Lowe positions himself as someone who moves through America unscarred, even welcomed, which quietly reinforces his brand as affable, presentable, and durable. It’s not naivete so much as a plea for proportion: the street is kinder than the comment section, and maybe our cultural panic about each other is, at least sometimes, a screen.
