About this Quote

This quote by Gabriel Byrne talks to the trouble of being in the public eye as an actor. He acknowledges that it is "ludicrous" to be paid to be seen, yet he is unpleasant with attention being contacted us to him in a public location. This recommends that he is not a very outbound or friendly individual, and that he prefers to keep to himself. It is reasonable that he would feel this way, as remaining in the general public eye can be frustrating and intimidating. It is admirable that he is able to put himself out there in spite of his pain, and that he has the ability to perform his job in spite of his natural disposition to shy away from attention.
