I try to live my life as honestly as I can, and the last thing I want is to pretend to be something I'm not. To pretend to myself I am a sex symbol would somehow be dishonest. I'd feel, in my heart, that I were behaving artificially and that's the last thing I want to do.

Cherie Lunghi

I have the pleasure of being surrounded by desserts and chocolate. If that makes me a sex symbol then great, but it's not my aim in life.

Adriano Zumbo

Life Great UN

Men can be sex symbols and also earn respect for their professional accomplishments, and the same standard should apply to women.

Ana Kasparian

Women Respect Men

I wouldn't want to be known only as a sex symbol. I wanted to be known as an actress equally or even more so.

Angie Dickinson

Would Wanted Want

I wake up every morning, look in the mirror and ask, 'Am I a sex symbol?' Then I go back to bed again. It's stupid to think that way.

Antonio Banderas

Morning Way Wake Up

I was in Asia and people asked me about being considered sex symbol. I don't know if that's good or not, because where I come from, sex isn't something you're allowed to talk about.

Bai Ling

Good You Where

I really enjoy playing a sex symbol, but it's not something I feel in real life. I'm much more of a natural girl at home.

Becki Newton

Life Home Yin

I hate the whole reluctant sex-symbol thing. It's such bull. You see these dudes greased up, in their underwear, talking about how they don't want to be a sex symbol.

Ben Affleck

You Whole Who

That whole sex symbol thing I never took seriously to begin with. Thank goodness, or I'd be suffering right now because it's out of your hands what happens to you with age.

Bo Derek

Good Age Your

When you see a person, do you just concentrate on their looks? It's just a first impression. Then there's someone who doesn't catch your eye immediately, but you talk to them and they become the most beautiful thing in the world. The greatest actors aren't what you would call beautiful sex symbols.

Brad Pitt

Great Your You

I'm the girl next door, not the sex symbol.

Carla Gallo

T Symbol Sex Symbol

I try to live my life as honestly as I can, and the last thing I want is to pretend to be something I'm not. To pretend to myself I am a sex symbol would somehow be dishonest. I'd feel, in my heart, that I were behaving artificially and that's the last thing I want to do.

Cherie Lunghi

Life Art Would

Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.

Clara Bow

Car Wilder Wild

It's not like I go out there to be a sex symbol. I mean, it's nice of course - but embarrassing.

Daniel Craig

T Symbol Sing

I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image.

David Bowie

Age Would UN

The fact that I got famous and became a sex symbol around my normal, frumpy, love-handled self is so gratifying - and, dare I say, culturally gratifying as well.

David Harbour

Love Famous Yin

For lack of a better term, they've labeled me a sex symbol. It's flattering and it should happen to every bald, overweight guy.

Dennis Franz

Weight Weigh Very

I'm aware that people see me as a sex symbol. But I know I can act.

Diora Baird

War T Symbol

I'm passionate about being an actor, but I'm definitely not passionate about being a sex symbol.

Dustin Clare

T Symbol Sex Symbol

I'm a sex symbol. Is that wild? It blows me away. I mean, I've always known it, I just figured nobody else did.

Dusty Hill

Wild Ways Way

I find the whole concept of women screaming at me so odd. It's very flattering, but I don't think I will ever consider myself to be a sex symbol.

Ed Sheeran

Women Men Will

In terms of men I fancy, I think the actor James Franco is gorgeous. But I find it odd to be described as a sex symbol myself.

Emma Watson

I know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol.

Eva Mendes

We took Big Pun, a 700-lb Spanish guy, one of the greatest rappers ever, and made him a sex symbol. Women would wait on line to kiss him.

Fat Joe

I don't think I'm going to be an international sex symbol. I mean, I know I'm not going to be an international sex symbol.

Florence Pugh

I was asked to be in Vogue but I said no. I didn't want to advertise make-up. I didn't want to be seen as a sex symbol.

Francesca Annis

I am not a sex symbol of the Broadway community. I know guys who are, and I say, 'Rock it out.' But I'm more comfortable in a different land. I don't know what land it is, but not that one.

Gavin Creel

You can have Asians being leading men that are sex symbols. You can have leading women powering through.

Henry Golding

I still don't buy the idea that I'm a 'sex symbol.'

Hope Solo

You watch yourself age and it's hard to feel like a sex symbol.

Idris Elba

Mick Jagger, his face was very new. It became a sex symbol.

Isaac Mizrahi

I'm not a sex symbol. How could I be with these skinny bowlegs?

Jaclyn Smith

When people say, 'You're perceived as a sex symbol,' I love the idea of that because it's so absurd.

James Nesbitt

When I think of sex symbols, I think of posters my two sisters had on their bedroom walls.

Jamie Dornan

You'd be hard-pressed to find an actor who isn't a sex symbol somewhere.

Jamie Dornan

I am not a sex symbol.

Jason Isaacs

I don't know what it means to be a sex symbol. When I look myself on a magazine cover I don't see it as me, but as someone painted, fluffed, puffed and done up.

Jennifer Aniston

I'm not a sex symbol.

Jenny McCarthy

The whole sex symbol or babe thing doesn't bother me.

Jeri Ryan

It's not my plan or whatever in my life to be a sex symbol. It never is. You are who you are, but you can't help what you look like. And when you do a film, like for me, it's just not about that. I would prefer to downplay it. I prefer to downplay the sex appeal.

Jessica Biel

In our society, women are valued for their sexual attraction. I'd like to get away from the sex symbol idea of what beauty is. Actually, that's probably the farthest thing from beauty, because it's makeup and hair, it's pouty lips - it's not real.

Jessica Chastain

I didn't know I was a sex symbol in the U.K., but if I am, then I'm flattered.

Jessie Pavelka

I don't have a problem being labeled a sex symbol, though I personally don't feel very sexy about myself.

John Abraham

It's rather amusing at my advanced age to become a sex symbol.

John Forsythe

I don't think I'll ever be comfortable being considered a sex symbol, especially after you work with someone like George Clooney.

John Krasinski

I'm flattered to be called a sex symbol and, on occasion - if I've had a nice bottle of Beaujolais - I can imagine myself really being one.

John Nettles

But, in real life, I'm not a sex symbol. I'm popular with female viewers, but television is fantasy land. People watching don't see the real person; they see a romanticised image.

John Nettles

I love being regarded as a sex symbol, but I can't take it too seriously.

John Travolta

Spock was the sex symbol. A lot of people think it was Kirk. But, no, it was really Spock.

Jolene Blalock

I would never know how to sell myself as a sex symbol. That's not how I'm programmed.

Jude Law

I'd hate to be a sex symbol. Because you're always having to live up to an image. I haven't got time to sit around doing my nails.
