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

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

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

Ana Kasparian

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Carla Gallo

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

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

Clara Bow

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

Daniel Craig

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

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

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

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

Diora Baird

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

Dustin Clare

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

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
