Granted, there are some publicity whores in the mix, but the majority just want to lead a somewhat normal life.
I remember meeting with Jennifer Anniston a few days after the whole "Brangelina" thing went down. We were location scouting and the paparazzi were relentless, I'd never experienced anything that severe. Decoy vehicles, lookalikes, everything was used to throw them off her trail.
Years ago I worked with Lorenzo Music (Carlton The Doorman, Garfield and voice over on a buttload of commercials). He told me he had the best job in the World, making a ton of money and could walk down the street and nobody would recognize him unless he opened up his mouth.
I prefer my anonymity, the celeb life is not for me. It pays well but they can have it.

One of the ladies I used to work with was a typical human and went on dates while she was still in high school. Her father was a local radio announcer and did thousands of commercials in the local market. Everyone knew his voice. She said she was bieng a typical girl on a date and in a lip lock with a boy in his car and listining to the radio. A commercial with her dad's voice started and she was suddenly daddy's little girl again and made the boy take her home. She said her dad's voice ruined the mood for her.
