It merely means you’re being chased by a lot of people and you lose your privacy." More In Romantic "I really do love Diana Ross; I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico, so while we got the music, we never got the experience of watching her."― Salma Hayek "My parents were involved in everything I did. They were showbiz people themselves. My dad was an actor. They were parents; they did what parents are supposed to do."― Tina Yothers "We owe to the Middle Ages the two worst inventions of humanity – romantic love and gunpowder."― Andre Maurois
