which celebrity said i want to be alone
Greta Garbo From the early days of her career, Garbo avoided industry social functions, preferring to spend her time alone or with friends. She never signed autographs or answered fan mail, and rarely gave interviews.[102][103] Nor did she ever appear at Oscar ceremonies, even when she was nominated.[104] Her aversion to publicity and the press was undeniably genuine,[105][106] and exasperating to the studio at first. In an interview in 1928, she explained that her desire for privacy began when she was a child, stating "as early as I can remember, I have wanted to be alone. I detest crowds, don't like many people."[107]
