It’s the same with people knowing absolutely everything there is to know about an actor. I actually think the more personal information you have about an actor, the more you have to carve out for yourself when you go to a movie and see them in it.
Meaning of the quote
When you know a lot about an actor's personal life, it can be hard to fully enjoy watching them in a movie. The more you know about an actor's real-life, the less you have to imagine and create for yourself when you see them on screen. It's better to go into a movie without knowing every detail about the actor, so you can focus on the character they are playing.

I’ve never worked as much as I would’ve wanted to, and that’s why I end up doing a lot of stage as well, because stage is a full course meal.
American actress (born 1958)
I would love to work more – I really would – but there is not a lot of stuff around and the stuff that is around is not very complicated; it tends to lie a little flat.

American actress (born 1958)
I get cold really quickly, but I don’t care. I like weather. I never understand why people move someplace so that they can avoid weather.
