He that has a great nose, thinks everybody is speaking of it

Summary

This quote implies that people who possess a particular trait or characteristic often worry excessively about others noticing or talking about it. The "great nose" becomes a metaphor for a prominent quality that someone may be self-conscious about. It reflects the tendency of individuals to be hyper-aware of perceived flaws or unique attributes, often assuming others are equally preoccupied with them. This notion highlights how self-consciousness can cloud one's perception and contribute to an exaggerated sense of self-importance.

I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.
