You would never have seen me on any party scene, which is probably what made me able to disappear, in a way, because the tabloids had nothing to follow.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think the tabloids find me very interesting.
I find that when you see somebody in the tabloids all the time, you have no desire to see them in movies.
What happens is this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work. You go to a movie, you only go once. But the tabloids and Internet are everywhere. You can really subsume the public image of somebody.
I don't buy the tabloids, but you're surrounded by it all and people tell you things they've read. I'd be sitting on a train looking over someone's shoulder and thinking: That's familiar... oh my God, it's me.
Switching the public's perception and view of me was, and still is, kind of a challenge to get them to see me outside of a character that I played on TV for so long.
I never read the tabloids.
Now I'm seen by more people in one episode than I was in 20 years of theatre and movies. It's gratifying to have an impact on 25 million people a night, but I can say goodbye to my lunch-pail life as a working actor. I'm scared I might be a celebrity.
I started acting when I was three years old, so I was able to see the inside before seeing the wrapping; I wasn't seeing, like, the way tabloids make people.
I never talk to tabloids.
I never feel that far away from the tabloids.
