They do awful things in the press. One newspaper in England said I was 12 years older than I am, and I was ready to sue.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never sue journalists. I employ journalists. I employ too many of them. I don't sue journalists.
The British press has been unfair to me and the public has followed.
Young people are so often dissed by the media.
If you talk to most people under 30, they don't read a newspaper.
The problem is that in our country, they make it almost impossible for politicians to win anything. In England it's easier to win a libel suit.
In France we have a law which doesn't allow the press to publish a photo that you didn't approve. It lets the paparazzi take the picture, but if they publish this picture, you have the choice to sue the newspaper. So me, I always sued them.
There are a lot more tabloids in England that like to report other things in your life, some of which are true and some of which are exaggerated and untrue. There have been stories where people claim to have seen me in one place and I wasn't even in that city then. The Aussie press is more judgmental and moralistic.
As a newspaper reporter, I covered and was around a fair number of crime scenes involving juvenile delinquents, and few things bothered me more than listening to their parents. Crying, ranting, proclaiming how great their children were despite being kicked out of school or previous run-ins with the law.
You don't want to go around willy-nilly suing news organizations. That's probably self-defeating.
It's ridiculous to imagine you can stay young forever and live forever. It's taking away from young people. There's a beauty and respect in age. Magazines and media are disrespectful of age.
