I think a lot of times, when people who get a chance to meet me and be around me, they understand that I'm not the person that the media make me out to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm 19, and, being a public figure, I'm supposed to present myself in a certain way, but it's hard and you're never going to be able to tell people who you are through the media.
I don't really live my life in the media spotlight. People don't know that much really about me or what I think.
I think I'm not always what I seem. Most people, when they get to know me, say, 'You know, when I first met you...' People initially think I'm a snob because I'm intensely private.
People tend to think they know you when you come into their televisions every week. They think you are different than who you are. Don't believe everything you hear.
I don't conduct myself like a rock 'n' roll star in my day-to-day living. Am I a celebrity? Yes. Do people recognize me on the street? Yes, they do. But at the same time, it's not a media center out here. People get used to you.
In the beginning, the media was calling me a bad boy all the time because of the way I act and feel onstage. None of them have ever taken the time to get to know me when I climb offstage.
I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?
As to a media personality, well that just happened in large measure because people found me amusing, and I did lots and lots of T.V. news interview shows.
I don't know, I think people who meet me just get pretty much what I am.
A lot of times, I feel like people come up to me because they think I'm like my character in 'Easy A', or because they've seen me in interviews, but really what they're a fan of is a movie or a character.
