I learned early on to stay away from gossip magazines and reviews. That stuff just makes you unhappy, and I know actors that read everything that's written about them and they're miserable. You can choose what to let into your life.

I'm not sure exactly how gossiping about my life with my audience really helps them.

I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts, people who want to be famous for no reason.

I don't like journalists and I hardly ever talk to them.

Every week I read about myself in a magazine, about something that I haven't done or some place that I've never been or don't even know. It's just gossip, rumors, egos, and politics.

I've been avoiding journalists my whole life.

I think the key to being a journalist is getting your subject to feel comfortable enough to talk about stuff they want to talk about and the stuff they like and don't like, and still feel comfortable about it.

I don't like to read. The only things I read are gossip columns. If someone gives me a book, it had better have lots of pictures.

I'm not a media darling. I'm not on the cover of all these magazines. I just quietly do my thing.
