There are ways of avoiding becoming tabloid fodder and therefore giving people license to pry into your private life. And there's a distinction between being an actor and being a celebrity. You may become a celebrity through acting, but you don't need to do so.

I'm not someone who likes to be in the whole Hollywood tabloids.

What really matters is your movies and how good a person you are. Otherwise, tabloids and news channels writing about you only builds your curiosity and stardom and propels you to reach wider places.

I'm a career actor. And I question this constant reliance on TV fame and celebrity.

My life isn't tabloid-friendly.

I used to shy away from publicity so as not to let it get in the way of the work. But it's part of the job. The tabloids are a whole other arena. If fame happens, it happens. I just want to maintain focus.

It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.

I was uncomfortable with that kind of fame when you're in the tabloids every day.

It's so disappointing that I've become a tabloid story.

Any actor will tell you, anybody in the public eye, that the tabloids are the worst kind of ramification of being a celebrity.
