Honestly, I'm not interested in gossip. Thing is, I know a lot of successful actors, and in hoping to be successful myself, I would like to think others would respect my privacy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want to be involved in endless media gossip.
I know that gossip comes with a territory. It's a professional hazard, and while initially, I'd get a little riled, I''ve now learnt to handle it well. And honestly speaking, it's all very good publicity, isn't it?
I'm not sure exactly how gossiping about my life with my audience really helps them.
I don't want to know about the lives of other actors and I don't want people to know too much about me. If we don't know about the private lives of other actors, that leaves us as clean slates when it comes to playing characters. That's the point, they can create these other characters and I can believe them.
As an actor, I think it's really important to be as anonymous as possible. It's your job to convince people that you are somebody else, and so any recognition I'd get away from the screen - well, it's not something I actively seek. To be honest with you, I'm surprised anybody does.
I don't really care about gossip. I care about building great businesses.
Do I ever think Gossip will be really massive in America? No, I don't think it'll happen - and that's fine. It's kind of nice because I get to experience everything at once. I get to come home and it not be weird, like in Paris or something. It is nice to be completely anonymous.
If you're a public figure, people have the right to speculate and gossip.
I'm a very private person, a very bookish person. The social world of Hollywood I know nothing about because I choose not to take part.
I'd rather make all my secrets public than have an image based on gossip. I'd rather put it out there myself and control it.
