You can avoid the press if you really want to and I don't walk around with five security guards either because I think that just draws attention.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't do press for the sake of press. I tend to only be in the press when I'm introducing something or collaborating on something or whatever it may be, as opposed to inviting someone into my home to photograph my closet for no particular reason.
I purposefully isolate myself from anything that has to do with any press. I don't read any press about myself.
I'm not that great with press sometimes.
I'm not a security-type person: I don't want to have bodyguards around me. I'm not into all that.
I don't operate under threats. Full stop. I don't. I don't buckle to pressure.
People think I've got a problem with the press. Actually I have no problem with the press, but just like in football there are a handful who cause problems because they're disrespectful, they're lazy, and above all - and this is what really gets to me - they haven't worked hard to get there.
Honestly, everybody gets talked about. Some people control their press a little more than others. Some people feed the press and move it the way they want to. I don't do that.
I don't have big security guards. I don't have an entourage.
I mean I constantly had security guards around me when I was younger and I wasn't allowed to go to the mall with a lot of my friends and stuff like that. And so, when I finally was able to sneak out, I would just really, really take it to the next level.
I never mind doing press; it's never bothered me.
