The way people appear in the gossip papers, as they're depicted as celebrities, it's not often much like who they are. The more people I meet, the more that's true. Sometimes, they're worse.

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.

I loathe celebrity. I can't stand it.

People love gossip. It's the biggest thing that keeps the entertainment industry going.

I hate these reality TV shows where people walk off Big Brother and think they're A-list celebrities when they've done nothing in their lives, it really does my head in.

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.

But it kills me, this fascination with celebrities' personal lives.

Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.

I don't really care about gossip. I care about building great businesses.

I mean, the media and bloggers may say otherwise, but in reality I have a lot of fans because I'm the only celebrity that actually takes time out to call them and talk to them. I don't think a lot of celebrities do that.
