Quotables

“Honestly, I’m a wreck. Every time I see a camera, I’m a wreck. I don’t tend to react as though ‘I have to do this, it’s my job.’ I am reacting as a woman who is 5-foot-1 whose space is being invaded by a bunch of men whose aggression I can literally feel. In L.A. it is even worse because they are running red lights behind you, and I worry all the time about something terrible happening, someone getting hurt because of me, how I could ever possibly live with that. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have kids in the back seat and have to go through this and pretend for their sake that you are not scared.”

Ashley Olsen discusses the paparazzi in a new interview with the New York Times.

  • DAMN! Look who’s been eating too! What? Is like Brad Pitt doing all you can eat buffets and everybodys invited. 1st Nicole Richie with the boobs, 2nd Angie’s arms, now Ashley. If you show me Mary-Kate or Keira Nightly with a fat ass, I’m telling me boss I have a migraine (worked for Janet) and going home early. This is poppycock I say!

  • I like Ashley now more than I ever have…. and it’s nice to see she is looking normal weight-wise, too. Yay. :)

  • I have always thought the Olsen twins have squat, weird looking heads with no neck. They look good and healthy and all, but they also look like weird little trolls.

  • Oh man, she sounds like a perfectly normal rational human being here. Crap, that makes me almost want to like her. Almost.

  • she put that very well, as much as people dismiss celebrity complaints about paparazzi, i have watched some of the britney TMZ videos where she is being chased and it must be terrifying.

  • I like Ashley, and think she has turned out seemingly “normal”, all things considered. This statement supports that beleif.

    It’s hard to sympathaize, given all the other perks from the fame/money, but I agree that the scenario she painted sounds frightening.

  • “In L.A. it is even worse because they are running red lights behind you, and I worry all the time about something terrible happening…I can’t imagine what it would be like to have kids in the back seat and have to go through this” Oh I know there is an answer to this problem….wait for it…wait for it……how about …don’t raise…..your kids……………………..IN LA. Oh my God, I’m spent. Woo! Thinking is hard.

  • I’ve always been a fan of these two ever since I was little and this is exactly why. They are so composed even after being in a not so good spotlight for so long. I really am proud of their accomplishments and that actually was an amazing story about them.

  • qgk I agree. happy to see that she’s put on some weight, and also to hear her say smart things. wehee! perhaps humankind isn’t doomed after all.

  • Good grief, Ashley, quit torturing those puppies and let them out of that dress before you suffocate them and I report you to the ASPCA. As a matter of fact, since you (now) look like an attractive woman (intead of a ugly little troll), why don’t you ditch the dress entirely and let us see what your bare ass looks like with some meat on your bones.

  • the whole outfit is kinda fug and dated but she looks really good! it’s so nice to these emaciated stars but on some much needed weight. now can we work on force feeding the 90210 girls, taylor momsen and keira knightley? seriously, they just need a delicious hamburger injection.
