The worst thing about being famous is the invasion of your privacy.
When I was outed by Perez Hilton as bisexual, I suddenly started being asked personal questions, which was really difficult.
I don't believe he had a responsibility to even answer that question - you have no responsibility to answer personal questions that people have no right to ask you.
People don't know what goes on in my private life, so they have to make conjecture from something that is photographed.
For celebrities, privacy is utterly nonexistent. You are asked intrusive questions about your personal life. You can be photographed at any moment.
Even someone as lowly as an assistant U.S. attorney has to undergo a background check, and you're asked a series of very invasive questions, and you're expected to tell the truth and they're under penalty of perjury. And you're asked those questions so you can't be blackmailed or extorted.
A lot of people say about 'Gossip Girl,' 'Well, how do you feel about gossip?' Well, who really likes gossip? No one likes to be talked about if it's not flattering or a compliment.
I just felt like, "Why would you discuss my body as if it's an object?" People will come up and say things like, "Are your breasts real?" I mean, people will come up and discuss my body as if I'm not human.
The Census Bureau can ask citizens very invasive questions, and if they don't respond, the government shows up at their door and threatens them with a fine.
I'm tired of the speculation about my personal life.
I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.
What you don't see are the cameras shoved in my face and the bizarre intrusive questions being asked, or the people falling over themselves, screaming and taunting to get a reaction.
It gets weird with people wanting to touch my hair and beard boundaries, you know?
It's so disappointing, to put it mildly, that people know so much about my life. Because it means that they're always trying to look at my books in terms of my life.
Definitely, when anyone asks me what I eat - I think that's the most disrespectful thing. There's no winning with that question.
Learning how to deal with people and their reactions to my life is one of the most challenging things... people staring at me, people asking rude questions, dealing with media, stuff like that.
Who wants their life and everything they have done for the past 25 years dragged in front of the American public?
I don't want to be involved in endless media gossip.
It's just a horrible thing to keep saying to a woman, do you want a baby inside you? I mean, it's creepy.
It's always when you think that you've lost a little of the baby weight that someone steps in grabs a handful of a now sans baby soft belly and asks the inevitable 'When are you due?'
