Any newspaper, from the first line to the last, is nothing but a web of horrors, I cannot understand how an innocent hand can touch a newspaper without convulsing in disgust.
If news is not really news unless it is bad news, it may be difficult to claim we are an informed nation
People getting along doesn't sell very well in the news. I find that to be deeply depressing. I don't even talk about it on stage, because it would take too long to explain.
You should never pick up a newspaper when you're feeling good, because every newspaper has a special department, called the Bummer Desk, which is responsible for digging up depressing front-page stories.
You know journalists. You know the media. They are going to hang on to anything negative they possibly can.
The media is so mean these days, it is unbelievable.
The media dwells mostly on negativity.
Two of the people I don't care about: fans or media.
Criticism is nonsense. TV shows and newspapers just want to fill the space.
Whenever I see the news, it's always the same depressing things.
The bias of the media is neither liberal nor conservative but negative.
Whenever I read the newspaper, I say to myself, 'At least my wife loves me.'
The media loves negative spin.
There are about 20 people in my life that I want to love me, and none of them are the 'Daily Mail.'
I've gotten to the point I won't even watch the 11 o'clock news. You just walk away from it thinking how bad everything is.
Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
How drab people are, especially from the press.
Everything that's written about me has such a negative taint. It just has a life of its own, like an avalanche, and I don't think there's anything I can do to stop it.
A lot of reality shows tend to harp on the negative. The person isn't pretty enough or can't sing well enough or maybe isn't even funny enough.
There are so many negative things out there on television and movies right now. Even the daily news, it gets depressing.
My belief is that everything that's written about you is actually secondary showbiz nonsense, and you shouldn't take any notice of it.
You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I'm a normal person. Just because I'm in the spotlight doesn't mean I'm God's gift to the world. I'm learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.
It's kind of a funny world we live in today with tabloids and all. I feel there's so much negativity out there and people sense that people only want to read things that either are controversial or negative, therefore you end up dealing with people lying about your life and having to answer to things that become ridiculous with an onslaught of lies and you have to answer to them.
I've been dealing with the press for 45 years. You need a very long spoon to sup with them. While you are always grateful, they are like badly trained dogs. They smile and wag and bite your arm off.
I hate publicists and publicity. But I love the people.
