Taylor Momsen does not want to be considered a role model. The Gossip Girl actress admits to having a bad attitude and is not making any apologies for it.
Taylor may play a New York socialite on television, but she does not want to be compared to celebrities like heiress Paris Hilton. Taylor recently defenparisded some of her questionable behaviors. “I’m not Paris Hilton,” she insisted. “I don’t really care about being a celebrity. It comes along with the territory so you can’t totally avoid it. But there’s a difference between doing the red carpet and having people invade my personal life taking pictures of me. And that’s why celebrity is so stupid."
She went on to explain the difference between herself and her television character, Jenny Humphrey. “You don’t want to become something that a few million people watching your show want you to be. I want to be who I am because, if I lose that, then what am I doing this for? It’s not about fitting in. If you don’t fit in as yourself, then you don’t fit in.”
Taylor admits to smoking and does not try to hide the fact that she is less than perfect. “I smoke, so what? Why do people give a s**t what a 16-year-old girl who they’ve never met does? It’s not like I’m sitting there going, ‘Kids, you should go buy a pack of cigarettes.’ When I walk outside with a cigarette and someone takes a picture of it and puts it on the Internet, its not my problem. I’m just living my life and I’m not gonna live my life for other people.”
