She’s gorgeous, talented and has the world at her fingertips, yet in the new issue of Parade, Jessica Alba reveals that she often wishes she could disappear.
I prefer to be a little more anonymous, under the radar, she said. I like to be able to slide in and out of situations unnoticed.
Yeah, so she chose to be an actress. Makes perfect sense to me.
On always wanting to be an actress:
I had a lot of tenacity from a very young age. I was pretty clear on what I wanted to do with my life I wanted to act. My dad was like, When are you going to go to regular school? When are you going to get a job? It wasnt until my dad visited the set [of her television series Dark Angel] and saw how hard I worked that he understood.
Yep, it’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it, right?
On the paparazzi:
I could give two sh-ts about them. Theyre so lame, I cant even believe thats a real job. I cant imagine they even pay taxes.
Pot meet Kettle.
On being a sex symbol:
I dont really pay attention to all that. Its only when people start to treat me like one that it really freaks me out. Most days I wake up and look in the mirror and go, ugh. I dont really think I look all that great.
Yes, you poor, pathetic, homely creature.
On being a celebrity:
I never want to be in the papers except when Im promoting a movie, but if they have to, theyll make up lies about me just to have something newsworthy to say. The more controversial the story is, the more buzz it can get, and the more itll sell.
Would you like some cheese with that whine?
On the future:
This year, for once in my life, I hope Ill have the power to start doing what I really want to do. Maybe people will kind of see me for who I am instead of just basing their opinion on some paparazzis pictures of me taken on the beach.
Oh PULEEZ! Gimme a freakin break. Okay, maybe it’s PMS, or lack of sleep, or whatever, but I just find this interview very annoying at the moment.
