Daughter of two movie icons, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, Rumer Willis life in the public eye hasn�t been easy but she has learned to deal with it the hard way. Here are some highlights from her Page Six interview.

On being ashamed of her strange name: “My sisters, Scout and Talullah, had cute nicknames. When I was 12 and had crushes on guys, I’d put my first name with their last name, but it never sounded right. Rumer Depp? Nope. In school, kids would sing, ‘Rumer, Rumer with a big hairy tumour’.”

On the media�s relentless criticism of people in the public eye: �It�s shocking how unbelievably mean people are�not just the people who are writing stuff, the people who make comments. For awhile I read that stuff, and it was upsetting, I�d get really down on myself, which is debilitating,� she says. �Now I think, �Do you really have nothing better to do than talk s�t about me?��

On the rumors that she�s gay: �If people call me a lesbian because I have short hair and I wear jeans instead of dresses, then by all means, run with it. I think it�s hilarious. I like guys.�

On avoiding many of the pitfalls that have plagued her peers: �Sure, I have my issues, but I�m not in rehab. I�m not in crazy debt. I like the fact that I didn�t just get my GED, but I graduated from high school. A lot of it has to do with my parents. They have a desire to keep us [kids] grounded and give us a normal upbringing.�

On having a great relationship with the �Punk�d� star she calls stepdad (Ashton Kutcher): �He�s so cool. He definitely is a father-slash-older brother figure, but at the same time I can still go out with him and have an amazing time. We all have so much fun together. I�m so lucky. My dad and Ashton get along�it�s not weird. There�s no jealousy or drama. If we weren�t all entirely morally opposed to doing a reality show, I guarantee it would be the best-selling reality show ever.�
