Ellen Page talks about Kristen
Listen to the interview here.
Interviewer: Actresses your age these days, they all seem to be in the tabloids. They're out doing all sorts of stuff that's always constantly in the news. You are in the news when you have time to talk about a film. Is that one of the reasons why you like to stay away from Hollywood? So you don't get sucked into that kind of vortex?
Ellen Page: Yeah, I mean, I don't think I would. Just because it's not particularly where my interests lie. No judgment towards it. You know, a lot of people, kids in their 20s, like to party. The difference when you're an actor is that your face IS splattered everywhere, and everyone judges you for it. There's really no compassion being offered to these young women. There's no questioning it. There's no "oh why is this happening?" It's just, let's judge the bejeesus out of them. And I feel bad. A lot of them are hyper-sexualized at a really young age and I have a lot of compassion for them. But I mean, there's a lot of actresses that, you know...you have Evan Rachel Wood, Kristen Stewart, Jena Malone...they're just making good films and making good choices.
Interviewer: Yeah, those are 3 of my favorite actresses too.
Ellen Page: They're fantastic!
Interviewer: I really like them a lot. They make some really good choices.
Ellen Page: Really good choices and really talented. Unfortunately, I don't know any of them.
Interviewer: Oh, I have a feeling you'll bump into them someday. I mean, they seem to be doing the same kind of movies that you like to do.
Ellen Page: Well, I love seeing their work, so I'm so happy for them.
