"Everyone for the most part is really nice. There have always been jokes, but that's part of being in the spotlight. You can't make everyone completely happy"
About this Quote
Then comes the pressure valve: "There have always been jokes". Not "cruelty", not "harassment" - jokes. It's a soft word for a sharp reality, the classic celebrity move of translating public scrutiny into something digestible, even normal. By framing ridicule as an inevitable feature of "being in the spotlight", she subtly shifts the story from victimhood to job description. It's not that it doesn't sting; it's that reacting too loudly risks feeding the machine.
The closing admission - "You can't make everyone completely happy" - lands like a boundary disguised as wisdom. It's both a refusal and a coping mechanism: an acknowledgement that the audience's demands are infinite, contradictory, and often impersonal. Coming from an actress who grew up in a culture that treats young performers like communal property, the subtext is survival. She's not asking for sympathy; she's declaring limits, and doing it in the only tone celebrity culture reliably permits: calm, reasonable, unbothered.
