"I don't really like to go out to clubs or anything. It's just not my style. I'd much rather go to a dive bar or a local place"
About this Quote
The subtext is celebrity self-management. As an actress whose public persona leans approachable and comedic, Faris gains cultural credibility by aligning with spaces that signal authenticity and low stakes. “Dive bar” is doing a lot of work here: it’s shorthand for unpretentious, messy-in-a-human-way, a place where the lighting doesn’t flatter and that’s the point. “Local place” doubles down on community over scene. It’s the language of someone trying to be recognized for being normal while inevitably being recognized for not being normal.
Context matters: this is post-2000s celebrity culture, when the club was a paparazzi pipeline and the “caught out” photo could become a brand. Faris frames her choice as taste, but it’s also control. A dive bar is a kind of camouflage - less theater, fewer expectations, more room to be a person instead of an event.
