"I don't really think about anything too much. I live in the present. I move on. I don't think about what happened yesterday. If I think too much, it kind of freaks me out"
About this Quote
The line lands differently because Anderson’s public life has rarely belonged to her. She’s been treated as an image first and a person second, flattened by tabloid economies, leaked tapes, and the culture’s appetite for judging women for the very visibility it demands. In that context, refusing to “think about what happened yesterday” isn’t denial so much as a refusal to keep paying interest on other people’s narratives. The present becomes a tiny reclaiming of authorship: if the past is a courtroom, the present is an exit.
There’s also a distinctly pop-cultural pragmatism here. Anderson isn’t offering a philosophy; she’s giving you the coping mechanism that fits inside a hectic, surveilled life. The sentence “I live in the present” sounds like aspiration, but the subtext is exhaustion: the past is too loud, the future too uncertain, so the only livable space is now.
