"I don't think the tabloids find me very interesting"
About this Quote
Close’s career has been built on intensity without spillage. She plays volatility onscreen, then denies it the cheap sequel offscreen. The subtext is almost generational: a performer forged in an era when mystique was an asset, not a branding failure. In a culture that rewards personal narrative as content, her refusal to manufacture drama reads as both out of step and quietly defiant.
There’s also a sly critique of the media economy. Tabloids don’t “find” people interesting; they select for what can be packaged quickly: divorce, rehab, feuds, a quote ripped from context. Close implies she isn’t legible in that format, which is less self-deprecation than indictment. The line positions her as someone with a full interior life who doesn’t outsource it for attention.
That’s why it works: it’s an actress asserting authorship over her public character, reminding us that fame is negotiable and privacy can be a deliberate performance choice.
