"I have always loved animals since I was very young"
About this Quote
The intent is intimacy. "Always" and "since I was very young" aren’t there to convey new information; they’re there to establish continuity. In a public life built on transformation - styling, branding, reinvention - she reaches for a trait that feels pre-brand, pre-fame, and therefore trustworthy. Loving animals becomes a shorthand for being safe to read as kind. It’s also a subtle refusal of glamor’s usual hierarchies: animals don’t care about status, and affection for them suggests a person capable of attention that isn’t transactional.
The subtext, especially in celebrity culture, is reputation management without the cynicism. Many public figures attach themselves to causes or aesthetics; Joseph chooses an instinct. It’s not "I support animal rights" (a stance), but "I loved" (a story). That shift from politics to memory makes the claim harder to argue with and easier to believe. In its simplicity, the line functions like a small act of self-definition: you can look at me, but I’m not only what you see.
