"I have the best roommates in the world! It creates a fun sense of family... and that's really important to me. Things can get so lonely without it"
About this Quote
The word choice matters: not "friends", not "housemates", but "roommates", a term that pulls intimacy out of romance and puts it into logistics. It suggests an intentional, structured closeness: shared space, shared routines, shared mess. Then she upgrades it to "family" - not necessarily blood, not necessarily traditional - but a felt sense of belonging you can build, not just inherit. That’s a modern celebrity-friendly idea, but also a quietly radical one in a culture that treats independence as moral superiority.
The subtext is a confession smuggled in as gratitude: loneliness is the default setting. "Things can get so lonely without it" lands because it punctures the celebrity myth of constant company. Bell, whose public persona often reads as upbeat and approachable, lets the mask slip just enough to make the cheeriness credible. In the age of curated intimacy - parasocial fandoms, Instagram warmth, group chats replacing neighborhood life - she’s pointing to the old-fashioned fix that still works: proximity, repetition, someone in the next room who notices if you’re not okay.
