"Keeping it all normal and keeping us together is my first priority. Then I fit films into my life"
About this Quote
“Keeping it all normal” is doing double duty. On its face, it’s the language of groundedness, a celebrity’s promise that fame hasn’t corroded the basics. Underneath, “normal” is a protective spell against the industry’s chaos: travel, long shoots, tabloid scrutiny, the constant pressure to be “on.” It suggests that normalcy isn’t natural; it’s maintained, defended. And “keeping us together” is even more pointed. It implies that togetherness is fragile in a career built on absence, and that intimacy requires logistics, not just intention.
The last line, “Then I fit films into my life,” is the real flex. She’s not rejecting work; she’s demoting it. The subtext is autonomy: I choose projects that can live around my family, not a family that must contort around the next role. Coming from an actress whose public identity was intertwined with a high-profile marriage and the machinery of celebrity, it reads like boundary-setting as self-preservation - and as quiet resistance to an industry that rewards the opposite.
