"Our friends have nothing to do with the business. Some of our closest friends in Florida are not stars"
About this Quote
The second sentence does the real work. Florida isn’t just a location; it’s an alternate universe from Los Angeles, a place coded as normal, domestic, uncurated. By stressing that “closest friends” are “not stars,” Preston rejects the idea that fame is a social class you must marry into (even when, literally, you do). It’s also a subtle flex: she can access star circles, but chooses not to let them define her. The subtext is: we’re not collecting famous friends like accessories, and we’re not available for the networking ritual disguised as friendship.
There’s a faint defensive note too, suggesting she’s responding to an assumption - that celebrity friendships are transactional, that everyone in her orbit is part of the machine. She counters with the most relatable credential there is: people who don’t care about your IMDb page. In an industry built on visibility, insisting on invisibility as a friendship standard is its own kind of power.
