"People seem to get weirdly obsessed with my mouth"
About this Quote
The intent feels twofold: to puncture the myth that celebrity attention is always welcome, and to reclaim a sliver of authorship over how she’s viewed. By choosing a bodily detail associated with speech, pleasure, and performance, Gershon hints at the trap of being watched: the same mouth that delivers lines, jokes, and seduction on-screen becomes a hook for strangers’ projections off-screen. It’s a comment about the way Hollywood brands women through consumable parts, then asks them to be gracious about the consumption.
Context matters with Gershon, whose career has often intersected with roles that invite erotic scrutiny and tabloid framing. The quote reads like an actor clocking the gap between what she’s actually doing (craft, character, choices) and what the culture insists on seeing (a body part as a headline). The wryness keeps it light; the subtext doesn’t.
