Gwyneth Paltrow regularly attracts a lot of attention and criticism for her ‘pretentious’ sayings – in fact, she’s even been voted the most hated celebrity because of her apparent holier-than-thou attitude. While she always insists she’s just a normal, working mother like the millions of others out there, she can’t help but spout things that the rest of us ridicule – her ‘conscious uncoupling’ post, for example. Here are 13 of the craziest things Gwyneth Paltrow has said.
-
‘I am who I am. I can’t pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.’
2. ‘You come across [online comments] about yourself and about your friends, and it’s a very dehumanizing thing…It’s almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanizing thing… My hope is, as we get out of it, we’ll reach the next level of conscience.’
3. ‘I’d rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a tin.’
4. ‘My daughter gravitates toward fresh fruit and raw nuts but will inhale a bag of hot Cheetos at the airport. It’s all about balance.’
5. ‘I’m just a normal mother with the same struggles as any other mother who’s trying to do everything at once and trying to be a wife and maintain a relationship. There’s absolutely nothing perfect about my life, but I just try hard.’
6. ‘[Moses] is obsessed with hip-hop and wanted a gold chain like his uncle Jay-Z.’
7. ‘I had my first bowl of gazpacho when I was fifteen in Spain, and the impression it made was a lasting one.’
8. ‘I think that women, especially women in my job, come to me because they know I’m very loving and nonjudgmental and I’m not competitive, and I’ve been through a lot.’
9. ‘During the strict macrobiotic chapter of my life, I ate miso soup every day for breakfast and sometimes with dinner as well.’
10. ‘I’ve lived in England for 10 years and the accent is the most beautiful in the world, except for how you pronounce ‘pasta’ as ‘pasta’ instead of ‘pah-sta.’ I’m sort of joking when I say this but I really don’t want my children speaking that way.’
11. ‘I just look for interesting supporting—biggish supporting parts, and try to do one a year, and that’s my limit. Some women can do it and that’s fantastic, but I can’t. You make choices as a wife and mother, don’t you? You can’t have it all. I don’t care what it looks like.’
12. ‘I would rather die than let my kid eat Cup-a-Soup.’
13. ‘When I pass a flowering zucchini plant in a garden, my heart skips a beat.’
