Quote Me of the Day: Brad Pitt

On whether he's Googled himself before,

"Dear God. No. Never. First of all, I don't really know how to operate a computer."

On what it's like to be a celebrity today,

"This publicity machine is out of control. It's everything we didn't sign up for. There's this whole other entity that you get sucked into. You have to go and sell your wares. It's something I never made my peace with. Somehow you're not supporting your film if you don't get out on a show and talk about your personal life. It has nothing to do with why I do this. I feel for the people who are just getting into the business, it sets the wrong focus."

I know for sure I would Google myself on a very frequent basis if I were famous. And get this, Ryan Seacrest did an interview at my former publication where his assistant said that Ryan Seacrest requests that he receives copies of ALL mentions of himself in the press. I felt so bad for him. People hate that man, he's just torturing himself.

Other secret: Ryan didn't like the article so he fired his assistant after we published it... I guess Ryan is no Brad Pitt and I know I would Google myself too. It would be so hard not to. Props to anyone who can resist the urge.
