Posted on April 10, 2010
Gwyneth Paltrow covers the May 2010 issue of Harper's Bazaar. In the interview, Gwyneth discusses her publication Goop and why she believes some journalists are terrified by it. She also discusses working out, the paparazzi, her family, her career and fried food. You can see the photoshoot by photographer Alexi Lubomirski here.
On Goop: "There was a brouhaha in the beginning there, which I thought was very interesting, because people don't like you to step outside of your box. Also, journalists are terrified of celebrities having a journalistic voice. You can spend your life worrying about it or you can just do what you're doing. Especially if you're doing something just to be nice, just to share and have fun. I don't have advertisers or anything, and I would never want to."
On Goop's Contents: "The hotel concierge is not telling me where to get a facial, Christy Turlington is. Doesn't everyone want to know that? I would want to know if you went to Mario Batali's house what he made you for dinner and could I have the recipe. So why not?"
On the Paparazzi: "The thing about the paparazzi, I realized, is it's probably made me look like a really grumpy person. Because when you get a magazine and you see someone with a scowl on her face, looking down, you're like, 'God, she looks like a bitch' or 'She looks like an unhappy old lady.' But when you're the person they're taking the picture of, it's like, 'You just followed me and made my kid cry and you're going to make money off it? You want me to look at you and smile? Are you out of your mind?'"
On Fried Food in Nashville: "I was so bad with the food and alcohol in Nashville. If you saw me naked compared to what I looked like when I did Iron Man 2, where I was eating so well and exercising everyday - I'll get it back together, but I just have never eaten so much fried food and white flour in my life, ever. Oh, God"
