You speak to the press at the Tour every day, but most often in a negative sense.

It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed.

Migrants don’t come to the United States because, as Ambassador Aponte argued in her press conference, of ‘lies’ told by smugglers that, once here, you can’t get deported. They come because their countries have been destroyed by U.S. policy.
I never really got any attention until I was on MTV. I became a household name because I was on every day from 3-4 P.M. I wasn’t prepared for it – how mean they can be in the press.

When people heckle me, I have the microphone. And the press has the microphone.
I see the people in the tabloids, the ones that get bad press, who have kind of gone off the edge, and I try to study them so that I don’t do that. It seems like they lost focus at some point – that’s the one thing they all have in common.

I was called fat and ugly in the press almost my entire life. I understand that being judged by others comes with the territory, but it broke my heart and ruined my self-esteem.
England is a fairly envious little country and it’s embodied in the press. They don’t like anyone being more distinguished than they are.
I’m not that great with press sometimes.
My first press tour for ‘Vikings’ was pretty overwhelming. Between all the hotels, TV shows and talking a lot, I would get done and have to sit in silence for a while. It was exhausting, and you really have to focus.
I acknowledge the right of the authorities and the press to satisfy themselves as to whether I am the anthrax mailer. This does not, however, give them the right to smear me and gratuitously make a wasteland of my life in the process. I will not be railroaded.

We’re always looking over our shoulders, ‘what they will think, what the press will think, what will this one – am I making the right career move?’ When you’re young you have to do all that to survive, I suppose.
When I am made fun of in the press I just remember those days when I’d come home to find that the water had been turned off because my mother couldn’t afford the bill. Suddenly, everything feels easier.

It doesn’t really feel like it’s got anything to do with me. I mean, I know I wrote it, and all that and invented the characters and made it up, but it’s Mike’s film, so doing the press and stuff, it feels a little bit inauthentic. I was just one component of it.
