Some people would say that Hollywood is a shallow place, and a lost cause for societal development. Amazingly enough, behind the facade that is fame, some of the celebrities living in the spotlight have it 100 percent right. Here’s a few quotes proving my point.
-Ashton Kutcher
Kutcher is a role model in my opinion. He is a great actor who convinces his audience with every performance he takes on, serious or not so serious. He also has a lot to say and great advice to give to people who will listen to him, just see for yourself.
“The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap, I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less, so don’t buy it. Be smart, be thoughtful, and be generous.”
“When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way that it is, and that your life is to live your life inside the world and try not to get in too much trouble, and maybe get an education and get a job and make some money and have a family, but life can be a lot broader than that when you realize one simple thing, and that is that everything around us that we call life was made up by people who are no smarter than you, and you can build your own things, you can build your own life that other people can live in. So build a life. Don’t live one, build one. Find your opportunities, and always be sexy.”
-Lily Allen
Just listen to her new song “Hard out Here” to hear all she has to say about her opinions on sexism, but here are a few excerpts.
“There’s a glass ceiling to break, I heard there’s money to make, and now it’s time to speed it up ‘cause I can’t move at this pace.”
“If I told you ‘bout my sex life, you’d call me a slut, but when boys be talking ‘bout their b*tches no one’s making a fuss.”
-Demi Lovato
Former Disney star, and chart topping singer, Lavato has been through a lot. After suffering with depression and finding refuge after rehab, she has a bigger and better outlook on life
“Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That’s my life motto.”
“No matter what you’re going through, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you’ll find the positive side of things.”
To be blunt, sometimes media only focuses on the negative in our pop culture. But when you dig a little deeper you can discover that underneath all the scandals and gossiping there are some celebrities who do in fact have their heads screwed on strait. This information is rather refreshing and is like a breath of fresh air for the public.
