    > “They’re not, like, locked in a dungeon. They do, you know, come to set, we go places, we do things. We do feel like we want to give them agency to engage in a public life in the way they want to, because this is what we do. We’ve chosen to be athletes and artists, and that’s our choice.

  2. I respect this more when celebrities commit to it. You can tell she means this because she doesn’t really talk about her kids. 

    Then you have those celebrities who parrot on and on about their kids being kept private and paparazzi shouldn’t be allowed to take pictures of them [which is a valid point] but then publicly share so much information about them, sometimes embarrassing anecdotes that you think what’s the point. Either commit to it fully or be quiet.
