Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl doesn't want to be a role model



Taylor Momsen, who is only 16, says she "[is] not some cute girl that's been stamped out of a Disney studio and [she's] proud of that." When asked about the negative comments regarding her being a bad role model, here's what she had to say:

"I've had lots of people say I'm disgraceful because I should act like a role model for young kids but I'm not a role model. I'm an actress, I'm a singer, and I don't want to be a role model. I didn't get into this to be a role model for 7-year-olds. I have no interest in doing that, you know? If parents don't like some of the stuff I do then they shouldn't let their kids watch me. If you like me that's fantastic, but if you don't, stop giving me a hard time."



When asked about pictures of her smoking at such a young age, and her "attitude", this is what she responded with:

"I don't read that crap that describes me as having an attitude, but I don't know why that's a bad thing. I smoke, so what? Why do people give a s— what a 16-year-old girl who they've never met does? It's not like I'm sitting there going, 'Kids, you should go buy a pack of cigarettes.' When I walk outside with a cigarette and someone takes a picture of it and puts it on the Internet, its not my problem. I'm just living my life and I'm not gonna live my life for other people."

We get it, Little-J. You've gotten your high school diploma 2 years in advance and now you're an "adult" and "mature". Wow, kids grow fast these days, don't they?
