Doesn’t Mind Working 24 Hour Days

Taylor Momsen is a workaholic. The singer / actress doesn’t mind putting in long hours on the set and loves constantly improving her career.

“My best friends come on tour with me, I’m so close with my band so that’s fantastic. It’s the best job, you get to be with who you love and be with your friends all the time. There’s no complaints. I’m working 24 hours a day and that’s probably the one thing people don’t know about me, that I’m a workaholic and I can’t stop. But I love what I do so it’s always fun.”

I forgot how much energy a 17-year-old has. If only we could bottle that up!!

Taylor Momsen also told BANG Showbiz that she doesn’t consider herself a role model. We’ve heard that one before:

“I don’t want to consider myself to be a role model, that’s too much pressure for anyone to take on. I didn’t get into this industry to become a role model.
“I got into it very young and because I love music I still have that drive. I’m not happy if I’m not making music, it’s a simple as that. It’s a need. So if I inspire people who need to do what I do and want to have the same drive to work really hard then that’s great but don’t try to be me, be yourself. That’s the only foundation in this industry because it’s so critical and difficult.”

The Pretty Reckless album, ‘Light Me Up’, will release this Monday.

Taylor Momsen: It's Okay Mom and Dad!

Taylor Momsen: It's Okay Mom and Dad!

It wasn't long ago that Taylor Momsen blamed her "damaged" and abrasive attitude on her parents, who forced her into modeling and acting so early.

Now she appears to be backing off that sentiment.

The Gossip Girl star tells Kerrang! magazine (UK) that her comments were taken out of context when she said her folks made her "miserable" and "upset."

"No two year old wants to be working, but I had no choice," Taylor said. "My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn't have friends. I didn't have a real life."

In a rare moment of softness, Taylor Momsen now lets her parents off the hook, revealing she didn't really mean to slam mom and dad, who felt "horrible" about all this.

"I love my mom and dad. Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages, I was still a child," she says now.

"Maybe it wasn't a conventional one, but you know, I like where I am now so it's OK."
We like where she is too. Now if she would just smile once in awhile ...

Taylor Momsen Says She’s “A Product”

 

 Taylor Momsen Says She’s “A Product”

You always wonder if the younger celebrities get what the industry is all about, or if they only care about the limelight. At 17, Taylor Momsen says she understands that at the end of the day, she’s a product that needs to be sold.

“I kind of woke up one morning and was like, ‘Oh I see what’s happening, I get everything.’ “I woke up and was like, ‘I get it, I’m a product.’ “

The Pretty Reckless singer – who started acting on ‘Gossip Girl’ when she was 14 – wasn’t prepared for fame.

“Fame just kind of happens overnight. No one prepares you for it. On ‘Gossip Girl’, I was just going to work, doing what I’ve always done, and then all of a sudden you’re like, ‘Woah!’ “But you get used to it. You ignore it – because whatever people say about me doesn’t bother me at all. If you’re in high school or college or at work, someone’s not going to like you. It’s inevitable. But it doesn’t mean anything.”

Most celebrities say that they aren’t affected by the negativity, but how can you NOT be?
