Kristin Kreuk

January 15, 2004: Kristin Kreuk Talks About Being Famous

The Vancouver Sun conducted an interview with Kristin Kreuk (who plays Lana Lang on "Smallville") in which she spoke about what it's like to be an actor on a show that has become so popular. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    "You have to keep grounded, and I think the fact that I'm in Vancouver makes a huge difference. And I have great friends and a great family. And I'm not surrounded by the business. That makes all the difference in the world, 'cause it's so easy to get caught up in it. If you were living in L.A., it'd be like 'Bull----, bull----, bull---- ... you're this, you're that, you're wonderful, get caught up in this tornado, get caught up, get caught up, get caught up," she chimes. "And the minute it's all gone, you fall and you've got no one to catch you because you let yourself get swept away, when it's all 'Pouff!' " she throws up her hands, "and it's all made up and none of it's grounded or real."

    Even in her short time in showbiz, Kreuk has seen the dark side of it.

    "Kind of sad, in this business, when you think you have to not trust anybody. You go into it, you meet people, and you can't trust them until they prove themselves to you.

    "And as long as you accept that ... The minute you're not hot anymore, people are just going to go, 'Okay, bye!', and if you're not ready for that, then you're going to get hurt and screwed up."
