On the fashion industry:
Well, it's completely non-sensical. It operates—it's its own monster and there are no laws to it. There's no logic. And that's interesting to me. I couldn't survive in it, I couldn't do it as my job, I couldn't live in it everyday. It would make me crazy. You have so many brilliant people who are artistically gifted operating on these high levels of adrenaline everyday. I like to admire it from afar.
On the two types of people who struggle in Hollywood:
One type is the type that's incredibly gifted and on a level where they're operating as geniuses artistically, and there's a line between artistic genius and crazy and its very razor thin. And you have those people who get very confused living in Hollywood for many years, it fucks with you. And then you have a totally different kind of person who gets sucked into it and manipulated by it and bulldozed by it. I feel like I've always been able to be really objective. I've always been on the outside, even of myself. So that allows me to not get too affected by it. It hasn't destroyed my life yet.
On donating to charity:
I work privately with some charities but I am not ready to come out and say, hey guys, I do charity, look at me. I just feel like its no longer charity if my image is somehow benefiting from it—I feel like I'm exploiting these people. I know that the argument is that you're supposed to use your celebrity to encourage others to do good, and I get that. But I think there will be a time and a place for that and right now I'd rather keep it private.
On managing her low self-esteem and "self-loathing":
I choose very private moments to let it out. I've grown up with it, so its not like all of a sudden I'm suffering from depression or something that is unfamiliar to me. I've had it my whole life. It just is a part of my personality. I don't ever do anything and go, "That was awesome. You did a good job." I look at photos of myself and think, "Wow, I looked really gorgeous that night!" Or, "This working out is really paying off!" I never, ever, ever think that. There's a million and one things that I've fallen short on all of the time in my mind. And you can't—there's not really a way to manage that, unless you want to go on meds, which I don't need to do. I just drink a lot of green tea and meditate at night.

i agree with all of what megan said, very wise words…

Life is 3 days. 1 to meet you, the 2nd to love you, the 3rd to die. 1 month to involve, 1 year to suffer, more than a life to forget you…

I read just the one about charity. And I dont agree with her, if you give 1 million dolar to a charity work then that company will be better for even years. But if you give money and explain the situation to people, then you may really change something. Hope I could explain myself.
But then again she says ''I know that the argument is that you're supposed to use your celebrity to encourage others to do good, and I get that. But I think there will be a time and a place for that and right now I'd rather keep it private.'' So she gets it too.
If she even gives money to them, I dont think this really is from her heart. Because you have to feel, understand people's pains to have a REAL feeling of helping . It's true for everyone, not just Megan. Yeah, we watch people, we hear news about them. But if we dont see them, I dont think we really feel and understand their feelings though we kinda understand.
It's normal to say ''I am giving money to charity works (privately)'' if I even dont give money. Just imagine, a reporter ask you about charity and you say'' No, I didnt give money and I am never gonna, I love my money haha''. No one would say it.
So we never know it. We 'll see the situation about her charity work.

I have to agree with that point. There's no way to prove that people have given money for charity if they do it as anonymous as well as there's no way to prove the founds are actually used for charity.

Ozey, charity is not always monetary. For example, Angelina did charity in Haiti by travelling to the country (That kind of charity has more importance to me than giving money)
Megan has actually used her celebrity to do charity, when she was a bartender at Sonny McLean's Iris pub in Santa Monica (The same kind of charity)

That was What I mean. It's not all about monetary. If you tell the situation, this would be better. That's What Angelina does.
I didn know Megan used her celebrity to do charity, that's a nice thing!
