In this day and age, the media has this 24-hour news cycle that they need to fulfill their obligation to. And it seems like celebrities are a huge part of that, so it just seems unavoidable.

SO IS IT TRUE THAT YOU GIVE YOUR BROTHER, HUNTER, ADVICE ON DATING?

When I’m challenged and when I feel like I want to get to the bottom of something, when I’m engaged, that makes me happy. Being engaged in something or bettering myself in some way.
