In part 1,342 of Gwyneth's campaign to prove she's not as pretentious as her reputation might indicate, she blabbed to Elle UK about how she likes to smoke, drink and even insinuated that she likes pop the occasional pill every now and then.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the Interview:

    “F*ck the haters! I saw this blog of people writing horrible things about me and for a second your ego is so wounded."


    The biggest misconception about her is “that I'm a goody two-shoes. I'm not. And that I'm a strict macrobiotic. I'm probably less square than people think.”


    “Man, I wish smoking didn't kill you. I'd be smoking right now."


    “I never get drunk to the point of throwing up or anything, but I get very warm and talkative.”


    On friend Courtney Love: "I don't think she's on Class A narcotics anymore. Maybe just Class C. That's no big deal - aren't we all, ha, ha, ha!" (Class C is categorized in Britain as Tranquilizers, some painkillers, Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and Ketamine)


    “How could people hate me, my intentions or what I’m trying to do? I’m a good person and I’m trying to put good things into the world.”


Honestly, if you have to constantly tell people how down-to-earth and interesting you are, doesn't that mean you really aren't?
