Katie Holmes reveals what money and fame mean to her
Tuesday, 26 February 2008
Katie Holmes answers some tough questions in an interview with the Daily Mail.
The actress was asked whether she would rather than be rich and famous or poor and anonymous.
She told The Daily Mail: "I don't think anyone really believes they are going to grow up and become rich and famous. I certainly didn't.
"It's never been about fame or wealth for me. I've always been a hard worker. I had my own grass-cutting service when I was young.
"I convinced my mum to drag me and the lawnmower around and cut her friends' lawns. I don't think I'd ever be poor because of the strong worth ethic my parents instilled in me.
The Daily Mail also asked Katie when she realised she was famous for the first time.
Katie told The Daily Mail: "I landed the part in Dawson's Creek when I was 18. I had just graduated from high school and I was soon earning a lot of money.
"I did what every other 18-year-old girl from my town would do, which was I bought a pair of jeans and a great sweater which wasn't on sale.
"I thought: "Wow. I better not buy anything for a really long time. I don't want to let it go to my head."
"I was beginning to get recognised on the street and it was at that time I realised my life had changed. I still have the sweater."
