AceShowbiz - "Gossip Girl" actress Taylor Momsen, who has just turned 16 years old on Sunday, July 26, has admitted that she could never date someone her own age. In an interview with Teen Vogue for its September issue, she opens up, "I've had lots of relationships. My parents know that I'm not going to date someone who's sixteen. Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is; there's just no way - I would eat a boy my age alive."
"I live a very adult life," she goes on telling the magazine, before then explaining, "I have two different careers; I'm on tour. What am I going to do, hang out with the high school kids? I just can't relate to what they talk about - it seems so petty." Asked if her parents feel comfortable with her maturity, Taylor replies, "They have to be; it's not going anywhere. But I'm responsible. I'm not one of those crazy teens. They trust me."
In further interview with Teen Vogue, Taylor also addresses the talks surrounding her new look which the magazine describes as "very rock 'n' roll". "I had long, pretty hair, and it didn't fit me. I'm pretty, but I'm not, like, a 'pretty girl.' So I pulled up a bunch of photos of Joan Jett and said, 'Do that to my hair.' There was a distinct change in my wardrobe, too, and I know people were a little, um, taken aback. But it wasn't me that changed - it was just that I decided to start being myself. Now I do my own makeup, my own hair, and dress myself, and it feels better," she tells the publication which September issue will be hitting the newsstands next Tuesday, August 4.
