Hayden Panettiere Fights For What She Believes In
Hayden Panettiere graces the April cover of Seventeen magazine and talked about her fight against whalers in Japan, her hunt for the perfect guy and why she’s so outspoken. Here’s what the 18 year-old Heroes cheerleader had to say:
On what it was like fighting whalers in Japan:
“It was great! There’s very little that scares me. I’ve always been a physical person. And I feel like a lot of time in this industry, a lot of people loan their face to a cause, which is great, but it doesn’t do
as much as getting out there and actually physically doing something.”
On what she looks for in a guy:
“I have to be with someone who’s driven. When they’re not, it becomes difficult. In a lot of relationships, you get in and you spend every waking moment with that person. But I’ve figured out that the healthiest relationship is where you each have your own life, but they meet in a nice point in the middle.”
On backlashes for being so outspoken:
“Even when I read articles about me - how you read my words is not always the way I said them. But I don’t need to prove myself to anyone. I’m not that kind of person. It hurts my feelings when I feel disliked by people - I’m not a generally dislikable person, you know? I think I’m a pretty decent, nice person.”
