Whitney Port: I didn’t want to be famous

Whitney Port says she never wanted to be famous. In an interview with PopEater, the former Hills reality TV star insisted she didn’t intend for a life in the public eye.

“I went to interview to be an intern at Teen Vogue and I found out MTV was going to be filming a show there and they wondered if I’d be interested in doing a casting tape so I kind of went along with it and I never knew it was going to turn into anything like this,” she said.

“I’ve just kind of been riding the wave I guess. It hasn’t ever been like a goal of mine to be famous or to be on TV.

“I definitely had a great platform, they helped me with all the connections, definitely I’m the first one to admit that but I think still even before being on TV, I was working in fashion and worked my way up. Just from my experiences I could kind of see how you could do it without the cameras.”

Whitney insists she’s no diva.

“I know this sounds crazy but when I’m not in the realm of this job, this career, whether its press or filming or interviews I don’t even think of myself in that light and my family would never allow me to either,” she said.

“I feel like I was raised in a really normal, loving family so I don’t get caught up in all that stuff,” she said.
