Look what you've done, Internet: In a new interview with Australia's news.com.auto promote R.I.P.D., Weeds star Mary-Louise Parker announced that she is going to quit acting because, in her opinion, the world and the Internet have gotten too "mean" and "bitchy" for her liking. She explains:
None
Damnit, everyone! This is why we can't have nice things!
Parker goes on to explain that her decision is mostly prompted by a desire to keep her two kids away from such "hatred," and that instead of acting, she'd be happier to just keep writing and living her life low-key. "I would write, still," she explained. "I write for Esquire (magazine) and writing makes me happy. I would take care of my kids and my goats. That's about it. Bake. Throw my internet in the lake."
She adds that she tries to stay away from drama online, but there's more hate around than there is praise for those in the public eye. "There's way more mean-spiritedness. I stay away from it as best I can because I'm too thin-skinned, but still it finds you," she said.
As for when she plans on quitting, Parker commented that she's not completely sure when, because her discontent with the profession just began recently. "There's another play I wanna do after (The Snow Geese) and I wouldn't mind doing a couple more years of a TV show, but after that not much more."
Internet, you've failed.
