Gwyneth Paltrow, asked what she’d do if her daughter, Apple, said she wanted to be an actress:

“I’d probably do what my mother did with me, which is support whatever she wanted to do. But first I’d say, ‘oh no, you’re too smart for that! Be an anthropologist or something.'”

It’s so weird, but this is EXACTLY what my mom said to me when Hollywood beckoned. My agent was inconsolable.
