Next year Quote by Renee Zellweger
“I'm really not considering anything until probably this time next year. If there's nothing for them to talk about, you figure... 'll make myself as boring as possible...What is going on with the media? It's crazy. It used to be that you were famous because you achieved something that was considered to be beyond human capability...The message that it sends is that society doesn't value what you have to contribute, but it values whether or not you're recognizable, for any reason. I think that just leads to something that is so ugly.”
