Twin Peaks and The Practice actress Lara Flynn Boyle has given her first interview in ages, as she’s set to release her first movie in five years, Death in Texas.

In the interview, she reveals to The Hollywood Reporter what she really thinks of the paparazzi and the tabloids.

“They’re like mosquitoes. The minute you leave your house, it’s like mosquitoes. They’re like, ‘Boyle has left the side entrance. Boyle is now going out the main gate.’ But I chose this profession. I would be a total jerk if I complained about it. If I’m going to take the paycheck, I’m also going to take the bad publicity. It’s going to happen.”

That said, she is somewhat clueless of what is going on in the world, as she doesn’t have a computer.

“Could not tell you how to Google. Couldn’t tell you how to do any of it. Nothing. I have enough wonderful people around me who can point me where to go and tell me if people are saying nasty things or good things. I still have an old phone, not the one that can look up where you are or where you’re going. I don’t do any of that — nothing. No thank you!”

“Ignorance is bliss. I’m smart enough, I don’t need that. I can watch the news and I love a newspaper…”
