Katie Holmes tries, fails to appear just like us in new interview

Katie Holmes does a terrible job of trying to come off as a relatable New Yorker in her new Ocean Drive magazine profile, and it’s kind of amazing. “I’m a normal person and I do walk around,” she insists. “If you’re having a bad day, you just take a walk, and it’s not only that you see people who are having a worse day than you, it’s just that you’re in life. You suddenly can’t be stuck in whatever problem you’re in because you have to hail a cab or you have to get a subway ticket. There’s more than just you, and I think the harsh winters give you a little bit of character.”

OK, where to begin? How about with the whole making yourself feel better by seeing people worse off than you? That’s bold. Also, subway ticket? Not that I believed she actually took the subway, but still.
