A Confirmation: You actually don't have to clear up rumors. No one's entitled to that level of access in you life nor do you have to grant it.

When I pretended to be precocious, people started the rumor that I was precocious. When I acted like an idler, rumor had it I was an idler. When I pretended I couldn't write a novel, people said I couldn't write. When I acted like a liar, they called me a liar. When I acted like a rich man, they started the rumor I was rich. When I feigned indifference, they classed me as the indifferent type. But when I inadvertently groaned because I was really in pain, they started the rumor that I was faking suffering. The world is out of joint.

I guess rumors are more exciting than the truth.

I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies which in truth they are.

A rumor that followed me forever was that my family was in the mafia. For years I had to live with it. They'd call me the mafia princess so I rolled with it for the rest of high school. People even joke about it today.

You know I've never actually really believed that death is inevitable. I just think it's a rumor.

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Death is a distant rumor to the young.

A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart Pam Anderson and Matt Damon. That's who I'm dating.
