Don’t be so dismissive, this could be the beginning of wisdom. And as Fozzy says, she really hasn’t lived what one would consider a “normal” life, given that she started modelling and doing commercials (70) when she was 3.

She just needs to understand that poor is relative.

I’m an Insurance adjuster. I work the tornadoes, and hurricanes. They tend to occur in rural America. So I have seen the country.
I grew up in LA, so I have seen the big city.
What this poor woman is suffering from is information withdrawal. Being bombarded with lights, people, city noise, traffic, sycophants, and hangers on this woman cannot bear to look at stuff that has no concrete, neon, or sodium halide glow. The shock of seeing trees that have the gall to grow where they please, or a reasonably flat patch of ground that curiously has no building on it has left her bereft of familiar input, and suspicious of the difference.
This is a classic case of people unable to bear silence.
She is probably never alone except for in the bathroom.
Nature has a way of making us feel insignificant (tip: we are) and movie stars avoid this feeling like pernicious anemia.

I just went to Kirsten Dunsts’ IMDB page, and gotta jump to her defence here. She’s been working since the age of seven. She’s never seen real life or associated with normal people.

How could she possibly know about such things? It’s not like she’s ever had to play a common person or anything. She just kind of missed the big part of the US.

I read about her comments too. She’s right about one thing: we all basically live simple lives here in the real world.
