August also accused the actress of setting “dangerous expectations” for aspiring actors in suggesting they should say whatever they want to say. In a recent interview during the promotion of Little Fockers, Alba clarified her remarks and criticized Elle for doing just what August had insinuated. “There was an article written recently where I was completely and totally paraphrased and things were taken out of context and mushed together,” Alba stated. “It was a four-hour interview that got condensed into a page and a half for a fashion magazine … Basically I was [really] saying that I didn’t have the courage and didn’t really understand how to bring my own thing to the table and I would never veer away from the script, ever, no matter what. Even when actors would go off book, I didn’t know what to say.” So it appears Elle has the major issue, not Alba. Its not the first time a magazine has misquoted to gain attention.
