Blake Lively trying to avoid all the excessive aspects of the business

Blake Lively insists she will try her best not to go down the same route as Britney Spears.

She says, "I'm trying to avoid all the excessive aspects of this business. So many young actors make mistakes and they do it in front of the cameras.

"I mean Britney was dating a paparazzo! If she wasn't Britney Spears, would he have been with her? That's why it's important to me to surround myself with people I trust."

"I'm still pretty normal," Blake adds. "I don't see myself as a celebrity. I like cooking - I'm a bit of a Nigella Lawson. I don't hang out at nightclubs, although I enjoy going to cool restaurants. But reading in cafes is more my style.

"This is the happiest I've ever been."
