Gwyneth Paltrow claims she would never make anti-American comments. The actress, says she is “deeply upset” by the remarks accredited to her this week and claims she was misquoted.

Paltrow who splits her time between London and New York with her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was quoted as saying: “The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans.”

Gwyneth told People magazine:

“First of all I feel so lucky to be American. When you look at the rest of the world, we’re so lucky. I feel so proud to be American. I felt so upset to be completely misconstrued and I never, ever would have said that. I definitely did not say that I think the British are more intelligent and civilized than Americans. I am a New York girl. I live in England half the time because I’m married to an English guy. It’s not like I’ve left America. I said that Europe is a much older culture and there’s a difference. I always say in America, people live to work and in Europe, people work to live. There are positives in both.”

In January 2006, the actress said: “I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don’t talk about work and money - they talk about interesting things at dinner parties. Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it.”

Gwyneth Paltrow needs to get her words striaght! One minute shes saying she likes England better then the American, then when someone calls her on it, then shes scrambling for words to defend the country. If we pay you the BIG bucks to be in decent movies and call yourself a celebrity, then say nice words about us, meaning america. Or stop taking jobs in the US and see how much your salary will decrease!
