Sienna Miller ‘never desperate to be famous’

NEW YORK - Her on-off relationship with Jude Law made her an overnight celebrity, but Sienna Miller says that wasn’t her goal.

“I was just never desperate to be famous, which I know sounds cliched and probably like a lie, but it is, in my case, very true,” the 24-year-old actress says in the January issue of W magazine.

“And that’s the irony of my situation. “It was always about acting, and now it’s all about everything but that. I fell in love with someone very, very famous, and that’s beyond all of our control. Strategically I probably could have analyzed it at the time and thought, ‘This could potentially be very damaging,’ but that was a very beautiful period of my life.”

Miller, a fashion icon and Hollywood It Girl, reportedly broke off her engagement to Law last year after he publicly apologized for cheating on her following reports that he had a fling with the nanny of his three children from his marriage to fashion designer-actress Sadie Frost. She says the 33-year-old actor remains “a very close person in my life.”

“It just becomes this soap opera,” she says, recalling the media attention. “And I guess I had a pretty good few episodes.” Miller stars as Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick in the upcoming movie “Factory Girl.” “I know that I have a lot to prove to a certain degree, but it’s fine,” says Miller, whose screen credits include roles in “Layer Cake,” “Alfie,” which starred Law, and “Casanova,” opposite Heath Ledger.

Though she’s been tagged as a party girl by the tabloids, Miller says socializing over alcohol was how she was raised. “I was brought up in a culture where, when you’re 12 years old, you’re given a glass of wine at dinner

A famous chick wouldn't be giving interviews to something called "W" magazine now, would she? :O)

And something tells me that the February issue of "W" won't be any better.
