Gwyneth Paltrow: `People think I`m a f**king annoying person on the soapbox`

But the 38-year-old actress and mother-of-two said that is never her intention, and that she is just trying to live her life in the best way possible.

She told Pop Eater, 'I think people mistake me trying to be the best version of myself for me telling them you're not, or they just think well, what does that make me then, you annoying f**king person on the soapbox.

'But I can't please everybody all I can do is focus on the people who seem to appreciate what I do and put into the world.

'I'll just do what I'm doing because, especially now, we live in a world now where everybody is able to express their opinion.'

She added that others also dislike her because she 'works her ass off' to be happy.

'I think my work ethic is the reason why I'm successful. I think that a lot of people don't want to put in effort and it's easier to not change, not do something good for you, not work on your relationship, not make yourself a meal, not work out. [They're just] pissed off at someone else doing that.

'Everything in my life that's good is because I worked my ass off to get it and to maintain it.'
