Oscar-winning US actress Gwyneth Paltrow feels dinner talk is far more interesting in her adopted homeland Britain than back in her native country. "I love the English lifestyle, it's not as capitalistic as America. Yasss. Once you've got it, you don't have to worry about it, so why do the little people insist on continuing to talk about it?
"People don't talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner," she told "NS," the weekend magazine supplement of daily Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias on Saturday.
Interesting things like Gwyneth Paltrow, I'm guessing...
"I like living here because I don't fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans," the 34-year-old added.

Chris Martin whom she wed in 2003. Of course, she could fall into the upper reaches of the bell curve. That's not what I'd really expect, though, she being married to a latter day Nigel Tufnel and all. I'm guessing her dinner conversation is similar to Britney Spears'.
She said having US pop star Madonna, 48, who married British film director Guy Ritchie six years ago, nearby was another advantage to living in London. "She's like an older sister. Everything I have gone through, she went through ten times worse and ten times longer. She gives me good advice about how to say no and take care of myself," said Paltrow.
Does she slip you the tongue when she kisses you, too?
