We're not really sure what Taylor Momsen is talking about here, or what her grander point is, but the Gossip Girl star and rocker recently had a realization.

"As you get older you get more insight on everything. I kind of woke up one morning and was like 'Oh I see what's happening, I get everything,'" she said.

"I woke up and was like, 'I get it, I'm a product.'"

"Fame just kind of happens overnight. No one can prepare you for it at all. On Gossip Girl, I was just going to work, doing what I've always done."

"Then all of a sudden you're like, 'Woah!' But you get used to it. You ignore it. Because whatever people say about me doesn't bother me at all."

"It doesn't matter if you're in high school or college or at work, someone's not going to like you. It's inevitable. But it doesn't mean anything."
