Maggie Gyllenhaal has vowed never to read articles printed about her - in a bid to protect herself from harsh media criticism.

The actress hates being followed by the paparazzi on a daily basis because seeing pictures of herself forces her to obsess over her image.

She says, "The amount of scrutiny can be unbearable. It's sometimes really hurtful. I've decided, in order to protect myself, that I'm not going to look at any pictures (of myself) or to pay attention to anything anyone says about me."
