Rumer keeps her feet on the ground

She may be friends with a who's who of Hollywood starlets, but Rumer Willis says she has great mentors to thank for keeping herself together. "I see a lot of situations that seems to me to be lacking a self-respect and a self-value where girls get drunk and they just kind of fall over each other," the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore says. "Unfortunately, when you know you're growing up and you are in this business, you don't really have the same ability to make mistakes and have it not be really detrimental. Honestly, it's been kind of making mistakes and figuring them out and having a lot of really great people as my mentors. I learned very quickly what kind of person I didn't want to be." Willis was in a hotel room when police arrested a man on drug charges last month, but says she's learned how to remove herself from bad situations. "It's really easy to say, 'Look people are doing something that I don't like and I don't want to be around. I'm gonna go,'" she said. When asked if she reads online blogs, Willis said, "I try not to. I used to a lot and it was really hurtful... There's obviously a lot of people that want to say that...I have some big trust fund. And it's so easy to judge people and put them down when you're not looking at them in the face."
