Mischa Barton says she makes a deliberate effort not to be seen out and about in 'Tinseltown' because she doesn't want to be known as a party girl.
"I recommend taking Hollywood with a pinch of salt. I get to meet and work with a lot of interesting people and have opportunities to do quality work. I try to avoid getting too embedded in the 'Hollywood' lifestyle, I love to travel and I have my family and my life outside of work. Although Hollywood mainly offers me access to the industry, I also love the beach, boogie boarding and the weather".
Mischa added that she would never date an actor and prefers men that are not involved in the movie industry. "I would rather date outside of the industry. I think actors are a special breed, it takes a specific personality to be an actor and there needs to be some kind of balance".
She is currently dating the 'Rooney' guitarist Taylor Locke.
