Mischa Barton 'proud' of her body

Mischa Barton has insisted that she is happy with her body.

The actress added that the media will always criticise her physique, Contactmusic reports.

"I'm proud of my body," she said. "It's either you're too fat or you're too skinny - you can't win, so who cares? I eat healthily and sometimes I pig out, but I exercise regularly.

"I'm into Pilates and I'm always out with my dogs, so I just burn it all off. I'll hike around the canyons, then really step up my cardio. I'll run for hours."

Barton also claimed that she tries not to let her fame go to her head.

"I haven't changed much about my life since I became famous," she said. "I still take the subway and do my own laundry. I'm not a bitch. I clean my own crap and I enjoy having a normal life."
