Ashley Judd: 'Is there an elephant in the room?'


Judd: 'Is there an elephant in the room?'


(CNN) - Ashley Judd was fully aware she was under the Washington media spotlight Friday when she spoke about public health issues at George Washington University.

"I'm a lot more nervous than y'all are, I promise," she told a group of students who were asking questions at the event. "There are people here who don't give a rat's-you-know-what about public health."

It wasn't the first time Judd looked over at the reporters in the room. Earlier in her remarks, Judd talked about how she learned to train herself to bring her "anxiety down" at certain points in her life.

Then, turning to the press, she joked: "You people have that effect on us. You do. You do," she said, drawing laughs from the crowd.
