Kellyanne Conway, the counselor to President Donald Trump, spoke about her relationship with the media, politics, and her boss in the White House in a new interview published Thursday.

"I am just trying to stand up to the cacophony, sameness, and myopia of the media world," Conway told the Hollywood Reporter.

Should Trump continue his offensive against the media going forward, Conway would serve as "both his general and, likely, his cannon fodder," according to the Reporter.

Conway acknowledged during the interview that she is "the face of Donald Trump's movement," which means that, due to her constant coverage, she is attacked on social media and news platforms.

Conway summarized the names she is called on Twitter as "ugly, stupid, liar, meth queen."

She also spoke about how sometimes she can be on up to six stations before 9:00 in the morning.

"Have I told you how sick I am of me?" Conway asked in a text exchange with the Reporter.

Despite a "recent social media campaign for a news program boycott of her as a guest," Conway did not seem phased.

"I can put my shoes and panty hose back on and go on any show at any time," she told the Reporter.

Conway continued by saying that she "turned down any job with 'communications' in the title."

The president's White House counselor described the thinking behind this professional decision as wanting to stay on the inside, "where 95 percent of what I say to him will never be public."

Conway also spoke about miscellaneous subjects, such as the last video to make her laugh and the last thing she Googled.
