Actress Sienna Miller has apologized for remarks she made about the city of Pittsburgh in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, which came out today.

She was quoted as calling the city, where she is in town shooting her newest movie, an adaptation of the Michael Chabon novel The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, “Shitsburgh.”

The British actress went on to tell the writer: “Can you believe this is my life? Will you pity me when you’re back in your funky New York apartment and I’m still in Pittsburgh? I need to get more glamorous films.”

Miller said on Friday that her remarks were taken out of context and that she found the city and residents gracious.

What the 24-year-old said made Pittsburgh’s two major daily newspapers and Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said that Miller should see the town. “I think obviously we have a great town, and I disagree with her comments,” Ravenstahl said.

In a statement issued by her publicist, Miller said her comments referred to late-night production calls that made seeing the city difficult.

“What I have seen of it is beautiful. I came once before to visit The Andy Warhol Museum whilst researching a film and found both the city and its inhabitants warm and gracious,” she said.
