"Nobody gets paid $20 million a picture just for the talent. You sell a little part of yourself too."

"I think the paparazzi is a necessary evil...and if ya don't like it, and ya don't want to do this, go to Iowa and do some community theatre. It's all about self-promotion and it's not always the fun part of it."
