People in the fashion industry have used the press a lot more than people in the film industry, because you have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People say it's really the press who create those soundbites about fashion. That's what sells magazines and clothes.
The fashion world is much more ephemeral than the film industry and moves at a faster pace, and it's got even more frenetic since the Nineties; more paparazzi hanging about and it seems to me there are even more fashion magazines.
A lot of fashion photographers will do the same sort of image for many years; it's easier to be successful if you do that.
I don't pay much attention to the press. My films always get good reviews and bad reviews. I just try to make the best film I can.
Well, I don't think I've ever been a huge target for the press, and I value that to a degree, because there's a certain value for actors staying beneath the radar so they can play characters.
We live in a beauty-obsessed age and success sometimes appears to hinge solely on the presentation of an image that is acceptable to the press.
The fashion industry certainly has its obscene sides. The cost of a coat can be obscene. So can the cost of a photo shoot if you're working with a really good photographer.
I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.
Of course I don't like the fact that my wife goes to the supermarket and there are photographers. But I realise that the press attention is the same wherever you go.
Hollywood wants press, any kind of press.
