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.
Hollywood wants press, any kind of press.
I'm not that bothered about press nights as an actor or, particularly, by what people say about me, because I see myself as a reasonably small cog.
You always get told how important the premiere and doing the press is, but I have suspicions.
