You go through publicists because it's easy for a publicist to say to another publicist, 'No'.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Say something personal, not from a publicist.
Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.
My publicist always said as long as they pronounce your name or spell your name right, it's all good.
I'm not in the business to make people aware of me, and publicists are very expensive - they're $3,500 a month! I don't want to spend that kind of money so I can get a stupid article in 'Interview' magazine.
If you took away publicists and things and people spoke for themselves, then they'd have to be responsible for their words.
I've never seen a publicist that could protect me from things, protect anyone from what's going on out there.
But as I always say to people I'm essentially a public service person.
You don't choose your public; your public chooses you.
I have people introducing themselves to me: 'I am your publicist; what can I do for you?' But I have never learned how to use a publicist.
Well, anything you want to make public is your public business.
