Pleasure resorts are like film stars and royalty... embarrassed by the figures they cut in the fantasies of people who have never met them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's not a pleasure torturing actors, although some of them enjoy it.
As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.
You may not know it but I'm no good at coping with all the attention in the luxury hotels I sometimes find myself in.
It takes a very strange person to enjoy fame, with all the by-products that come with it. It's not necessarily a thrill.
Films have degenerated to their original operation as carnival amusement - they offer not drama but thrills.
But I've never felt that being an actress is being in a comfortable place. It's seen from the outside that we're being driven in big cars and having these gorgeous suites and all of that. But come on, it's not about that.
I know people like myself where we've got resorts, or we're in the hospitality business, and we just can't make money because you're paying someone minimum $42 per hour or something on a Sunday.
Pleasure is often spoiled by describing it.
What we know about the destination resort business is clearly established. But it's all about one thing, and one thing only. All of the razzmatazz and jazz we hear about facilities and everything else doesn't amount to a hill of beans. It's customer experience that determines the longevity and endurance of these enterprises.
I don't know anything about the hotel business.
