Publicity is the life of this culture - in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive - and at the same time publicity is its dream.
I do need publicity but not for what I do for good. I need publicity for my book. I need publicity for my fights. I need publicity for my movie but not for helping people. Then it is no longer sincere.
Publicity, publicity, publicity is the greatest moral factor and force in our public life.
I know actors who court personal publicity because they believe no publicity is bad publicity.
????Short of committing murder, negative publicity sells more seats than positive publicity.
Writers want publicity all the time, and they are always nagging their agents and publishers to give them more publicity, but, when you get it, it's kind of soul-destroying.
The emerging notion of the Eighties was that publicity was a currency. The old view was that if you had a currency - your talent or your product - publicity might draw attention to it. The new view was that publicity in itself, highlighting you, bestowed value.
Without publicity, no good is permanent; under the auspices of publicity, no evil can continue.
That's a huge subject - a writer refusing to do publicity but writing about publicity.
Now, if there was one woman in the world who didn't need publicity, who always had too much publicity, it was me.
Women are more sensitive, more practical, more intelligent, more balanced, better able to deal with people, better cooks, better parents, better carers, better leaders, and so on and so forth.
It can't hurt, publicity is publicity, controversy and all that, it's all good.
To me, any publicity is good publicity.
A man once said that the pinnacle of success
Is when you've finally lost interest
In money, compliments, and publicity
A noble enough idea, I suppose
How on earth he does this, heaven only knows
I know I need a lot more of all three of those
Before I ever have the nerve to turn up my nose
At any money, compliments, and publicity.
Don't believe your own publicity. You can't; you'll start thinking that you're better than you are.
Actually, 19 is in charge of our career at that point. FOX publicity is in charge of the publicity that we get. I'm fine with it, it is really organized.
