I'm always having to get rid of reporters.
Some journalists are pestier than others, so I find out where the pests are. I am careful with my actors and actresses. I come back and tell them, 'Watch out for this one or that one.' People are surprised I do that. But I watch out for them even after the movie is over.
I've never played the PR game.
I have a hotline to the tabloids. When I get up in the morning, I call the Star, and the last thing at night, I call them. I want them to have the inside track.
I'm not afraid of the media. I think I know how to handle them because I've been around them enough.
I am a big believer in PR.
We're in this industry, we feel like we need to be plugged into a news cycle all day long. You feel like if you're not commenting on the news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you're not going to be relevant.
I generally read everything about me. Based on my army experience, I think it's the right thing to do. Saddam Hussein didn't read his reviews and thought he was winning the war.
I read the papers, I surf the Web. At the beginning of the year, I try to see at least two episodes of every show on our network. Am I surfing? All the time. I'm aware of the landscape. I'm a competitor, so I have to know whom I'm competing with.
I'm very careful with my media intake. I try and monitor it pretty carefully.
Today, we need to listen more carefully. I read what people say on Twitter, my friends on Path, in addition to formal media. I look for patterns, and then I post questions back to my network.
I was in a profession that received a lot of media.
We've been dealing with censorship around multimedia, about multinational companies and the content they create, for a very long time.
My dad hates doing PR, so I volunteered to do this for him.
I understood public relations and always maintained a high profile.
Our task is to listen to the news that is always arriving out of silence.
I don't call magazines and let them know about things so they can write stories.
It's so very important as to what a child watches on TV. I feel for every parent that knows this, and cares, because they only have control of the child's viewing to a certain point.
One thing, parents: you need to realize is you've got to stop letting artists raise your kids. You're the parent. Why don't you monitor what your child wears? Ariana Grande didn't sign on to be a role model.
I don't have a publicist.
Privacy was in sufficient danger before TV appeared, and TV has given it its death blow.
I've never seen a publicist that could protect me from things, protect anyone from what's going on out there.
It was a show where you were given a quote out of current events and you had to identify who said it. I was reading eight newspapers a day and had compiled a file of about 300 quotes. I really had to do my research. The White House press didn't have to bone up on any of it.
My mother had to tailor what I watched.
If parents don't like some of the stuff I do then they shouldn't let their kids watch me.
