I Don't Think People Should Abuse The Fact That They Are In Showbiz. You Still Have To Be Human. I Think That's The Point. Showbiz Is About Showing Human Things - Just Amplified, That's All. And When It Gets Too Much Into, "hey, We're Part Of The Showbiz Club And We Can Do What We Want," It Turns Me Off And I Hate It.
