I would go to the all-night grocery store and pretend that I was at Studio 54 because it was the only place open all night. Truman Capote in the frozen foods. Andy Warhol over in vegetables.
I've always had a repulsion going in a place where animals are in captivity.
It is unacceptable for a woman to be rescued from captivity from ISIS to come and not have a place to live, to be put in refugee camps.
I've always been scared of advertising folk. I've met them at parties and I've been to their offices and I've always found them intimidatingly cool.
