Anything Goes
“I think there is a big divide in what people perceive as the showbiz and entertainment world in LA and what it’s like for normal people who aren’t douchebags in that environment. Life isn’t like the Kardashians. I grew up with lots of people whose parents were in the entertainment industry and I have a lot of friends who today are in the entertainment industry and there really is a whole world of normal people but I have to say there is a lot of craziness and pretentiousness. And it is hell, to some extent.
