...make in a year working at a paper mill. You get all this credit for slumming it in the indie world. It's bullshit. Actors make good money."

Royal, dressed soberly in a white collared shirt and black blazer, kept her eyes riveted on Sarkozy (blue suit and striped tie) as she unrolled ideas as she saw fit rather than in the ordered sequence the moderators vainly tried to preserve. Several times they had to intervene to give Sarkozy...
