Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive.

I think they are looking for publicity and they are looking for a name for themselves.
Publicity can be terrible. But only if you don’t have any.
I don’t believe in publicity before a film is completed. It costs you money and wastes your energy, and you’re inflating your balloon before you have a balloon.

I don’t usually talk about the social work I do because I don’t do it for publicity. If I can bring a smile to the face of a few children in this one lifetime, I’d be happy.

I like to keep my posts relatable and don’t just post fake things for publicity. I don’t go putting out posts just to gain more followers.
I don’t crave publicity, you know.

Don’t believe your own publicity. You can’t; you’ll start thinking that you’re better than you are.
I can’t tell you that it would be bad exposure for me to be associated with someone who has the global Q-rating of Ronda Rousey. She certainly knows how to attract attention and garner tons of publicity, and just to be in on the merchandising of Ronda Rousey, would love for her to be a Paul Heyman girl.
Interviews are usually a follow-up, like a press junket or a publicity junket, or something like that, and I’m not doing any of that right now. I don’t have any axes to grind.

‘The Food Network’ was just starting in New York, and I was getting lots of attention from Mesa Grill. They had no money, so if you couldn’t get there by subway, you couldn’t be on. It wasn’t like TV was something I really wanted to do – but I knew it would be great publicity for my restaurants.
Pulitzers are journalist-oriented, so the publicity machine kicks in for about two days. Then, you go back to normal.
I just stick to my job, which is acting. Things like posters, publicity material, and promotions are entirely the film-maker’s prerogative. I don’t get into all of that.

I couldn’t sacrifice my heart for a publicity stunt.
Hollywood sold its stars on good looks and personality buildups. We weren’t really actresses in a true sense, we were just big names – the products of a good publicity department.
I do not know of any credible evidence that suggests Dr. Zavos can clone a human being. This seems to be yet another one of his claims to get publicity.
People always say there’s no such thing as bad publicity, and you always think they’re right, because it seems self-evident: nobody’s going to buy a magazine that nobody ever talks about, so people should want to buy a magazine that everybody’s talking about.
For as much as I tend to run my mouth sometimes, I would have definitely stacked up better in the 1970s or the 1980s when there wasn’t as much media or there wasn’t as much publicity and sponsorship around the sport that you had to be PC for.
It helps when 1 can send the children off to their fathers so I can support my new book with a national publicity tour. I started writing the book when my daughter was 5. It took me almost four years.
