“There is a specific time and place to take pictures of what I do,” she said. “This is part of my job.” “But to be photographed and not know I'm being photographed, and it's such a private moment? It seems so much more horrific, so violative, so violative. People say that's the price you pay when you're famous, but I don't. “I don't think that's necessarily true.”
