Thanks to capitalism, the importance placed on beauty has never been so manipulated.

I don't think you ever really get used to it, do you? There's always another little level of shock in it and of being starstruck at the people you meet. And that's the beauty of it: you're always fascinated, because it's not a normal thing to do, is it, this acting game?
— Barry Keoghan
