Sharon Stone Reveals F-Bomb-Filled Taylor Swift & ‘Basic Instinct’ Stories

Emma stone dedicated a portion of her remarks at the Astra Awards to recounting her experience growing up in a “small town in northwestern Pennsylvania,” describing it as a place grappling with issues like drug use and poverty,alongside a notable Amish population.

“I went on to demonstrate what different lives could look like and what different lives could feel like as I felt a lot growing up in that environment,” she said, reflecting on her career as an actress. “I felt a lot about the Amish people that I grew up with, the people who taught me how to build things, and the sense of community we had when we finished a project.”

stone then addressed a significant issue – the disparity in compensation between actors and the crew members who work on film and television sets.

“Everybody thinks that what we do is all sunglasses and flashbulbs but it isn’t. It’s a lot of seasons of strikes, illnesses, and periods of unemployment, and wondering how to pay the bills. That’s what it really is to be an artist.What does it mean to be timeless? It is indeed not a bunch of people chasing likes on social media. It’s about kindness, connection, and respect. It’s when you’re on the road and you treat people with decency, and you truly see them. It’s when you earn more money than your crew and you realize you shouldn’t be taking advantage of craft service because you aren’t the ones doing the heavy lifting. You aren’t hauling cables or working through rain and snow. You should be using your earnings to provide better food and resources for the people who make your work possible.”

She urged stars to take responsibility for their spaces, clean up their trailers, and dispose of their trash. She also suggested using their time off to contribute to something meaningful. Then she referenced Taylor Swift.

“You know why people connect with Taylor Swift? As she’s a decent person. Be decent. That is what it means to be timeless. Be a kind and respectful person.”
