I've seen clips of Britney in various acting roles and was surprised at how good she was. And in interviews, in between manic type speaking (which to me seemed more like trying to say everything before being cut off) again, I was struck by how intelligent she sounded.

I'm not a celeb follower, but stuff like that is what made me more aware of how the machine lulls us into false assumptions about people. You have to look for the tiny cracks letting in light.
