We were shooting this club scene, and they brought me in, and I was wearing a stars and stripes bikini and a red cowboy hat, and six-inch heels. And they took me to Mike and he approved it. And they said, ‘You know, Michael, she’s 15, so you can’t sit her at the bar and she can’t have a drink in her hand.’ So his solution to that problem was to then have me dancing underneath a waterfall getting soaking wet... So that’s sort of a microcosm of how Bay’s mind works."

->''"[[TheFairFolk They]] looked at the parchment, then at us, then to the parchment again. It was fake, of course. [=I'd=] known it would be pointless to try to forge something that would pass muster, since we had no idea if invitations like that even existed and what they would look like if they did. So [=I'd=] gone the other way and made it a ridiculously obvious fake. It was even signed [='the King of Winter'=], since none of us knew what his actual name was. I could see the nobles wanted to immediately call us out on it, but they hesitated. I smothered a grin. It was just like dealing with [[TheEmpire Praesi]]. It was a transparent lie, so naturally there had to be something they were missing. Was it a trap aimed at them, perhaps?

->''"I have re-read that answer at least 10 times and [[PoesLaw I’m not sure if that's Madonna being shady or truthful.]] On the one hand, that sort of sounds like how I would imagine Madonna would call someone a boring basic bitch. On the other hand, it sounds like Madonna being self-aware enough to realize that her hard-core commitment to crotchless leather panty couture might be a bit much for the White House.
