"Even someone who works with me, like this girl who works with me, her name is Sue. She lives with me and holds the fort; she takes care of all these little things. She takes care of the money situation, and I would not be able to live without someone like that"
About this Quote
That’s the subtext of celebrity labor: success isn’t just beauty, branding, or public attention, it’s an ecosystem of invisible caretaking that makes the visible persona possible. Bourret’s phrasing turns the home into a command post. “Holds the fort” borrows from a language of siege and defense, implying constant pressure from outside demands - schedules, bills, bookings, the churn of opportunities and crises. “Sue” becomes less a friend than an infrastructure, the person who absorbs the administrative drag so the “Caprice” product can keep moving.
The intent feels half-confessional, half-normalizing: she’s admitting she can’t do it alone, but she’s also insisting this arrangement is practical, even inevitable. It’s a candid glimpse into how fame often privatizes support systems. Where most people rely on a partner, family, or shared domestic labor, she names a worker - and in doing so exposes how thin the line can be between care and employment when your life is also your business.
