Below, selected comments from Shane's mom and step-dad on the New York Times article, which appeared Sunday, September 5th: | "About the NY Times article: Although we appreciated the coverage the article gave to Shane, it was full of misquotes and inaccuracies. Since the writer was so far from the mark/completely failed to understand Shane, I'm certain her understanding of the young women she interviewed together with Shane was just as inaccurate! The writer also appears to have some pretty sad and quite narrow ideas about young actors/actresses trying to make it out here in Hollywood land. Perhaps it's that bad for some young people, but not for all. If you're single, keep your bills low, focus on what you want to do, and if you are also lucky enough to have a manager and family near by to encourage you, it's really not all that bad. Other inaccuracies: Shane's ex-girlfriend is actually a very nice person, and they are still friends. Also: The writer asked Shane if he knew Jessica Alba, not the other way around, and a conversation about how Shane had met Jessica once ensued, but this was days later, not seconds later as the article made it appear. Also: Shane rarely smokes. The writer thought it looked cool, so she actually told Shane to smoke, for the picture which ended up on the cover. For the picture taken outside of Dublin's, that was Shane's own choice to smoke, part of the celebration that night for finishing "I'll Be You" and beginning "Once and Again"." |
