I'm In Community Theater. I Do Everything For Nothing All The Time

Yet "all the gold in the world" would not suffice in payment for the joy I've experienced in working for free. When she tires of the particular media hamster-wheel she's on now, she should give community theater a try!:

The Moroccan teenager at the center of a prostitution scandal that has sent Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi to trial says she has done nothing wrong and that "all the gold in the world" could not compensate her for the hurt she has suffered.

In an email exchange with The Associated Press on Wednesday and Thursday, Karima El Mahrough, who goes by the stage name Ruby, lamented that she has been "treated as a prostitute by all the Italian and foreign media."

"I WANT TO BE COMPENSATED for having been hurt so much and all the gold in the world would not be enough," she wrote to the AP.

Ruby, now 18, requested euro15,000 ($20,340) for a full TV interview, saying: "I don't do anything for nothing."

The AP, a nonprofit media organization, does not pay for interviews.
