Sometimes people take it for granted that they had success, especially nowadays when you have instant stardom. A lot of people feel entitlement and nobody is entitled to anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.
Why does everyone think they need to be a star? It's ridiculous. The celebrity culture is so silly, and the fact that people grow up thinking that it's something to aspire to just seems wrong. I don't mean to bash my life. I love my life; I just think it's not the only way to go.
My goal has always been to make a living and to have the respect of my peers. It's never been about stardom. It's about a good and challenging part.
Fame obviously has become a premium in everybody's life. Everybody thinks they deserve it, everybody thinks they want it and most people really don't enjoy it once they get it.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Being a star and having money do not make for a happy person.
People want stardom or fame or whatever - instant gratification as opposed to learning one's craft, which, when I was starting out, was the most important thing: that you are as fully equipped for your job or your art as possible.
I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.
Stardom is a magical yet freakish situation at times. It's a cliche but very true that at times, you feel so alone, even when you're surrounded by so many people.
Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don't think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.
