People are just obsessed with other people's lives. I don't know whether it's kind of a way to escape their own, or something to follow... I really couldn't tell you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am interested in the notion that people can become so obsessed by their world that they lose sense and awareness of how they appear to other people. They're so earnest about it. But that's true of so many things.
It's extraordinary how self-obsessed human beings are. The things that people always go on about is, 'tell us about us', 'tell us about the first human being'. We are so self-obsessed with our own history. There is so much more out there than what connects to us.
People are intrigued and fascinated, almost obsessed with the private lives of great public personalities.
Presumably all obsessions are extreme metaphors waiting to be born. That whole private mythology, in which I believe totally, is a collaboration between one's conscious mind and those obsessions that, one by one, present themselves as stepping-stones.
Obsessions turn people off.
People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays.
I think everybody has something that they've been obsessed about in their lifetime.
I am obsessed with why people turn out the way they are.
Real obsession needs an unconscious motivation behind it.
The obsessions we have are pretty much the same our whole lives. Mine are people, the human condition, life.
