It pays to cultivate popularity. It doubles success possibilities, develops manhood, and builds up character.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Never underestimate the power of being popular in pop culture. You have to be able to do something. You can have a good seat at the restaurant, but you still have to pay for the meal. Fame is important, but to be rich is more important.
Fame is useful in certain ways, because it helps you get more roles.
I think that, occasionally, fame and popularity can garner more attention for individuals or films. But as a person who believes in my craft, I like the romantic notion that skill and hard work is more important than notoriety.
My thing is, once you start to put a backbeat on your music or something that has a machine in it, you have popularity, but you lose the flexibility. And you lose a richness.
The sense of popularity in an actor is essential.
Popularity isn't just something that happens. You have to give something in exchange for it, and that's the dangerous part of the process.
If you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.
Fame or perceived success - it all comes from groupthink.
Popularity gets up people's noses. But I understand the importance and the function of popular music. There is an artistic purpose. Popular music helps people to develop a curiosity and leads them towards classical music.
Popularity is a crime from the moment it is sought; it is only a virtue where men have it whether they will or no.
