 Fame, fame is best sought when either young and very cocky, energetic and naturally optimistic, or when wealthy, and can hide from the public when tired and don't want to be seen. But fame, when or if it comes to you while working mundane every day job, and achieve a level of fame on the side through performing or news headline ext, can be very stressful. Say you work in a mud pit from 7-4, by the time you're off work, all beat up, mentally and physically worn, now say you have a performance in 3 hours where audience has no idea you work in a mud pit, and think you're a professional entertainer. That can be stressful in more than one way. Audience may think just because you're on stage you're getting paid big money, when in reality you may not be getting paid a dime...but do it for exposure. Then when shows over have to come back home to grey environment, get a few hours sleep, wake up and spend day in mud pit again. Many want fame, but few are willing to work for itMany want fame, but very few are willing to work for it or have the bravado for it. With the persuit of fame comes a lot of rejection, getting laughed at, mockery, that's what the crowd does, and or reviewers of your performance. And you can't just fight everyone who disses your performance, you can't take it personal, or so they say. Its' why so few achieve fame, cause it's hard, can be nerve racking, and make many turn to drugs to deal with the pressures. I mean if you're 'off', yet have to be on in 1 hour, give performance, whether music, comedy, acting, ect, then no wonder many turn to drugs to get them temporary courage. When in fact, when 'off', a good performer will simply improve and work being 'off' into routine, let audience know you're 'off', and just deal with it 'as is'. That's how you connect with audience. But don't get to personal, they don't come to show for that. Only mega celebrities who have already achieved fame can get away with that. But even then if they get to personal it can creep people out. The audience really doesn't want you to be 'human' like them, or like their 'co-worker', the audience wants, needs, you to be above it all. It's like an illusion, it's why they come, they need to escape reality and join yours for a few minutes or hours.  To be continued...

I'm definitely past the stage of wanting to be a 'Star' or famous. To me, it's not worth it anymore to be famous, unless able to hide secular behind large Mansion walls on a large Estate. Without privacy, fame is a pain. A famous person is just like me and you, except their life, their flaws, joys and sorrows, are plastered all over magazines and tabloid news papers, and on CNN and Fox, Entertainment tonight, and they're spoken about daily, everyone waiting for them to fail.  I mean who needs that?, your whole life plastered on thousands of papers across the planet and usually in bad way. And when famous, always gotta look good, tidy, cause never know when cameras are aimed at you, even stepping out front door to retrieve paper or to smoke, camera there in your face... Bad hair day, snap, camera there in your face.. Bad mood, snap, camera there in your face.. Anyone you date, snap, camera there to plaster your date life to millions.. For some reason, when younger, just thought it would be cool to be famous, not anymore I don't, not in todays headline hungry environment. Famous maybe for inventing something, or one time lottery winner or career achievement type fame, but that's it, other than that I've observed fame usually comes back to bite you, cause sooner or later you'll mess up, and the cameras will be there to record it and plaster it all over the world.

I, at least in current mood, no longer want to be famous or anything.
I no longer want to 'save the world'.
We all fool ourselves with this notion that we bring some unique perspective to the world that the world will appreciate.
Trying to impress the world is like trying to impress populations controlled and under the influence of 'devils'...in that your righteousness will always been seen as a threat to others, or those in power.
People don't want to be 'corrected' on anything, especially if have to do with their own personal belief system.
The more famous one becomes the more enemies one makes, thus the more they delight in your fall.
And besides, I'm to ugly to be a poster 'star' anymore.
The world can do what it wants, I have no control over anything.

I kind of do want to yell out right now...but to who, or whom?
Those closet to you thing you're nuts.
And family, biological family can be the worst, they so want to keep you small.
So who do I shout out to???
No one I guess.
But all that aside, my show is growing, in with older important male type.

It's all fake, this idea that as a no body you can insert yourself into an established class, or club of talent...
It's why look at older movies, all the actors are simply recycled, different roles, same actors, same with today...it's a small club, like a 'couch' club.

Fame without wealth is about useless, and or even can be dangerous.
Hello all.
Fame, what a overrated status to achieve, seems cool while young, but as age realize it's dangerous....at least in my opinion.
Why?
Cause when famous everyone watches you, I mean make one mistake and it's plastered all over the headlines, you're embarrassed, your family gets embarrassed, and so forth.
I mean look how cruel the tabloids are to current or former celebrities with the whole before and after photos...how degrading.
Or the 'with make up, and without make up' pics, for all the world to see.
No one is at their best all of the time, especially as you age.
Being famous in today's tech world, social media world, prying eyes everywhere world, just isn't worth it, unless have wealth, cause then can 'hide' behind golden walls.
But if have to walk between paper rice walls, than not worth it.

I don't want to be famous anymore, rich yes, famous, no.
Later today will be participating in webinar with high powered film school, where acclaimed producer ext and whomever, will be presenting subject matter.
But I'm not really excited about it, cause it's a 'school' or should say 'University', which means no matter what I hear today, bottom line is unless have 10's of 1000's of dollars, what's the point.
And I'm to old, and credit not good enough, to pull out loans and all for classes.
Sure, I'd love to be apart of film making, but the competition is competitive for that field, and there's nothing about me that would make me a better candidate than any other.
I'm no longer the youngest or best looking person, which lenders tend to gravitate towards as far as school loans or grants go.
So if I can't, don't, finance own classes, than I don't go.
And with technology being what it is now, I could still create 'film', learn animation, or anything else online for fraction of cost, but the thing is, sure, one can create 'splendor' on their own, but unless have the backing of powerful distributors, no one really cares.
Distributors are who create 'buzz', and decide what's trendy, what's trending...and if not dialed into one of these distributors, being a studio, University, ext, you can create art all you want, but will never profit from it....so you'll just be doing it for the fun of it, as in a hobby.
Raw talent really stopped mattering about 30 years ago, now it's not talent that propels you, rather now it's connections, being connected to right institution.

A slow interview, but full of a lot of meat if you listen or make the time to
I mainly remember this guy from the movie 'Predator'.
In this interview they share a lot of age old wisdom.
