A good thing about Social media was it took away the power of paparazzi. A bad thing for celebrities was that direct link to fans now showed how dumb and out of touch they were. The mystique disappeared.

Timothy Olyphant "Acting is very easy. They tell you what to wear, they tell you what to say, they tell you where to stand. And if you can manage to do those three things, you're a genius."

My fav Hitchcock quote is "I never said actors were cattle, I said they should be treated as cattle"

Kurt Russell has repeatedly said that entertainers should avoid political commentary, framing themselves as “court jesters” whose job is to amuse rather than inform or persuade.

That Avengers zoom call showed everyone these actors can act as characters but cannot act as themselves.

A relevant insight from Chris Pine;
"Hollywood is like living in a weird bubble. A bunch of people take care of you and get you stuff, and you're the center of that little microcosmic world. You start believing that it is real and... you deserve it."

It's crazy how the most privileged and pampered people in the world will tell all of us how we should live our lives and how we need to do better.

Can we go back to Humphrey Bogart - "The only thing an actor owes the public - is a good performance." Or, am I way off base?

This is why we remember the Greek classics for those who wrote them, not those who performed them. We remember Shakespeare, not those who performed his works

They’re not artists. They’re performers. That’s a very good point. Yet they get all the credit for the film. People rarely know who wrote the film.

Our society is worse off thinking rich celebrities have something to bring to a conversation more than any other random Joe off the street.

Actor activism makes it hard to enjoy their movies, writer activism makes it impossible.

Why would I ever take serious anyone whose entire existence revolves around pretending to be someone they're not?

I love that the word “empathy” that everyone is obsessed with now originally (in English ) meant the projection of one’s inner experience and emotion into art . It’s almost poetic .
