On his radio show today, Dennis Prager said: “There are two reasons people enter entertainment. One is to entertain. The other is to be famous. If you entered entertainment primarily to share a talent, you can handle it. Fame can be a nice byproduct of your entertaining of others, but if fame is the primary part of the goal you have, it does not matter what it is. It could be talkshow host, athlete, entertainer. It’s a terrible elusive unfulfilling yearning because you will never have enough. As you get older, with few exceptions, your fame diminishes. It’s like taking a drug from someone if they have relied on it.”
“Fame has never affected me because it was not my goal. My goal is to touch people with my values. I wrote it in my diary that I kept in high school.”
“The same with success. It’s never enough.”
