- If you have an opportunity to ask one question of a seminal funk and jazz musician, do not ask “who’s your favourite rapper?”
- Celebrities are just like us, only they aren’t. And both of you know it.
- “When you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too…it feels just like when you wasn’t famous”. -Mike Skinner.
- Your idols inevitably disappoint you. But don’t worry, you most likely disappoint them as a fan as well.
- Fame is relative and contextual. For instance, I wouldn’t care or even realize if I ran into Tony Hawk. I would be ecstatic if I met B.B. King (who your average Tony Hawk fan might not give a shit about).
- According to two young Puerto Rican girls I overheard on the G Train about a year ago, being famous means that everybody in the world knows who you are. Like Miley Cyrus.
- When you or a friend of yours touches a bit on even a small amount of fame, you can be in a public location and be recognized, and it is strange. I like my anonymity. While watching “How High” in a theater by myself many years ago in Vancouver, I was recognized for being on the UBC Improv team by a group of students several rows behind me. I had to engage them in a conversation, then turn back to watching this movie. By myself. Sitting in front of these kids. For over an hour and a half.
- It is easier to meet famous people who you have a personal or business connection to, because then you can always find common ground through your mutual relationships.
- Canadian celebrities are still famous…but they’re “Canadian famous”. It is the same for internet celebrities.
- I sometimes wonder…do celebrities ever share stories about meeting us?
