In response to "I disagree. It might be a coarse way of saying it, but with the spoils of success you can't just ignore the downside of fame." by musubi

If someone's in it for the fame, I can see this argument. I don't believe all famous people are in it for fame I guess.

Some just want to excel at their chosen art (acting, music, etc) and perhaps make some damn good money. They are striving for the fame, perhaps would prefer not to have it.

I look at it this way, the fans are basically who are paying your salaries. You have to be grateful to them for letting you do what you do and live - pmb Sep 12, 10:08
No, I don't think that's right. Whether fame is the untimate goal or not, it's a reasonable by-product of success. - musubi Sep 12, 10:06 3
- If that were true of success in all fields, I might buy it. -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 10:14 2

  - If the field is intrinsically tied to face/name recognition for success, then it's absolutely valid. - musubi Sep 12, 10:18
