August1991 Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 Some unknown people want to be famous. (Cher said to Sonny, "Make me famous!") Other suddenly famous people want to be private. (John Dean's secretary famously said: "I guess this is my 15 minutes.") The fifteen minutes refers to Andy Warhol. ====== My OP is different. I recently received a phone message from someone who said: "I don't use email." 1 Quote

Younger, he wanted to be known. From Gemini AI "regarding the nature of fame, a commonly shared sentiment compares it to a restaurant birthday celebration: it feels special for a brief moment, with everyone looking at you, but it is ultimately performative, fleeting, and they do it for everyone else, too."
