Quote

If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but what are you going to do now? is the only thing that matters.

Katharine Hepburn
Image
I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.
