Jeremy Irons Quote

I think that there is this idea that what you should go after is fame. That is a hugely mistaken idea because fame means absolutely nothing. This whole culture of wanting to become famous is on a hiding to nothing, a sign of a society that's lost its way and will only judge people as being valid if they're famous, which of course is all bullshit. As Tom Stoppard said, the only thing that fame means is that more people know you than you know.
