While I was at a cocktail party last night on 14th street in Manhattan, a publicist told me the following: “I don’t want to be on TV ever! I want to be behind the scenes. I’d hate to be a celebrity. They have awful lives. Nothing in their life can be kept secret. Please don’t ask me to ever be interviewed or to give speeches.”
Now, this attitude is an affront to my very being; and it’s a very rare attitude to hear from someone working in Manhattan in media circles. But, this publicist’s perspective is a completely normal attitude held by the vast major of Americans and other psychologically healthy people around the globe.
Two quick thoughts came to mind when I heard the publicist make this comment:
1. There is nothing wrong with valuing privacy rights above fame and fortune , and
2. It’s insanely hard to actually become famous. You don’t become famous with one interview or speech or even with 1000.
