quotes by Cintra Wilson

"Stop pathetically believing that you deserve fame or fame deserves you. It's yucky, and it's only making you miserable, so stop."
— Cintra Wilson (A Massive Swelling: Celebrity Reexamined as a Grotesque Crippling Disease and Other Cultural Revelations)

"Once a decision is made to be tasteful and risk-free, all spark, soul, variety, sleaze, spontaneity and fun go right out the window"
— Cintra Wilson

"Look deep into your heart, Gentle Reader. Deep, deep, deep; past your desire for true love, for inexhaustible riches or uncontested sexual championship, for the ability to fight crime and restore peace to a weary world. Underneath all this, if you are a true, red-blooded American, you'll find the throbbing desire to be famous."
