You Wanna Be on Top? Quotes

“Although most people might want it, fame has the lowest odds of success, paired with the highest level of shame for those who fail. If someone changes after years as a banker, or an insurance salesman, we applaud them. But if you switch careers after working in entertainment? You're a failure. I guess the assumption is if anyone could be famous, they would. So, if you stop pursuing it, it must because you couldn't, and not because you just wanted to do something else.”
