... yesterday on an airplane I sat next to the actor who played the Japanese general in PEARL HARBOR (which would be either Mako or John Fujioka, I can't tell).
A few years ago that would have really impressed me. But yesterday is just made me realize how stupid our concept of fame really is. You're just anybody else if nobody recognizes you. Fame is an illusion that depends on validation from a third party if it is going to exist at all, making it one of the most fragile things I could possibly fathom. And yet, a multi-billion dollar industry is based around it.
How very stupid indeed.
