I'm watching the Steve Martin documentary, which prompted me to remind you that being famous is actually very bad. I have known a fair number of famous people over the years, personally and professionally, and exactly none of them enjoyed, on balance, being famous. The more famous you are, the more terrible that it is. Fame is isolating and frightening and unpleasant. I've had a few moments of micro-fame and they were all terrible.

If you can manage it, do not become famous.
