I wonder what it must feel like to be a celebrity. Like Al Pacino. He's Al Pacino every day. It's not like he can just take a day off. Everywhere he goes people go crazy. "Hey--Al Pacino." "It's Al Pacino." "Whoa! It's Al Pacino."
Just seeing someone like that is a big deal. Why? It's just human nature. We have to have celebrities. So he's Al Pacino. He's running around as Al Pacino. Wherever he goes, the spotlight in on him. That shapes almost everything he does.
It's like he lives in a mental ayslum. Everyone around him is crazy. Everywhere he goes, it’s Al Pacino this, and Al Pacino that. All celebrities live in mental asylums. The bigger the celebrity, the crazier the people.
To someone like AL Pacino, an actual mental asylum is saner than the rest of the world. An insane asylum itself is the only place where people aren't obsessed with him. If Al Pacino wants a break from his lunatic world where everyone's talking about him, he should go to a mental asylum. Because in an asylum, even if they recognize him, they don’t really care. Do you think some guy there is going to make a big deal about seeing Al Pacino? He's a thousand times more likely to go, "Oh my gosh--we're having chimichangas for lunch!" He's more likely to make a big deal about some other person at the mental institute. He'll look at Al Pacino and say, "Hey--it's that guy from Scarface.." And then he'll see someone else and say, "And there's that guy I played ping pong with." He's more likely to get an autograph from the ping pong opponent. "And then if I have time, maybe I'll get Scarface's autograph. Right after I stick a shoe up my ass."
What would happen if Al Pacino were put in a situation like that? Would he get jealous? "Wait a second. Why is he getting that guy's autograph? He's not Al Pacino. I'm Al Pacino. What the hell's going on here? Is that guy even a celebrity? No--he's not a celebrity. He's in a mental institute."
Al Pacino might end up going insane due to something like that. Although maybe he's not Al Pacino. Maybe he's some guy in a mental institute who thinks he's Al Pacino.
What the hell am I talking about? I should probably point out that I'm currently in a mental institute. I'm definitely not Al Pacino, though. Unless I’m an insane Al Pacino who thinks he’s not Al Pacino.
But assuming I'm not Al Pacino, I know what it's like to be a nobody. I don't know what it's like to be Fame I want fame! I gotta be famous! I gotta go for glory. 90% Openness Deep down inside we want We're not open about all of that shit we do. There's the actual person and the one we expose to the world.
