"Actors fall into this trap if they missed being loved for who they really were and not for what they could do - sing, dance, joke about - then they take that as love"

- Gene Wilder

About this Quote

This quote by Gene Wilder speaks to the concept that stars can become trapped in a cycle of looking for validation from others. If they have actually not been enjoyed for who they are, however instead for what they can do, such as singing, dancing, or joking, then they might take that as love. This can result in a cycle of seeking recognition from others, as they might not feel that they are truly loved for who they are. This can be a harmful cycle, as it can lead to an absence of self-respect and a dependence on external validation. It is very important for actors to remember that true love comes from within, and that they need to not count on external validation to feel liked.
