About this Quote

This quote by Kevin Smith recommends that success does not alter a person, but rather it magnifies the qualities that already exist within them. It implies that a person's character is currently established before they end up being effective, and that success merely highlights the very best or worst in them. It suggests that success does not produce a beginner, however rather it reveals the real nature of the person. This quote can be analyzed as a reminder to stay real to oneself and to not let success modification who you are. It can also be seen as a warning to be conscious of the qualities that you have, as success can highlight the best or worst in you. Ultimately, this quote functions as a pointer that success does not specify an individual, however rather it exposes the person that already exists.
