About this Quote

This quote by Diane Cilento recommends that her father had a rather narrow view of success. He appeared to think that the only method to be successful in the acting profession was to be popular and successful. This is a rather ridiculous thing to say, as there are many different courses to success in the acting occupation. One can be successful in the acting occupation without necessarily ending up being a family name. There are several ways to be successful in the acting occupation, such as operating in theater, tv, movie, and even voice acting. It is necessary to keep in mind that success is subjective which there is no one-size-fits-all definition of success. Everybody has their own definition of success and it is necessary to remember that success is not constantly measured in popularity and fortune.
