About this Quote

In this quote, Casey Affleck is highlighting the paradox of individuals who complain about losing their personal privacy and after that end up being angered when others do not acknowledge them for their accomplishments. He is pointing out the double standard that exists in society, where people want to be acknowledged and celebrated for their success, but likewise want to keep their anonymity and privacy. Affleck is recommending that people can not have it both ways and must accept the effects of popularity and success, consisting of the loss of privacy. He is likewise implying that people should not take it personally if others do not acknowledge them, as it is a natural repercussion of their own desire for privacy.
