About this Quote

This quote by Robert Wyatt suggests that fame and fortune do not always bring freedom. Rather, it can bring more restrictions and obligations. For instance, popular individuals may need to comply with certain requirements of behavior, gown, and speech in order to preserve their public image. They may likewise have to handle increased analysis from the general public and media, which can limit their liberty to do as they please. In addition, well-known individuals may need to devote more time to their profession, leaving them with less time to pursue their own interests or hang around with family and friends. Ultimately, this quote recommends that popularity and fortune can bring more obligations and restrictions than flexibility.
