Daily Inspiration Quote by Josie Maran

"Having your own character in a video game is pretty cool"

About this Quote

There is a deliberate smallness to this line, and that’s the point. “Pretty cool” isn’t the language of legacy or gravitas; it’s the language of someone trying to sound normal while quietly naming a surreal milestone. For a working model like Josie Maran, whose job has historically been to serve as a surface for other people’s fantasies, the idea of “your own character” flips the power dynamic. In games, a character isn’t just a face on a billboard; it’s an agent, a set of choices, a body that moves through a world with consequence. The subtext: I’m not only being looked at anymore, I’m being played as.

The phrase also dates itself in a useful way. It comes from the era when celebrity cameos in games were still a novelty, before scanning, skins, and influencer crossovers turned likeness into routine IP plumbing. Saying it’s “pretty cool” signals an awareness of how ridiculous it might sound to be impressed by digitization, while admitting genuine delight anyway. It’s modesty as a protective layer: if you downplay your amazement, you keep control of the narrative.

Intent-wise, the quote works as both endorsement and self-positioning. It invites fans to share in the thrill of recognition while underscoring a cultural shift: models, once static icons, getting translated into interactive media where identity becomes something you can inhabit, not just consume.
