Glenn Close is suggesting that the term "diva" is overused and has ended up being a cliche. She believes that a true queen is somebody whose talent does not match the role they are trying to play, and as an outcome, they end up being unstable. This could be due to a lack of confidence in their own abilities, or a sensation of being overwhelmed by the expectations of the role. It might likewise be a result of sensation underestimated or not taken seriously. Whatever the cause, the result is an individual who is overly remarkable and unstable.
