Daily Inspiration Quote by Katie Price

The line lands like a wink that doubles as a warning: if you think fame is just luck and lashes, you are already losing. Coming from Katie Price, a figure who has spent decades being both consumed by and accused of gaming the tabloid machine, “shrewd” isn’t a personality trait so much as a survival skill. The question tag - “haven’t you?” - is doing work. It recruits the listener into her reality, as if the conclusion is self-evident: of course you have to be strategic, because everyone else is.

The intent is less confession than reframing. Price is quietly pushing back against the cultural script that models and reality stars are passive products, “discovered” and discarded at the whims of editors, agents, and gossip columns. She’s insisting on agency, but in a way that acknowledges the game is rigged. “A bit shrewd” is modest phrasing for what is often required: negotiating your image, monetizing attention, tolerating ridicule, and knowing when to feed the story versus starve it.

The subtext is transactional and slightly cynical: longevity isn’t about purity or talent alone; it’s about reading incentives and playing them back. In a celebrity economy that punishes women for being calculating while rewarding them for being bankable, Price’s line also functions as a permission slip. She’s naming the hustle without glamorizing it, and she’s doing it in the plainspoken register of someone who’s been underestimated for so long that understatement becomes its own kind of power.
