"It keeps you grounded, you lead a regular life and you appreciate things more"
About this Quote
Groundedness is Remini's quiet flex: a refusal to let fame turn into a personality. The line is plain on purpose, built from soft verbs and everyday nouns ("grounded", "regular life", "appreciate") that signal hard-won normalcy rather than red-carpet mystique. Coming from an actress who has publicly rebuilt her life after leaving Scientology and then made that rupture part of her public work, "regular" reads less like small talk and more like survival language. It's the vocabulary of someone insisting that ordinary routines can be radical when your past was controlled, surveilled, or emotionally monetized.
The intent is reassurance, but also boundary-setting. Remini isn't romanticizing humility; she's naming a practical strategy: stay close to the textures of non-celebrity life so you don't start treating the world like a set built for you. The subtext is that fame and insular systems share a threat: they both distort feedback. A "regular life" restores friction - errands, unfiltered friends, consequences - the stuff that keeps ego from floating off into orbit.
"Appreciate things more" lands as the emotional payoff, but it's also a subtle critique of entitlement culture. Gratitude here isn't performative; it's a recalibration after excess and illusion. In a celebrity ecosystem that sells aspiration, Remini is selling reality as the luxury item: not being above it all, but being in it, fully awake.
