Daily Inspiration Quote by Farrah Fawcett

"It's still going on. I guess it will be until Redmond quits, dies or is jailed"

About this Quote

A weary shrug disguised as a punchline, Farrah Fawcett’s line lands because it treats something corrosive as mundane routine. “It’s still going on” is the flat, exhausted opening of someone who’s been trapped in a loop: not a single incident but a long campaign of intrusion, litigation, or harassment that refuses to end. The casual “I guess” isn’t uncertainty so much as surrender to a system that hasn’t protected her. She’s describing persistence as inevitability.

The name-drop “Redmond” does a lot of work. It yanks the comment out of abstraction and into the claustrophobic reality of celebrity: your antagonist isn’t “the press” or “the public,” it’s a specific person with a first name that sounds almost domestic. That intimacy is the menace. She’s not mythologizing her fame; she’s showing how fame can create a private hell with a proper noun attached.

The trio of endpoints - “quits, dies or is jailed” - is bleak in a way only a very public person can say out loud. There’s no faith in reconciliation, boundaries, or a polite stop. Two of the three outcomes are death or incarceration, a moral horizon narrowed by experience. Even “quits” reads like a fantasy, placed alongside the only forces she believes can actually end it: mortality or the state.

Coming from an actress whose image was engineered to project sunny control, the power is in the tonal mismatch. She’s puncturing the glamour with a grim inventory of how these stories really end - not with closure, but with an exit.
