Daily Inspiration Quote by Corey Feldman

"Oh, I see people everywhere. Some are celebs, but most of my friends are just regular people. The thing is, even celebs are normal people too. Just people"

About this Quote

Feldman is trying to puncture celebrity as a category, not by attacking it, but by shrinking it down to human size. The repetition of "people" and the deliberately unadorned phrasing ("just regular people") works like verbal sandpaper: it scrapes off the glamour that culture polishes onto famous faces. It also reads like someone speaking from inside the machine, insisting that the machine is mostly cardboard.

The subtext is defensive in a way that feels earned. Feldman has spent his life being treated less like a person than a headline: child star, cautionary tale, tabloid fixture, internet punchline. When he says "even celebs are normal people too", he's not offering a profound insight; he's making a claim for basic dignity. The line lands because it carries the fatigue of someone who has watched fame distort every interaction, then tries to reset the terms. "Some are celebs, but most of my friends..". quietly reasserts choice and community, hinting that real safety is found off-camera.

Context matters: Feldman is part of that 80s-90s Hollywood cohort whose coming-of-age was public property, long before "parasocial" became a buzzword. His plainspoken insistence reads like a rebuttal to the audience's demand that celebrities be either idols or monsters. By flattening the hierarchy, he’s also asking to be seen without the costume of notoriety - not absolved, not mythologized, just recognized as a guy in a world full of guys.
