"When you become famous, being famous becomes your profession"
- James Carville
About this Quote
This quote by James Carville talks to the concept that popularity is a job in and of itself. When someone becomes famous, they must preserve their popularity and track record in order to stay in the public eye. This implies that they must be continuously familiar with their public image and how they are viewed by the public. It also means that they should want to put in the work to maintain their fame, such as participating in occasions, providing interviews, and engaging with their fans. Popularity is not something that can be considered given, and it requires a lot of effort to keep. Therefore, when someone becomes popular, they should accept that being popular is now their occupation.
