What does the word "fame mean for you"? Is it sacrifising yourself for the sake of the public or a good way to make money on your popularity?
For me fame is when people adore you, when you are appreciated by them for your talent or beauty. It's when you are highly recognisable in public. I thenk that most famous people, like pop music satars ar actors, do their job in order to make money on their popularity. But I shoul say that their job is not the one that I woul like to have. It's so exhausting to be stared all the time, even when you are on holidays, to be shot, to smile under the flashes of cameras. On the other hand, such career provides luxury houses, expensive cars, designed cloths and very interesting life, fulfilled with glamorous events, formal dinner parties and metings with interesting, sophisticated people.
Of course, not everybody achieves such a success in the shpere of show business, some people, who are not scandalously promoted, earn beer money and die abandoned, unrecognised and pauper.
