  1. I just discovered this interview. Concerning “celebrity,” or being considered a “star,” and addiction, I believe the true pressure that is never talked about is the fact that the person is put on a pedestal, in society, when in fact they are a slave to the industry. Basically, you ARE controlled by the industry. And many try to escape this reality by using something to help them deal with reality: eg., money (bragging), “living large,” and drugs or alcohol. Sadly, drug and drink are the easiest remedy that is readily available to fill the reality. As he said, in the “9 to 5” world, when YOU are sick or when you need a personal day, YOU are in enough control to say, “I cannot work today.” The lie associated with the celebrity status is when millions are telling a person, “You are a star!” When in fact, reality says to the person, “But ‘the man’ owns me. Others tell me when to work, how to dress, when to speak, and what to say or not say.” Executives have the power and they always remind the “star” of this fact: who made you???
