George Mention: Ricky Gervais
“(People) see George Clooney and they go, `He’s happy, he’s successful, he’s got everything, he’s famous. Therefore, I shall become famous.’ No, no, no. He’s happy, because he’s successful, because he’s good at something. His fame is an upshot of what he does. They actually use it as a shortcut for happiness. They don’t know what will make them happy, they think, `Fame will make me happy.’” (The Star-Ledger)
