Quote by Kenny Rogers

I have this theory about performers who last for a long time, and that is, if you break it down, music is not as big a part of it as personality and who you are. I think that we are all 3 people. I am who I think I am, I am who you think I am, and I am who I really am. The closer those 3 people are together the longer your career's gonna last. 'Cause people don't like to be fooled!

I have this theory about performers who last for a long time

Summary

This quote suggests that a performer's longevity is not primarily determined by their musical talent, but rather by their personality and authenticity. It suggests that there are three versions of oneself: the one's self-perception, how others perceive them, and the true self. The more congruent these three versions are, the more likely a performer's career will flourish. In other words, people appreciate sincerity and dislike being deceived. Thus, being genuine and true to oneself is key to building a lasting career in the entertainment industry.
