Quote by Gilda Radner

Fame changes a lot of things, but it can't change a lightbulb.

Fame changes a lot of things, but it can't change a lightbul

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that despite achieving fame and fortune, there are certain things in life that remain unchanged by fame. In this case, the example of a lightbulb emphasizes the simplicity and stability of everyday objects that fame has no influence over. It implies that fame may alter a person's life in many ways, but it cannot alter the basic facts of reality or the significance of the ordinary things that shape our lives. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder that fame is not all-encompassing and does not hold power over everything in life.
