Summary

This quote suggests a tongue-in-cheek analogy between a farmer's barn and the world of entertainment. The phrase "if a farmer fills his barn with grain, he get mice" implies that when there is something desirable and abundant (grain), it naturally attracts unwanted pests. Similarly, "if he leaves it empty, he gets actors" suggests that in the absence of what is desired, less desirable elements (actors, metaphorically representing individuals seeking attention or opportunities) will come forward to fill the void. The quote playfully alludes to the idea that the lure of abundance can attract both unwanted pests and individuals vying for attention in the entertainment industry.
