Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of fame and recognition. It suggests that individuals may not receive the same level of attention or support in their own hometowns as they would when they are situated within a glitzy and popular context, like Las Vegas. The quote implies that people are more likely to show interest in someone when they are part of an extravagant or exclusive occurrence, whereas they may overlook or underestimate their talent when it is easily accessible in their everyday surroundings.

You must have this charm to reach the pinnacle. It is made of everything and of nothing, the striving will, the look, the walk, the proportions of the body, the sound of the voice, the ease of the gestures. It is not at all necessary to be handsome or to be pretty; all that is needful is charm.

Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan.
