Sometimes you're famous before you're good.

Summary

This quote suggests that fame or recognition can sometimes come to individuals before they have actually mastered their craft or reached a level of expertise. It implies that talent alone may not always be the determining factor for achieving fame, as certain individuals may gain recognition or popularity through other means, such as luck or timing. In such cases, one's fame may outpace their actual skill level, highlighting the potential disparity between reputation and true ability.
