Summary

This quote reflects a person's initial motivation towards fame rather than acting as an art form. It suggests that the individual's primary goal was not to pursue acting out of passion or a love for the craft, but rather to gain public recognition and be in the spotlight. It highlights the distinction between desiring fame solely for personal gain and being driven by a genuine interest in performing and honing one's acting skills.
