Suffice it to say that there are a lot of people who enter the arts as singers, musicians, actors, filmmakers, and other creative types seeking fame as the end game. This is tantamount to putting the cart before the horse. The arts are not tools for narcissists seeking fame and it shows by the countless wannabes running around Hollywood broken and soulless. It's very easy to see why these "artistic" narcissists can be duped into thinking otherwise when they see the media companies packaging girl and boy bands, parading so-called reality stars, and making movies not based on the validity of the content, but by who they can get to appear in it so they can slap a recognizable face on the keyart. True art comes from the heart and soul and is much bigger than the individual artist. The artist is just a medium of the arts. Take a look at this interview with Pharrell Williams by Oprah Winfrey to understand what true art is.
