I can’t say I’ve ever met a famous person, so I don’t know how I’d react, but I hope I’d manage to have some semblance of respect.”
She thought over her words and shook her head slightly, her curls bouncing. “Yeah, depends on who you work with, I guess. Some celebrities egos are just astronomical and they look down on people…I feel kinda bad if your cousin has to go through with that.”
Crossing her legs, as she still had her jeans on, Kourtney continued to flip through the book, nearing the end. “I think you’re right. Push, push, push until you reach the point of exhaustion. I’ve seen my mum go through it, but it’s never good when she injures herself because of it.”
She did make a good point, there was always the downside to being famous which he had considered but in his mind; the positives definitely outweighed the negatives. "Yeah, I mean being in the public eye constantly would be rather annoying since you couldn't do much without being scrutinized. Living a normal life would be out of the question. Well, I think the real key is to remember what I was saying earlier.. they're just like everyone else, only they perform for a living." He never did see the point to the hullabaloo that people made over celebrities, it was kind of unnecessary but he wasn't going to dismiss the way people acted since there wasn't a need for it.
"Well, she's got quite the ego herself. I wouldn't go as far to say that it was astronomical but it's pretty ridiculous. I don't know how people can deal with that honestly."
Nodding his head as she spoke, he understood exactly what she was saying; it seemed like there were somethings that had gone without saying. "That really isn't good, but I think the thing is.. we never realize exactly how hard we're pushing ourselves until something bad ends up happening and then it's really not good at all."
