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."
"Yep, I agree. I think it's just more of a case of hero worship than anything else. These people, like you said, are role models for others, whether they like it or not. But honestly, some people take it too far. Interrupting a celebrity while they're eating or talking on their phone is just being really rude." She replied, thinking that this conversation just became really interesting.

"I guess some people will put up with whatever they have to in order to make things work...or just to keep their jobs in some instances." It was actually pretty difficult to think about someone losing their job just because they couldn't meet every demand of some spoiled person.

"I agree. It's just unfortunate that it happens at all, but...hopefully you learn from it and move on. And history doesn't repeat itself." She added.
