Fame is damaging when people become reliant on it for their sense of self, and their identity, when fame is linked to how you see yourself.

I'm 5-foot-5, and I'll wear a big parka and put the hood up, and nobody gives me a second glance.

Who are the executives, and what are the stories that are being released? Not just in movie theaters but online. When you watch Master of None, you're like, yes, this is real life to me. These are refreshing types of stories.
