Wise Words on Fame from Some Masters

Clooney had some wisdom on fame. Basically you can still make it at an older age, and should, to carry the success, apparently. Reassuring for young burgeoning actors.

And Crowe had some wise wisdom (that's totally true, I agree) about Hollywood. People get paid out of there but it's not necessarily The Hub for all film. It's certainly undeniably a major one (and has been The Hub) but the world's much smaller and film productions can certainly traverse many regions. Filming takes place anywhere in the world (or out of the world, e.g. "Earth to the Moon") so that's a cool clarification; something Ira Glass would undoubtedly call a "Modern Jackass" (an assumption you always think to be true and never question, despite its ridiculousness).
