One may be that people think everyone in the entertainment industry is just an egomaniac and they believe all these rumors about actors stating that you can't look them in the eye and that they are all very demanding. Certainly we have our share of ego in our business, but having said that, I wan to note that have been doing radio and television for over 20 years now and I've found that there is so much philanthropy in our business and there is so much good. I have been to so many great fundraising events, there are constantly people raising money and people who have made a lot of money in entertainment who give back at a tremendous level. There is so much heart in our business and so much passion for the arts and what people of the arts feel toward the medical community and those in need in general. There is so much empathy in entertainment and I think that is something that is often not talked about enough.
That it's glamorous. It's the same in any other business, but particularly with the entertainment industry because what people see of it are the most glamorous moments. They see the premieres and photo shoots and beautiful clothes and traveling to exotic places. People don't see the manufacturing side, which is the process of filming and that's not glamorous. It's amazing and incredible work, I'm grateful for it everyday, but its not the glamour filled life that people imagine it is.
What I hear about comedians a lot is that comedians are really mean and bitter people. Maybe there are certain subcultures of comedians who are like that, but most of the people that I have met in comedy are really warm, generous, caring people. They're people I am proud to be friends with. That would be the biggest misconception people have. I think its based on the movie รข€˜Punch Love' where Tom Hanks played a guy that had emotional problems (because that makes a good dramatic arc for a movie) but it's not the experience I have had in comedy.
One of the biggest misconceptions that is spreading like a plague among people is that "Everything is created for everyone", driving fans nuts and starting intellectual wars.
If you're a size 10 male and you struggle for half an hour to fit into size 6 golden heels, you are obviously going to hate everything about it unless someone points out that you should probably try size 10 shoes in the men's section. Now all of this is still fine, you were experimenting, to discover your taste but if you call a size 6 woman an idiot for trying those heels after you, you're the idiot!
People have different tastes, almost everything will have an audience and just because you do not agree with something, you shouldn't shame the fans. Maybe you need to move on and find your own thing.
The day people understand this, there would be lesser illogical arguments over fiction/music.
