I think celebrity culture is strange, because celebrities are kind of treated as non-people, rather more like a product or something to be consumed. How does your celebrity status impact your sense of humanity or self? I ask this as someone who is certainly not a celebrity but still sometimes has a hard time tapping into what it means to feel part of humanity, or human.

Thanks. My follow-up was going to be a real hard-hitter about what type of deodorant he prefers, but I got distracted changing a tire. Maybe next time.

I think what he was getting at is that maybe the story, or the film, ends up being the way he connects with people. It serves as a sort of proxy, because I imagine his connections otherwise are dominated by his staggering celebrity. It's very interesting, but his reply was indeed very abstract.
