All right, so here's the the question again.
00:03:09
Jack
Would you rather be?
00:03:11
Jack
A famous actor.
00:03:15
Jack
A successful famous author.
00:03:20
Jack
I would rather be a successful author.
00:03:25
Jack
And I know that's a strange answer.
00:03:28
Jack
But it's because.
00:03:32
Jack
I want to be.
00:03:35
Jack
Famous for.
00:03:38
Jack
My mind, my brain.
00:03:41
Jack
And not for my appearance or.
00:03:46
Jack
You know being.
00:03:48
Jack
A good looking actor or something? And I'm not saying I'm I'm good looking, I'm saying.
00:03:54
Jack
If I were a famous actor, I would probably be good looking and I don't really value those that as much as I value intelligence. I think intelligence is more interesting and more important than beauty.
00:04:14
Jack
Beauty is nice. It's nice to.
00:04:16
Jack
You can't.
00:04:17
Jack
Beautiful people.
00:04:18
Jack
They're, you know, it's they're. They're beautiful. They're, you know, beautiful people are are pleasant to to look at however.
00:04:28
Jack
Beauty is only skin deep.
00:04:32
Jack
And and when you talk to somebody, when you read and listen to somebody.
00:04:39
Jack
If there is no.
00:04:40
Jack
Substance inside of them, if they're not, if they don't have a good brain.
00:04:49
Jack
You know, good intelligence.
00:04:53
Jack
They're not intelligent, then they're boring.
00:04:58
Jack
Right, beauty.
00:05:00
Jack
Is is OK for a moment.
00:05:05
Jack
A conversation.
00:05:07
Jack
A lifetime relationship with an author.
00:05:12
Jack
You know? Uh.
00:05:13
Jack
Reading their books, waiting for the next book.
00:05:16
Jack
To come out.
00:05:18
발표자
That I want.
00:05:19
Jack
That kind of relationship with a fan base, people that people that love me and or like me and appreciate me for my mind, not for my appearance, which I think is a lot of what being a famous actor is now. Obviously, it's not just beauty because.
00:05:38
Jack
There are actors have to be.
00:05:41
Jack
Good performers, they have to be able to.
00:05:46
Jack
Pretend to be somebody else, and that's a that is a talent. I'm not saying actors are stupid. I'm not saying actors are on talented. I'm saying that is a talent, but I think.
00:06:01
Jack
A part of.
00:06:02
Jack
That is about appearance, just looking good on the screen and.
00:06:10
Jack
A writer and author.
00:06:13
Jack
Is just.
00:06:15
Jack
Creating an entire world.
00:06:17
Jack
From nothing, just from their mind.
00:06:21
Jack
Just from their mind.
00:06:23
Jack
They're creating an entire universe.
00:06:28
Jack
A writer is like.
00:06:30
Jack
A God.
00:06:32
Jack
Because they get to create the world that all the people in their story live in.
00:06:39
Jack
They get to tell the people what to do.
00:06:42
Jack
They get to tell the people what to say.
00:06:45
Jack
They create the story.
00:06:49
Jack
You know when.
00:06:50
Jack
We think about.
00:06:51
Jack
Words we don't like the word history.
00:06:55
Jack
Right. We don't think about that word very often, but what does it mean? His story, his story, his story.
00:07:03
Jack
Right you create.
00:07:06
Jack
A story.
00:07:08
Jack
And that is completely.
00:07:11
Jack
The writers story they they create it. They sit down at a computer and look at a blank screen.
00:07:20
Jack
And then they think of ideas.
00:07:23
Jack
And they type them out or write them out or however they do the whatever they're writing process is.
00:07:33
Jack
And they put that story those words onto a blank page, and they do it again. And again and again until they have hundreds of pages.
00:07:46
Jack
That came started with nothing, and then they have hundreds of pages with thousands of words.
00:07:55
Jack
That's amazing to me.
00:07:57
Jack
And if people respected me for doing that.
00:08:01
Jack
I would feel a lot prouder than if I were just a famous actor. Now, on the other hand, being a famous actor means you get to go to great parties and you get to be hang out with lots of the beautiful people and famous people and you get to have a lot more money than writers make.
00:08:22
Jack
And yes.
00:08:23
Jack
The lifestyle would be very.
00:08:28
Jack
Very nice.
00:08:32
Jack
I feel like the respect that a writer gets.
00:08:38
Jack
And is is better?
00:08:40
Jack
Than the fame that an actor gets. So For these reasons.
00:08:46
Jack
I would rather be a successful author.
00:08:51
Jack
Than a famous actor.
00:08:54
Jack
That's my answer.
00:08:56
Jack
I know it was a long Oreo.
00:08:59
Jack
But I have to fill up this episode somehow because I'm doing a solo episode. So.
00:09:08
Jack
It I need to I need to keep talking a little bit. Your Oreos can be much shorter than this one, but I would love to know what you think about this. So leave a comment on our website A-Z englishpodcast.com.
