This seems like a non-sequitor. If the original post had attributed the quote to Stephen Speilberg, would you have responded similarly? I doubt it. My point: It's a great quote and some good life philosophy to consider. It doesn't really matter who said it.

I think so. As a rule, the lives of celebrities are pretty fucked up when you get behind their public facade. I'm not saying anything specific about these two, as I don't know either of them. I guess I'd amend my comment to say don't take life advice from celebrities. Unless, perhaps, you aspire to be a celebrity.

The "be the hero of your own movie" advice is pretty cliche as well.
