And I'm not saying I'm I'm good looking, I'm saying.00:03:54JackIf 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.00:04:14JackBeauty is nice. It's nice to.00:04:16JackYou can't.00:04:17JackBeautiful people.00:04:18JackThey're, you know, it's they're. They're beautiful. They're, you know, beautiful people are are pleasant to to look at however.00:04:28JackBeauty is only skin deep.00:04:32JackAnd and when you talk to somebody, when you read and listen to somebody.00:04:39JackIf there is no.00:04:40JackSubstance inside of them, if they're not, if they don't have a good brain.00:04:49JackYou know, good intelligence.00:04:53JackThey're not intelligent, then they're boring.00:04:58JackRight, beauty.00:05:00JackIs is OK for a moment.00:05:05JackA conversation.00:05:07JackA lifetime relationship with an author.00:05:12JackYou know? Uh.00:05:13JackReading their books, waiting for the next book.00:05:16JackTo come out.00:05:18발표자That I want.00:05:19JackThat 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.00:05:38JackThere are actors have to be.00:05:41JackGood performers, they have to be able to.00:05:46JackPretend 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.00:06:01JackA part of.00:06:02JackThat is about appearance, just looking good on the screen and.00:06:10JackA writer and author.00:06:13JackIs just.00:06:15JackCreating an entire world.00:06:17JackFrom nothing, just from their mind.00:06:21JackJust from their mind.00:06:23JackThey're creating an entire universe.00:06:28JackA writer is like.00:06:30JackA God.00:06:32JackBecause they get to create the world that all the people in their story live in.00:06:39JackThey get to tell the people what to do.00:06:42JackThey get to tell the people what to say.00:06:45JackThey create the story.00:06:49JackYou know when.00:06:50JackWe think about.00:06:51JackWords we don't like the word history.00:06:55JackRight. We don't think about that word very often, but what does it mean? His story, his story, his story.00:07:03JackRight you create.00:07:06JackA story.00:07:08JackAnd that is completely.00:07:11JackThe writers story they they create it. They sit down at a computer and look at a blank screen.00:07:20JackAnd then they think of ideas.00:07:23JackAnd they type them out or write them out or however they do the whatever they're writing process is.00:07:33JackAnd 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.00:07:46JackThat came started with nothing, and then they have hundreds of pages with thousands of words.00:07:55JackThat's amazing to me.00:07:57JackAnd if people respected me for doing that.00:08:01JackI 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.00:08:22JackAnd yes.00:08:23JackThe lifestyle would be very.00:08:28JackVery nice.00:08:32JackI feel like the respect that a writer gets.00:08:38JackAnd is is better?00:08:40JackThan the fame that an actor gets. So For these reasons.00:08:46JackI would rather be a successful author.00:08:51JackThan a famous actor.00:08:54JackThat's my answer.00:08:56JackI know it was a long Oreo.00:08:59JackBut I have to fill up this episode somehow because I'm doing a solo episode. So.00:09:08JackIt 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.
