Julian Fellowes Quotes
Los Angeles Is A Town Where Status Is All And Status Is Only Given To Success. Dukes And Millionaires And Playboys By The Dozen May Arrive And Be Glad-handed For A Time, But They Are Unwise If They Choose To Live There Because The Town Is, Perhaps Even Creditably, Committed To Recognising Only Professional Success, And Nothing Else, To Be Of Lasting Value. The Burdensome Obligation Imposed On All Its Inhabitants Is Therefore To Present Themselves As Successes, Because Otherwise They Forfeit Their Right To Respect In That Environment ... There Is No Place In That Town For The "interesting Failure" Or For Anyone Who Is Not Determined On A Life That Will Be Shaped In A Upward-heading Curve.
