That's quite the paradox, Abaya. How can somebody have long lasting recognition without being famous?
It's not that I spend every waking moment chasing fame. I simply understand that the type of recognition that survives long after you're dead and gone depends on your career and what you did with it, not you as the person you are. The only other way one becomes famous without using their careers to acquire that fame is to become a criminal, but then it's not fame it's just notoriety. It's how this society works. Any recognition you get outside of that is simply the 15-minute variety the late Andy Warhol used to speak of.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
