Carlos Castaneda Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 There’s a reason why geniuses like J.D. Salinger and Axl Rose turned into recluses. It’s not that they couldn’t deal with the pressures of fame. It’s that they were singularly extraordinary, and they quickly realized that the rest of the world is stupid.

sailaway Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Enjoying your down time isn't an issue in my perception of things,introspection is a key to creativity.It's the people that aren't comfortable being alone that I disrespect a bit.

It’s not that they couldn’t deal with the pressures of fame. It’s that they were singularly extraordinary, and they quickly realized that the rest of the world is stupid.Salinger had his circle of friends in Cornish NH that protected his privacy. He wasn't a recluse. Same with Harper Lee. Most writers are pretty solitary by nature. But Axl did make Life's photo gallery of famous recluses. http://www.life.com/gallery/39122/image/3438562/out-of-sight-famous-recluses#index/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Axl Rose wasn't a recluse so what the fuck are they talking about? Celebrities and their fans have this thing where like, if someones famous and they don't have a camera stuck in their arse 24/7 it makes them a recluse. It's like all them celebrities go "oh no, i can't escape my fame, i can't escape my fame" but the fact is you can, very easily, all you've got to do is not court it, many, like Axl, have done it and when they do they're called reclusive but i don't think it really qualifies. Johnny Depp is a good example of someone that, when he wants to be about town, he's about town and when he don't you don't see him but that don't mean he's at home with the doors barricaded.Same with loads and loads of hugely famous people.
