[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he comes off as a boring person who talks too much about his ambition as if it's unique, important and praiseworthy. I saw one acceptance speech for his Bob Dylan role where he talked about how he wanted to be one of the greats. The thrust of the speech was about his ambition. I found it to be a turnoff. Who cares? We're not your mom or dad, there to praise your efforts. Furthermore, it's not unique. Everyone at his level has a burning ambition. Many, many people are ambitious in their fields. I remember thinking he's immature, self-centered and boring. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought so.

So I think think his comment was just another notch on his belt for clueless, immature comments. It was again about his ambition! Shut up about it.

Ballet and opera (and symphony) have had small audiences since the 20th century. They haven't been mainstream for a hundred years or more. Yet there are people who devote their careers to them and people who like and support them. It's like poetry, it's still around but the audience is small and the books are few. The same can be said for many art forms and crafts or disciplines like classics or philosophy. Still, these things can be beautiful and meaningful even if they do not have popular appeal. Many of the participants have huge ambitions for these art forms, just as he does!

He is just a bore and a boor. He needs to stop talking too. There was a reason the old studio system created a mystique around stars. If you know too much about them, you might not like the real person.

It's a case of keep your mouth shut rather opening it and putting your mouth in it.[/quote]

They have contracts obligating them to give interviews and go on podcasts and to events. I don't disagree that it should change.[/quote]
He didn't have to talk that way when accepting an award though. Plus he needs better media/PR training. [/quote]

Why? To say something totally bland and boring? [/quote]

It’s a choice. If you want to be positively recognized by your peers and paymasters you can either be appreciative in acknowledging the recognition or be one of the best in the world at whatever it is that you do. Timothee seems to be neither.  His entertaining quips get a very different type of attention from very different groups of people. If he’s fine with that, then great. His face dropped a bit though,  so maybe he’d like to work out a better balance.  [/quote]
