Rohok, yeah, I agree.
I recently skimmed through a book Larry King wrote about how to interview people and become a better communicator. He said a mistake in interviewing celebrities is to say, "I was gonna be an actor/TV star/author/NBA player..." because it basically belittles the other person's hard work and years of experience.
It's like saying, "Hey, if you can do this stuff, anyone can do it."
