    I have met quite a handful of famous people and can tell you, it can go either way. I gave them all the same treatment: I am not the least bit star struck, and with that in mind, I acknowledge the fact that just like you and me, they are just people. The reason they are actors/musicians/whatever, and that you and I are not, is simply that they’re obviously better at it than we are. On that note, I never once bothered one for an autograph or photograph, thinking they may already have writers cramp or are halfway blind due to flashes. As I said, with the aforementioned treatment: I treated them simply as people, their reactions can go either way. Very few of them retaliated negatively to the fact that I’m not star struck, the top three examples were Gene Simmons, George Strait and Kelly Osbourne. Even though some of us have never seen him without makeup, Gene can get quite offended if he’s not recognized. Then George Strait decided to get in my relative’s face, who was also not only not star struck, but had a short temper, and George become quite shocked when the same exact thing immediately happened to him in return. And if any of you ever meet Kelly Osbourne, take my advice, do not jump up and down, point a finger and say ‘Oh my God, it’s Jack’s sister!’ Anyway, for the most part, most of the famous people I’ve met seemed to really like and be relieved at the fact that I wasn’t getting overly giddy and/or talking up a storm to them like we had known each other for 10 years, or playing a round of 20 questions about their personal life, or upcoming projects, so what questions are left to ask? Well, you have to be creative. Perhaps they were simply enjoying the fact that I was treating them like I said they were: a person.
