A bête grise, at worst.He is not my bete noire.
Arent you succesful yourself?if by successful you mean rich, then yes it's possible. but if you mean successful in terms of being well-known, moderate celebs, then that's harder because they probably aren't one person anymore, they start to live a dual life, personal and public. they're the real person you know, but also always have their eye on their public image, cognizant of what they always need to say or do to maintain the public persona. then you start wondering which is the real person. maybe neither.
I have some succesful friends from childhood. Being in different cities makes it easier though. Im definitley a freak and a loser who their wives distrusti was wondering yesterday if it's possible to be friends with a successful person. not mega successful, just moderately. i think probably not, not really.
