Quote of the day by Ian McKellen is about how people respond to success and hardship. Sir Ian McKellen made the remark in December 2013 while speaking to the Radio Times. His comment came after actor Damian Lewis spoke about concerns that actors could become associated with certain roles and ways of speaking. McKellen responded by defending the opportunities that can come from playing roles that bring fame. His statement also raises questions about privilege, responsibility, gratitude and how successful people should respond when they face difficulties.
