“I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.”

David Bowie

Simplified Meaning:

Some people believe they can become famous or successful very quickly and easily, almost like making instant food by just adding water and stirring. Think about instant noodles: you just add hot water and they're ready to eat in minutes. The quote suggests that becoming a star can be that simple, but in reality, it's much more complex and requires hard work, skill, and sometimes even luck. For example, someone might think that posting a few videos online will make them an overnight celebrity. While this does happen occasionally, most famous people have put in years of hard work and faced many challenges before reaching success. The quote humorously points out that the idea of instant fame is unrealistic. If you want to achieve something great, like becoming a musician or an athlete, you need to practice for many years, improve your skills, and face obstacles. Just like cooking a real meal takes time and effort compared to instant noodles, achieving true success and becoming a star in your field requires dedication and perseverance.
