Did he really win? His kids all hate him, his wives all left him, he has no real friends. Anyone he interacts with is purely after money and power they can get from him. He spends all day being angry on twitter.com.

Is that winning?

I think the point of the Rogen quote is that there's no real way to win. This is not cope by the not mega-rich and famous. It's an inevitable result of wanting universal acclaim.

Rogen quote? I don't know what that is.

I think you're over-complicating this.

It's literally just Score Points.

That's all he cares about.
