Success? You can’t get a big head about it. When people stare at me, they could be whispering to their friend, ‘That guy sucks! Have you seen him before? He’s horrible.’
Meaning of the quote
David Spade reminds us that even when we are successful, we should not become arrogant or think too highly of ourselves. Just because people are looking at us, it doesn't mean they are impressed or think we are great. They may actually be criticizing us or saying negative things behind our backs. We should stay humble and not let success go to our heads.
