Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy.
I don't want to be the dude that you just think about with a crazy suit, talking crap, fighting in these super fights and driving a Rolls-Royce.
It's a vain craft, acting.

The right-wing just loves making a big entrance.

I don't like showboating. I was never a fan of showing off.
Airs of importance are the credentials of impotence.
I've always been a bit of a poser. I was chucked out of ballet lessons for looking in the mirror.
I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.
And I think there is too much bloviating around from politicians.
