    he’s rich. he never has to worry about anything in his life. he doesn’t “need” a comeback.

    so he has to do is chill and enjoy life. and he’s still not happy???

      He’s an actor. He needs an an audience. He wants to be remembered positively, hopefully for a very long time.

          I think what the above commenter wants to say is that it’s not about greed but the attention. I think of HP Baxter from Scooter. Looong past his peak, but when you see his show live you see that he simply loves to be on stage with the crowd cheering and dancing. I don’t wanna defend attention whores in general, just explaining it a bit.
