Christopher Meloni

I really love to act; I love everything about it. I've never had this addiction to being known. I mean, sure, if you go into acting, there's part of you that is saying, 'I want attention' but I was brought up to work to deserve attention, and it is the work, not the trappings that are important.

American Actor

Erica Durance

I regard the 'Descendants' as a melodrama, and all scenes have been the trappings to increase the element of romance, I thought. In that sense, I am very satisfied and have great respect for the decisions of the writers.

South Korean Actor

Guy Kawasaki

What I learned from my kids is that the greatest joy in life is not from material trappings, power, or visibility. The greatest joy comes from your kids. Nothing is even close to my kids in terms of bringing me joy.

American Businessman

Al Jarreau

It's always been about making music. I've never gotten caught up with the trappings. You can't get caught up in the limousines and the chicks. The most important thing is the music.

Randeep Hooda

I'm going to be acting all my life. But, while doing that, I will try to avoid the trappings of fame.

The trappings of lifestyle are often that; traps.

Trappings often represent status or success in society, including luxury items or prestigious symbols.

Status Symbols

Trappings can vary by culture, reflecting different symbols of importance or achievement.

Cultural Importance

Sometimes 'trappings' is used critically to suggest superficiality or materialism.

Not Always Positive

Trappings in this context are tailored to specific activities, often necessary items or equipment.
