Quote #200654
Being a celebrity you always get really good seats to sporting events but you never get as good seats as the photographers get. And I really love sports. So one of the scams I have going now is I want to learn sports photography so I can get better seats at a sporting event.

Interpretation
Carey jokes about the perks and limits of fame: celebrities may receive preferential access, but even they can be out-positioned by professionals whose job requires proximity—in this case, sports photographers. The humor turns on a sly, self-deprecating “scam”: instead of demanding status-based privilege, he imagines earning a better vantage point by adopting a legitimate role. The line also nods to a broader truth about institutions—credentials and function often trump celebrity—and it frames fandom as a motive powerful enough to inspire reinvention, even if the stated goal is comically petty (better seats).
