Interpretation
The line expresses a paradox about desire: intense wanting can create anxiety, self-consciousness, or neediness that blocks the very outcome one seeks. When the craving drops away—through detachment, distraction, or acceptance—one may act more naturally, appear less desperate, and become more open to opportunities, making success or connection more likely. In a Warholian register, it also hints at the fickleness of fashion and attention: the moment you stop chasing a trend or approval, it may arrive on its own, as if desire itself were the obstacle. The quote resonates with ideas of nonattachment, but framed in a wry, modern, consumer-culture idiom.
