Charlie Hunnam believes success is having the ability to keep moving forward and going to work. Asked about the most futile aspect of being a star, Hunnam told select media including IANS here: "I would say almost everything about being famous is somewhat futile and irrelevant. Fame should be the perfume of great deeds. I've been in this business for 20 years and it seems the defining characteristic that determines success in this business is the desire to be a storyteller with purity and authenticity."

"Success in this business is predicated on wanting to do as good a job and being compelled to tell stories and those that come in coveting fame and money and all the trappings of that tend to crash and burn really quickly."
