Simplified Meaning:

When you're famous, people often don't expect you to be perfect all the time. If you say something boring, people usually think *they* didn't understand what you said, instead of thinking *you're* boring. This happens because they assume you must always have something interesting to say since you're well-known. Imagine a big movie star talking at a party. Even if they tell a dull story, the people listening might think they just don't get it because the star is so important. They might blame themselves for not finding it interesting, instead of thinking the star said something unexciting. For regular folks, if you want people to keep listening to you, it helps to be famous or very successful. People give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you have something valuable to share. So, to apply this to your life, build a good reputation and people might be more patient and think more highly of what you say.
