There's probably no experience more alienating than fame, other than a terminal illness, where you actually find yourself in a situation that nobody around you can relate to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Slowly but surely, I went through different phases of fame, and each rises you further into isolation and alienation.
Well, any time you're faced with fame on that level, it's - it can be somewhat unnerving because you're never taught how to manage it and how to deal with it. So you're sort of left out there on your own, trying to navigate those waters for yourself.
I don't like the idea that fame could mean that people can no longer relate to me.
Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.
I've always been profoundly ambivalent about fame. I think it just eats the reality out of you and it can be intoxicating because I like some of it.
I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory, but it can be a very isolating experience.
Thank God I've never had the sort of intense fame that means you can't walk up the road. That sort of blazing stardom must be difficult to cope with and maintain; my career has just bubbled along happily.
To me, the whole idea of fame and I think it can be a real test of somebody, of who they are. You know, 'cause some strange things happen. I've seen some peculiar things as far as a person just living their life.
As for fame, it can go to your head and you can become full of yourself.
Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it's really not bad.
