But once I acclimated and really used fame for what it was offering me as a tool to serve my life purpose of inspiring and contributing, then it started to get fun again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think fame became exciting for me in the late '90s because I could actually use it as a means to an end. I could actually have it help me serve my vocationfulness.
I equate fame towards people who know your work, people who will see your work. But all that stuff, like with the Genies and stuff like that, it was so much fun. It's so much fun and it's nice when it comes, but that's not what it's all about.
I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.
I wanted fame, but I thought it would be incremental, and I became afraid of the overnight-sensation thing.
I think the fame aspect, there was definitely a period when I had to get used to it. My family had to get used to it, too. It's exciting.
The whole business of getting famous was good fun, but it was a long time ago.
It was such a turning point to find that I had a talent and I had something to contribute, somewhere.
Whatever fame came did so not because I sought it.
I've done all this stuff because it's fun. It's never been about fame.
Fame introduced me to a world of instant gratification and decadence I hadn't seen before.
