Fame was not at all what it was cracked up to be, as far as I was concerned.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fame is a can of worms I haven't really had to contend with.
I think fame is hard in any capacity. It's so fleeting; it's not anything that you can really grab.
Fame is a delicate and dangerous creature; I saw people who didn't honor it, who refused to take responsibility for it, get destroyed by it. I also saw that stardom in and of itself was empty.
I think that being thrown into instant fame must be, at times, difficult.
Fame was never something I was seeking in my artistic journey. It's to be used as a tool for an artist to break open doors and keep creating. That's how I enjoyed fame in '74; it was not just for the emptiness of being famous.
Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.
Fame is a curse... it was the worst phase of my life, which I thank God I'll never have to go through again.
Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!
Fame obviously has become a premium in everybody's life. Everybody thinks they deserve it, everybody thinks they want it and most people really don't enjoy it once they get it.
Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
