I've never been driven by fame or money or anything like that. It's never been part of my psyche.

I don't think about my fame very much.

I don't think I ever wanted fame.

I didn't handle fame very well at first. I got a little resentful.

I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.

I didn't start making music in order to be famous.

Whatever fame came did so not because I sought it.

Fame was thrilling only until it became grueling. Money was fun only until you ran out of things to buy.

I don't like the idea that fame could mean that people can no longer relate to me.

The thing that is cool about my come up is that I dealt with fame and having money gradually. It didn't happen overnight. It was something that took a while to happen. It was something that humbled me and made me very appreciative of my blessings more than I would have been if it had happened faster and easier.
