There is such a hype and a big build up to me, and it's very hard to meet those expectations. That's been a big stress in my life.

You know when there's someone new on the rise and there's too much hype? I didn't want that to be me.

I'm completely removed from any hype that comes my way.

I fell for my own hype. I had too many people saying I couldn't be beat, and I actually fell for it.

I think I learned a lot about not buying into a lot of hype. I wanted to be a kind of faceless entity; I didn't want to be Dhani Harrison and the Muppets or something like that.

You never believe your own hype. As quick as somebody can be 'the guy' in Hollywood, he can be gone the next minute. For me, it's about doing great work. And then hopefully you keep working forever.

I've never been the kind of guy to hype myself up. It's just not my thing.

It destroys the soul to hear that you're all hype, that you have no talent, and that your whole career has been contrived.

You know, I had the ability like a catalyst to really get everybody hyped up.

I think towards the end of my career, I'm the man. But right now, I've still got that underdog mentality to keep on proving myself time and again. I'm not going to believe the hype.
