Fame was thrilling only until it became grueling. Money was fun only until you ran out of things to buy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
The whole business of getting famous was good fun, but it was a long time ago.
Fame introduced me to a world of instant gratification and decadence I hadn't seen before.
I learned a long time ago that fame and money is not a ticket to happiness.
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 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.
When I was young, it wasn't about the money, it wasn't about the fame and fortune, it was about playing football.
Fame is a lot of fun, but it's not interesting. I loved being noticed and praised, even the banquets. But they didn't have anything that I wanted. After about six months, I found it boring.
I've never been driven by fame or money or anything like that. It's never been part of my psyche.
It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes.
