I don't think about my fame very much.

Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.

I don't really care about having more fame than I have.

Fame means millions of people have the wrong idea of who you are.

Fame is damaging when people become reliant on it for their sense of self, and their identity, when fame is linked to how you see yourself.

I don't think fame is that important to me.

It's very hard not to let fame affect you because you are continually being told how good you are. After a while you begin to think there must be some truth in it because all those people can't be wrong.

Fame is definitely a monster: it can suck you in and spit you out and change you. The biggest challenge is to remain yourself regardless of what people say about you.

Fame won't make you feel any better about yourself.

I've always been profoundly ambivalent about fame. I think it just eats the reality out of you and it can be intoxicating because I like some of it.
