Really, I think of fame as distracting; it's something you have to get around.

Fame is a can of worms I haven't really had to contend with.

Fame is a very confusing thing, because you are recognized by a lot of people that you've never seen before, and they're at a great advantage.

I often say fame is kind of like a drug or like sugar: when it's controlling you it doesn't feel good at all.

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.

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.

Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.

Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.

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

Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
