Fame comes and fame goes, but you have to be able to laugh about yourself and to take it with a grain of salt.

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 is something I think happens as a result of trying to do good work. If you're trying to be famous, your work usually suffers.

Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.

Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase.

I think fame comes from actually doing something big with your career.

It's very confusing when fame comes early on in your career. You get a little bit bent out of shape in terms of what's important. Fame is like the dessert that comes with your achievements - it's not an achievement in itself, but sometimes it can overpower the work.

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.

What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.

If you're lucky enough to be famous, then it's great if you can use your fame and the power your fame gives you to draw attention to things that really matter.
