Fame can be very dangerous, because you can start to enjoy that part of it. And that's not the good part of what I do for a living. The good part is the making of films. The unpleasant part is the fame part, if you're not careful.

Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it's really not bad.

I guess I don't have a proper perspective on my fame; if I did, I don't think I'd like it.

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.

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

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

I don't really have aspirations to be Tom Hanks.
