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 a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.
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.
Fame does different things to different people. For some people it makes them a better person.
Fame means millions of people have the wrong idea of who you are.
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 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 terrifies me. I can say that with honesty. You're terrified that, when people know the real you, they won't like you.
Fame is a by-product which you have to deal with in a sensible way. To believe that it is anything more significant than that is deeply self-deceptive.
