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 O.K. I hate it, but it's O.K. I'm beginning to understand how I can be hidden. It's an attitude.

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 a fickle thing that only lasts as long as you can be out there offering yourself to the public. And as soon as you relax for five minutes, they're gone, you know, and they're following somebody else.

Fame is hollow. It amplifies what is there. If there is any self-doubt, or hatred, or lack of ability to connect with people, fame will magnify it.

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

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