I'm sure fame is yet to come; however, it's not my ultimate goal. I really just want to be able to tell stories, and create, and do it for a living.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have an ambition to write a great book, but that's really a competition with myself. I've noticed that a lot of young writers, people in all media, want to be famous but they don't really want to do anything. I can't think of anything less worth striving for than fame.
I had no preconceived idea what fame would be like, because I never thought I would be famous. I just wanted to do my work. Hell, I just wanted to pay my rent on time.
Thank God I've never had the sort of intense fame that means you can't walk up the road. That sort of blazing stardom must be difficult to cope with and maintain; my career has just bubbled along happily.
I don't have a problem with fame. I got into this business intending to be very successful, but I wanted it to be at my price.
I would love to have a career that's governed by the material; I always want to be part of stories that I feel are worthwhile.
Most of all, I love being a storyteller. And yes, I want to make a good living, but I'm not always driven by the best commercial sense.
All fame ever does for you is get attention for the work you really want to do.
I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.
I want to make the most out of the word 'fame.' I want to do good things with my fame, or whatever it is. I want to help and do charity work.
I'm already more famous than I want to be. And yet at the same time, fame feeds your potential as a creative person. You're in a vacuum if you don't have a certain amount of fame.
