Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.

It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes.

I've done all this stuff because it's fun. It's never been about fame.

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

Fame obviously has become a premium in everybody's life. Everybody thinks they deserve it, everybody thinks they want it and most people really don't enjoy it once they get it.

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.

As for fame, it can go to your head and you can become full of yourself.

I know that everybody is so obsessed with this idea of fame, and they think that I'm obsessed. In all honesty, I'm just doing me.
