Quote

Fame is a can of worms I haven't really had to contend with.

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

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

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.

I think, most of the time, fame is just an inconvenience that needs to be negotiated around to get done what you're actually trying to do.

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 is like a big piece of meringue - it's beautiful, and you keep eating it, but it doesn't really fill you up.

Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!
