I don't want to believe my own hype.

You're all right, as long as you don't believe your own hype.

Hype is scary.

There is such a hype and a big build up to me, and it's very hard to meet those expectations. That's been a big stress in my life.

I'm completely removed from any hype that comes my way.

The easiest way to not believe your own hype is to not know what people are saying about you.

Hype is the awkward and desperate attempt to convince journalists that what you've made is worth the misery of having to review it.

Hype is wonderful when it happens, and you should capitalize on it. But you shouldn't bank on it being the thing that will take you to the next step. Because it's fleeting. The blah-blah-blah goes away, but you're still there.

I believe that people start to get into trouble when they start to believe their own hype.
