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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.
Fame does different things to different people. For some people it makes them a better person.
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 something I think happens as a result of trying to do good work. If you're trying to be famous, your work usually suffers.
Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.
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, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.
Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.
