Fame is a modern phenomenon caused by the explosion of media, where there's a zillion digital channels and snappers everywhere. It's so attainable, so people can have their Warhol 15 minutes of fame, and some are so aggressive.

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 damaging when people become reliant on it for their sense of self, and their identity, when fame is linked to how you see yourself.

Fame means millions of people have the wrong idea of who you are.

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

Fame is definitely a monster: it can suck you in and spit you out and change you. The biggest challenge is to remain yourself regardless of what people say about you.

Fame does different things to different people. For some people it makes them a better person.

That's one of the cool things about fame. You have an affect on society and where it goes.

You're only famous in the eyes of others. Inside, you're still the same, and not a hundred million records or TV shows can change that. I think the only pitfall of fame is believing that it means something, and behaving like that.
