Fame makes me feel wanted and loved, anybody wants that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 want fame more than I can tell. But more than I want fame I want happiness.
Fame doesn't make me any different. I am the same man now who grew up in the hard streets of Panama. I am just myself. I always will be. Whoever wants to talks to me, talks to me. Whoever loves me, loves me for who I am.
Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.
That is what fame is, isn't it? To get the world to fall in love with you.
Fame was never something I was seeking in my artistic journey. It's to be used as a tool for an artist to break open doors and keep creating. That's how I enjoyed fame in '74; it was not just for the emptiness of being famous.
Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Everybody wants their fame. They long for it, and I think they don't much care how they get it - to attract attention to themselves.
I don't think fame is that important to me.
I don't think I ever wanted fame.
