Oh, you know, I think it was definitely a little pressure, to remake something like 'Fame'.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted fame, but I thought it would be incremental, and I became afraid of the overnight-sensation thing.
From the first time I did a movie, people have said, 'Oh, it's all going to change now.' And it would change, but very incrementally. I think I prefer that to some big explosion of fame all of the sudden.
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.
The acting life is different than I thought it would be. I love it - it's actually a lot less pressure than I thought it would be.
Even if I weren't in Hollywood, I would feel pressure to look a certain way.
It's an immense amount of pressure, celebrity itself.
I think fame makes people a bit nervous.
Fame was not at all what it was cracked up to be, as far as I was concerned.
I think it is a wonderful process of transformation from an actress to a producer.
It was being young and sensitive and an actor. There was a lot of pressure, everything was a hurdle.
