It's not always about the money and the fame, and a lot of people think that it is sometimes.

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.

People don't realize that we, we meaning people in show business, have the same problems as everyone else. Money doesn't change that. Fame doesn't change that. Sometimes that brings on more problems. You know, it's just a different kind of problems.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are affected more by the idea of fame than the actual work ethic involved. A lot of them just want to be reality TV-type people who don't do anything.

It's very hard to get rich and famous at a young age and handle it well.

I think people imagine that your fame somehow sort of equates with how much you get paid.

One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up for missing out on my childhood. But the idea of money - putting a price on your childhood - is ridiculous. You will never get those years back and you can't put a price on them.

I think, most of the time, fame is just an inconvenience that needs to be negotiated around to get done what you're actually trying to do.

Many young artists, they look at the art world and think they can make a lot of money.

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.
