As for fame, it can go to your head and you can become full of yourself.

I want fame more than I can tell. But more than I want fame I want happiness.

Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.

Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.

That's what fame does to you. You acquire another self.

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.

Well, any time you're faced with fame on that level, it's - it can be somewhat unnerving because you're never taught how to manage it and how to deal with it. So you're sort of left out there on your own, trying to navigate those waters for yourself.

People care about my fame, not me. But that's fine. I have my own life.

You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.

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.
