Nothing is more despicable than to reach fame by crawling, position by cringing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
He who would acquire fame must not show himself afraid of censure. The dread of censure is the death of genius.
Talent, like beauty, to be pardoned, must be obscure and unostentatious.
I think that being thrown into instant fame must be, at times, difficult.
Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.

To be a celebrity, I couldn't think of anything more cringe-worthy.
