Really, I think of fame as distracting; it's something you have to get around.

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 an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it's really not bad.

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.

What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.

Fame is a can of worms I haven't really had to contend with.

Fame is hollow. It amplifies what is there. If there is any self-doubt, or hatred, or lack of ability to connect with people, fame will magnify it.

Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.

Fame is a by-product which you have to deal with in a sensible way. To believe that it is anything more significant than that is deeply self-deceptive.

Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.
