I wanted fame, but I thought it would be incremental, and I became afraid of the overnight-sensation thing.

I was definitely not the kid that just wanted to be famous for no reason whatsoever and then happened to find comedy. Fame and all that stuff have always been slightly terrifying to me, and it makes me very anxious.

Fame made me develop a panic disorder.

Fame is a curse... it was the worst phase of my life, which I thank God I'll never have to go through again.

I think the fame aspect, there was definitely a period when I had to get used to it. My family had to get used to it, too. It's exciting.

Fame has become this obsession for people, which kind of creeps me out.

I think fame became exciting for me in the late '90s because I could actually use it as a means to an end. I could actually have it help me serve my vocationfulness.

Fame is a lot of fun, but it's not interesting. I loved being noticed and praised, even the banquets. But they didn't have anything that I wanted. After about six months, I found it boring.

You know, I did not like being famous. It was a stressful and ugly time, and I'm glad it's over.
