Fame comes and fame goes, but you have to be able to laugh about yourself and to take it with a grain of salt.

Fame terrifies me. I can say that with honesty. You're terrified that, when people know the real you, they won't like you.

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

I don't want to take fame for granted because that is when you start to think you are better than everyone else. That is when you start thinking that you are someone that you are not.

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 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.

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.

It's very hard not to let fame affect you because you are continually being told how good you are. After a while you begin to think there must be some truth in it because all those people can't be wrong.

Fame doesn't redeem you. It takes a long time to get there, and when you're finally there, you realise you still have authority figures telling you what to do.
