There's probably no experience more alienating than fame, other than a terminal illness, where you actually find yourself in a situation that nobody around you can relate to.

I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.

When you have had the kind of fame I had, I was always hounded by the media and I lived a very isolated life. Now it's even more difficult. The world has changed dramatically.

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.

I don't like the idea that fame could mean that people can no longer relate to me.

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 didn't handle fame very well at first. I got a little resentful.

Fame didn't happen to me in my 20s, it has been a gradual thing which probably makes it easier to deal with.

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

I've always been profoundly ambivalent about fame. I think it just eats the reality out of you and it can be intoxicating because I like some of it.
