I think people imagine that your fame somehow sort of equates with how much you get paid.

The thing that is cool about my come up is that I dealt with fame and having money gradually. It didn't happen overnight. It was something that took a while to happen. It was something that humbled me and made me very appreciative of my blessings more than I would have been if it had happened faster and easier.

I feel like fame is wasted on me.

I wasn't brought up to be dazzled by money or fame.

No one asked me to be an actor, so no one owed me. There was no entitlement.

I made enough money to buy a house. That's crazy, but fame proved ephemeral.

I do believe that I deserve what I have. I don't think I'm entitled to it. That's a big difference.

Whatever fame came did so not because I sought it.

I had no preconceived idea what fame would be like, because I never thought I would be famous. I just wanted to do my work. Hell, I just wanted to pay my rent on time.
