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

Fame is something I think happens as a result of trying to do good work. If you're trying to be famous, your work usually suffers.

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.

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.

Fame is like the dessert that comes with your achievements - it's not an achievement in itself, but sometimes it can overpower the work.

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

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

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 a lot of pressure, especially when you're responsible for your entire family. Financially, emotionally - everything.
