You have to remember that when you are a performer you become a celebrity, but you are not saving lives. It's not that important.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The way you really find out about the performer's seriousness about the cause is how long they stay with it when the spotlight gets turned off. You see a lot of celebrities switch gears. They go from the environment to animal rights to obesity or whatever. That I don't have a lot of respect for.
In other words, the celebrity gets out of hand, and if you're not careful, you will forget what you are about - and that is you are about making music that people want to hear.
I've learned that being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb. At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they put you on, they're going to tear you down.
People tend to forget that celebrities are human beings. We live our lives. We try to do what we love, which is music. And to share it with everyone in our job usually is to entertain and to make people forget their troubles.
When you have celebrity, it's a whole different thing than being an artist.
It doesn't matter if you're famous or infamous. All that matters is you're a celebrity.
What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.
The downside of being a celebrity is that people kind of know about you, and you really don't need them to know about you - you need them to know about your work.
Nobody prepares you for what happens when you get famous, and I didn't handle it well.
Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no.'
