I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know? And for the last 20 years - you've got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and then go on your merry way and start again, in a sense, and that's what I've been doing.

Becoming famous is a really shocking thing, especially when you don't have aspirations to it. It got to the point where I would try and avoid making eye contact with anyone. It was freaky, and it just happened overnight. I couldn't handle it.

My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame.

Once you become famous, you can't become unfamous. You can become a failure.

When you're famous, you're always famous. It doesn't go away.

I never got into things to be famous. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's annoying.

I was suddenly really famous, and I didn't know how to cope. I didn't know myself well enough as a person, number one, and as an actor, number two. I wanted to escape.

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.
