Fame and success and titles stay with you, but they wear out eventually. In the end, all that you are left with is your character.

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 terrifies me. I can say that with honesty. You're terrified that, when people know the real you, they won't like you.

The problem with fame is you no longer belong to you. You lose your persona and become the object of other people's obsession. I feel watched 90% of the time, but that is something I drew with the cards that I drew.

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

Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don't see yourself.

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.

It's very hard not to let fame affect you because you are continually being told how good you are. After a while you begin to think there must be some truth in it because all those people can't be wrong.

With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else's ideas about you, but what's important is how you feel about yourself - for survival and living day to day with what comes up.

You want to live your own life, but when you have fame, there are certain things you can't get away with.
