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.

Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, Fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle.

It stirs up envy, fame does. People feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you - and it won't hurt your feelings - like it's happening to your clothing.

Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.

Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.

Fame is like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have it at every meal.
