I never wanted to be famous. I want to be more famous than I am so I can get the roles. I hate losing the roles. I was famous more for being around people who were famous, and I hate that kind of fame.
The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous.

Life is tough and it's tough whether you're famous or not famous. And in the end it's probably better to be famous because the perks are better.

There's a lot of things, indulgences that you don't get, if you're not famous. Now I'm not saying it's fair. But I can't say that I don't enjoy it.
I want to be famous so I can be humble about being famous. What good is my humility when I am stuck in this obscurity?
