Fame is a by-product. It's not a goal. What matters is loving your work and loving what you do.

Fame is a form of misunderstanding.

Fame and success have brought me everything, except a loving, on-going relationship. I seem to eat people up and destroy them no matter how hard I try to make things work. Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat, screaming with fear because I'm so alone. That's why I go out looking for someone who will love me, even if it's just for a one-night stand.

Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.

Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.

For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I'm doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can't sleep - I haven't slept for three days.
