Amidst all of these flashing lights I pray the fame won't take my life.
There were many times when I could have gone down the path of being a child star, which I know can be bad; I think, especially in L.A., it's easy to get caught up in that life.
I don't think I would live very long if I was a rock star.
People can get certain good things out of fame, but until it killed a princess nobody ever talked about how bad it can be.
Fame is a delicate and dangerous creature; I saw people who didn't honor it, who refused to take responsibility for it, get destroyed by it. I also saw that stardom in and of itself was empty.
I've seen a lot of people burn very brightly and very quickly, and I think you can become overindulgent sooo quickly in this business, and so I try not to fall into any of the trappings that would affect me very negatively.
I keep reading about people who want to be famous - it's not that they want to be great songwriters or great actors, they want to be celebrities. That is scary because you can be famous doing some really stupid things.
They don't really teach you how to be famous and a lot of people don't realise that this game comes with a lot of traps. So I'm just looking after myself, looking after my health and making sure I don't fall into those traps.
