Man, I don't got any real fans. Just fair-weather ones and groupies.
I am the outcast come home to roost and the eggs of tomorrow are incubating in my fame. You hate me, you love me, you made me, and now I am in you. I am like that disease brewing in your loins and I think you like it.
The bigger you become of a celebrity, the bigger the expectations, the pressure on you - to make change, to say what people want, to target the people they want to target. Fame is toxic; it is quite toxic.
I want to be a successful actor, never a famous star. Because one is an organic meal that will sustain you, and the other is toxic.
Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
Celebrity is a corrosive condition for the soul.
Stardom can be very destructive - particularly if you believe in it.
I have very strong feelings about what modern fame means, and the toxicity of it. I read Naomi Klein's No Logo when I was 15. It's one of the things that's shaped my relationship to fame - to endorsements, to selling things. I've taken a certain path in terms of all that stuff.
