I didn't want to be known. People say, 'I didn't want to toil in obscurity.' I like toiling in obscurity.
I got a little bit famous. I didn't like it.
I'd become a bit of a joke. People would make memes, chopping my head off in a group photo and putting a monster or ET on there. I'd be in live Q&As and these things would pop up and I'd have to just sit there.
OK, so I'm not famous for the right reasons.
I don't know how I became controversy's favourite child.
Many parents and teachers have become irritated to the point of distraction at the way the weed-style growth of 'like' has spread through the idiom of the young. And it's true that in some cases the term has become simultaneously a crutch and a tic, driving out the rest of the vocabulary as candy expels vegetables.
Even if you don't like me, you know me because I'm just in your face.
I am a reluctant celebrity, in some ways.
I'm sorry that it was all so successful. I honestly didn't mean it to happen like that. It's hardly surprising that people grew to hate me.
You want success, and then when you do get it, you don't want it because of the attention.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
I mean I was famous for nothing.
Mantle didn't want to stick out, but he did. He didn't wish to be treated as special, but he was. He was uncomfortable being the center of attention, but he was the centerfielder for the most famous franchise in sports.
It was a dark period of my life when William Hung was the most famous Asian man.
Popularity is a crime from the moment it is sought; it is only a virtue where men have it whether they will or no.
I must be the only artist whose image was hated by everybody.
I, sort of, got into comedy accidentally, and it got bigger than I wanted it to.
'LOVE' bit me. It was a marvelous idea, but it was also a terrible mistake. It became too popular; it became too popular.
You know when there's someone new on the rise and there's too much hype? I didn't want that to be me.
