On fame: "As soon as enough people give you enough compliments and you`re wielding more power than you`ve ever had in your life, it`s not that you become an arrogant little prick, or become rude to people ... but you get a false sense of your own importance and what you`ve accomplished. You actually think you`ve altered the course of history."
