There is nothing strange about fear: no matter in what guise it presents itself it is something with which we are all so familiar that when a man appears who is without it we are at once enslaved by him.

Poverty entails fear and stress and sometimes depression. It meets a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts that is something on which to pride yourself but poverty itself is romanticized by fools.

Fear of something is at the root of hate for others and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.

Hate is the consequence of fear we fear something before we hate it a child who fears noises becomes a man who hates noise.

The big thing that everyone forgets you're famous and on TV and everything but I think there's something very rewarding to be able to write a song record it and have it turn out as you heard it in your head or even better.

I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say.

Fame is something I think happens as a result of trying to do good work. If you're trying to be famous your work usually suffers.

I don't care how famous a guitarist is he ain't learned everything. There's always somewhere to go something to mash up but he ain't found it yet. You never learn everything on that guitar neck.

It struck me that working digitally with a small crew I could lay out a general plan for Famous and hope for mistakes which would create something more than satire and something less than truthful reality.

Well yeah. At a certain point you've got to be really honest with yourself. Like 'Why am I doing this? What are my motivations?' Like if you get into it because you want to be famous? Then you've got a long row to hoe. But if you really feel like it's a labour of love and it's something you're actually legitimately good at then it's not that hard to keep plugging away.
