One thing I think celebrities shy away from is exposing the reality that we're all the same. Somebody's not more important because they have a Bentley or a big house or a famous boyfriend or plastic surgery - we're all the same.
There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers great actors great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that because I'm 24 I don't have a family I don't need to make tons of money and I'm not dying to get famous.
I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the earth because I figure a) They pay my salary and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say 'Just come on up.'
I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.
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.
On the other hand when I give it closer thought I realize I'm not enough of a dictator to conduct an orchestra because it requires a pretty awful person. When you read these biographies of famous conductors they are all awful people who fail in their private relationships.
For somebody famous it's weird anyway to meet someone because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.
When I first became famous I didn't know if I could go where I wanted to because I didn't know how people were going to act. Some folks would scream and holler and I didn't know what to do with that.
You know I think Jesus was famous and also in a lot of trouble because he always chose people over sort of established procedures.
And I don't want to live anywhere where I am famous. It makes me very very uncomfortable because it conveys an advantage over people and I don't like that.
