The price of fame<\/a> could be summed up in the following statement:<\/p>\n

Everybody loves you when your famous…not really. It's just that many flock to whatever is the "new. This too shall pass."<\/strong><\/p>\n

In many parts of the world, being or getting famous is not difficult to do. If you strike certain notes you may even take off like a rocket. You can thank social media for this.<\/p>\n

The reality is fame is a cost of doing what you do. It should never be a pursuit. If it is a pursuit then more than likely you're looking for something or some people to fill you up. The end of this road is often addiction.<\/p>\n

In some of the roles I've played, I garnered much applause. The inevitable end always led to an empty auditoruim. It really felt quite embarassing. Think of unrequited love <\/a>here. Thankfully, I found solid ground getting over it. I've learned the importance of just creating the best work you can.<\/p>\n

Everything else is mostly distraction.<\/p>\n
