Interesting. Fame is like a skin disease, I guess.
People makes judgments before you even open your mouth. They have preconceived ideas of who you are, how you live, what you like, etc.
It's fun when it is at a very small scale, but I would not like at all being known by _millions_ of people who would/could talk to me while I walk in the streets and, the worse in my mind, talk _about_ me all the time. And there is the dark side of it: the stalkers.
I guess the rich and famous lose something that we all take for granted: their anonymity. Some of them are almost raped out of it. The star children for example...
I salute you, and I salute your efforts of trying to be one of us ordinary people again.
