It's sour grapes, I admit, I want to be more famous so people are examining my work couplet by couplet, you know what I mean? That's the level where I want to go. ↗

I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous. ↗

I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big, famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me. ↗
