It would be extremely hard for me to accept all the glory, riches, and responsibilities that accompany stardom and fame, if I had not truly earned it. I am a simple layperson right now and have no idea how a famous person should conduct herself. Not only would I not be able to behave like a star, but I would have nothing to offer my potential fan base. I would be famous solely for existing. Therefore, while wealth and fame are certainly desirable, they are only for the deserving who work hard every day and truly earn their titles and names for themselves.

No, because I am a very private person, and I don't want my life out there for all the world to see. When Danielle Steele first started writing, she did not show her face on her book covers. There is much speculation about why she did this, from that she had bad skin and teeth to her just wanting to preserve her privacy. I've been offered a recording contract, and I turned it down, because I don't want to be famous. I wouldn't mind being rich, but not famous.

It depends what kind of fame. If I were to be famous because of an embarassing or humiliating scandal, I would decline in a heart beat. But if it is a positive kind of fame, of course I will accept it. It's not because I love fame, but I'm a practical person. Despite its many problems, fame can open doors and gives many chance to do something I wouldn't have the opportunity to do otherwise, such as having a cooking show of my own, greasing the way to publish a book (my dream), or getting a better job. I can also meet new people outside my social circle now.

On the other hand, I must be prepared to handle my fame wisely and understand the consequences of fame.

It would be the circumstances of why it was offerd to me ?? Did I earn it or was it just handed to me on a golden platter. If fame was given to me I want to do something that changed the world , not just have it handed over to me!!I am just that kind of woman, Honest one!!
