I couldn’t imagine walking through a huge crowd, completely surrounded by police and security, and it’s all because of me. All because people are legitimate fans of me. I mean, damn, how cool would something like that be?

I’ll never know, nor am I interested in being that level of famous, but it’s gotta have ya feeling pretty good.
