Older Journal Excerpt - Being Famous

"Being a famous artist is a lot more restricting than I thought. If you’re Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, you’re work is your prison. Your movement is restrictive, restricted, and limited. As a matter of fact, that doesn’t just go for celebrity artist. It goes for celebrities in general. I’ve begun to understand what Damon Albarn meant when he said “In America, they box you in”. You’re not allowed to act outside of your fans set of expectations for you, and if you do act outside that line, it upsets the fans and they want to punish you “for being a talk show host” or “pundit”."
