Fame

I said ‘Daddy I wanna be a rockstar,’ and he said ‘Go be a rockstar.’ So I figured it out. In downtown New York and really in New York everywhere, really in the world, you have the ability to self proclaim your own fame. You have the ability to experience and feel a certain amount of self worth that comes from a very vain place simply by your choices. Your opinions about fashion, your opinions about music, your opinions about politics. The way you walk down the street, the way you carry yourself at parties. You can literally choose to have fame.
