The Great Kate

Have my baby Dawson! I love you Dawson! You're everywhere and nowhere Dawson! Take me with you Dawson!

There’s a lot more money to be made off of them than there was when I was famous. I mean, I don’t know. I just don’t judge. It’s very easy. People love to judge. People love to be self-righteous. They get a lot of energy from that. Listen: Fame is not hard. Right? Being a soldier is hard, digging ditches is hard, coal mining is hard. But it’s tricky. It’s not something you can ever get any sympathy for, nor should you, and it’s not something you can really explain to someone who hasn’t gone through it. But it’s tricky because ... you’re the same. You feel generally like the same person, but the behavior of everyone around you starts to change.

You'd get some poor 13-year-old girl who’s shaking, she’s got her moment and she’s taking the picture with you, and the dad goes, “One, two, three” — but he has neglected to wind the camera. So then the poor girl just wants to crawl in a hole and disappear at this point. She goes [in an embarrassed teen voice], “Dad, you have to wind it.” And then they have those stupid flash bulbs, where you have to push the stupid flash button and you have to wait for the red light to start blinking before the flash would work. I gave more tutorials to dads in front of mortified girls on how to use those disposable cameras … So thank God for the iPhone in that respect.
