The measure ov overexposure is not how many times people see you on TV or in the bookstores. It's whether you can maintain the quality of your entertainment. If you can, people will always be glad to see you.

People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what's bitter and move on.
