Rap superstar Kanye West has revealed that he finds fame incredibly taxing and feels incredibly lucky to have such a great family that help him to stay grounded.

During a chat with Interview magazine, the 'Heartless' sensation explained that it's very easy to fall prey to the dark side of celebrity and he credits his loved ones with providing such a solid anchor:

"Well, I've got my astronaut family. You know, becoming famous is like being catapulted into space - sometimes without a space suit. We've seen so many people combust, suffocate, get lost in all these different things. But to have an anchor of other astronauts and to make a little space family..."  

"I mean, it's not like I'm the guy in 'The Hunger Games' begging for people to like me. I'm almost the guy with the least amount of 'likes'. I wanted a family. So god gives you opportunities, and you make sacrifices for something that's greater."
