John Legend on fame: 'It's unrealistic if you don't know what the real world is like'

Singer-songwriter John Legend has revealed that he doesn't expect to match the success of his song 'All Of Me' because it was such a hit single and most artists are lucky to experience that only once in their career. 

Talking to Courier Mail recently, the star admitted that he won't put that kind of pressure on himself now because it takes away from the creative process if you're always actively trying to craft something that will be a global success:

"I didn't ever try to pressure myself to match the commercial success of 'All Of Me'; it can't get much bigger than that song and you should be grateful for that success."

He went on to discuss fame and added that he's glad he was an adult when he stepped out into the spotlight: "I think it was helpful for me to become famous when I was an adult already; I was twenty-six years old. I think it's harder for people that become famous when they're a lot younger because you never had to be an adult without being in this very unrealistic world. It is unrealistic if you don't know what the real world is like and me having lived in the real world for a while was very helpful."
