Lukas Gage is officially dropping the mic before his book even hits shelves. Ahead of the October 14th release of “I Wrote This For Attention,” Lukas chatted with Vogue and got real about fame, accountability, and what it means to truly show up for yourself.

“I think the book is way more interesting in the places that I fail, rather than where I succeeded,” Lukas said. “Accountability is sexy and ownership is how you run away from victimhood. And I’m not going to not take accountability for my parts in things and where I fucked up.”

He also addressed the natural fear that comes with sharing your most personal stories. “I think everyone, when they first read it, was a little bit scared that they were going to be villainized or painted in a bad way. But we’re all flawed. Just like my favorite roles in movies, no one’s all good and no one’s all bad. Once they read the book, they felt a lot better about it.”

Lukas didn’t shy away from giving us a peek at his literary inspirations either. “Demi Moore’s is one of the top ones for me, and Julia Fox’s. She’s so raw and so honest, and she’s a beautiful writer.”

When it comes to attention, Lukas is unapologetic but intentional. “I do want attention, I just want it in different ways now. I don’t want only to be a provocateur. If anything, the best thing that can happen is someone can read this book and feel seen. But, yes, I do want attention.”

And don’t worry, this isn’t the last we’ll hear from him. Asked if he’d ever write another memoir, Lukas teased, “Yeah. I just think next time I’m going to hide it for a while so I can get a lot more time with it. I write poetry too, so maybe there’ll be, like, a slutty poetry book. For people with short attention spans.”

I Wrote This For Attention drops October 14th via Simon & Schuster, and trust, you’re going to want to grab your copy.
