I don't think that Michael Jackson died. He's probably dead now, but I don't think he died when they said he did. I think he wanted out of the game anyway, so he just disappeared.
I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.
The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.
I actually am a Kardashian fan. But I found myself at a point where I started to become sick of it.
I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy.
I'm supposed to be famous, but I don't think I like it so much.
I have made noise enough in the world already, perhaps too much, and am now getting old, and want retirement.
I find I like the spotlight for a very brief period of time... and I sort of need it. But then, the minute that it's done, I have to sort of go hide. So I was never really meant, I think, to be a performer for a living.
I lost interest in being in the public eye.
The highest levels of fame in the entertainment business are geared toward keeping the artist disconnected, disinterested and continuing to make product and not developing any sort of 'normal life.'
I enjoyed every moment, but we'd been everywhere, done everything. I wanted to get back to being just Dave Clark, not Dave Clark Celebrity.
I'm starting to understand why certain people in the entertainment business reach a point where they say, 'I'm not going to do any more interviews.' I definitely understand that.
I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s, when my career started, but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore, and people kind of understood that and left me alone.
As a famous person you think how you're gonna end it, get away and have a normal life.
On the street, on the train - I pull my hat down, and nobody knows it's me. I always wanted the kind of fame that came with an off button.
These days, with 'American Idol' and all the other reality shows, young people become famous overnight, and that can be very difficult to handle, the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.
I'm tired of the industry, tired of playing the whole game - the dressing up, the red carpet. I hate talking about myself.
I want to do things in my community, get out of the public eye, just be normal. You get your 15 minutes of fame, I hear, and I've had 14. The clock's ticking.
I am sick and tired of publicity. I want no more of it. It puts me in a bad light. I just want to be forgotten.
Sometimes I get a little exhausted by shows or movies that are constantly throwing famous people on. And I find it so much more exciting to not have that when I'm watching something. I think it allows you to get more lost in something and also to bring more attention to more unknown or less recognizable people.
When you're an experienced celeb - which I am - you sometimes just need a bit of space, when you're not 'on'. I'm always on!
Inevitably people will get tired of me. People get tired of everyone except Jimmy Stewart. I'm not saying Jimmy Stewart would get tired of me, I'm just saying people will never get tired of Jimmy Stewart.
Sometimes I'm uncomfortable with the level of fame I've got! It all depends on the day and what's going on. I don't desire any more fame. I don't need it.
In the beginning, I loved being famous, but now I am tired of it and I would like to go back to my freedom.
I don't get hyped when I see stars now because it's like second nature to me.
