its actually fucking sad - man do I NOT want to be famous - I like being nobody
Amen!
You would feel like a prisoner, seriously, locked in your house for the rest of your life....
It's a nightmare, ...especially for people like us who grew up living normal lives. Most people imagine some things would be the ultimate thrill, ...but they're only seeing one side of it. There's a whole other edge to that sword
As sad as Michael's confinement was, ...it's all he knew, but for many who didn't grow up that way, it's hell.
Even for those who steadily progressed to stardom, it kind of snuck up on them. At first they were totally jazzed to be recognized by someone, ...or asked for an autograph. They were thrilled if they got press of any sort. It was a gradual steady approach... until one day they wake up and realize the nightmare they're living.
For some stars, it's enough to drive you over the bend... even guys like Patrick Swayze who was pretty well known, ...almost didn't make it after Dirty Dancing. It's a good thing he had his wife by his side to keep him grounded. I don't think he'd have made it without her.
