There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person's lifestyle that really isn't suited to me.
I'm doing a new musical on Broadway which opens in October called 'The Boy from Oz ' where I play Peter Allen. For those of you who don't know he became first famous in America for marrying Liza Minelli.
It's interesting because people assume that because I'm famous I know all famous people.
I have been very happy very rich very beautiful much adulated very famous and very unhappy.
The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality.
Whenever you're the child of a famous person you get judged in odd ways because of that.
I became very famous as a teenager and my name and photo were splashed in all the media. They made me larger than life so I wanted to live larger than life and the only way to do that was to be intoxicated.
Sometimes people offer you plays they offer you parts but they only offer it because I'm famous.
Dates with actors finally just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became the more I narrowed down my choices.
I love being famous. It's almost like being white.
I was a very interested arts student I was always into that part of school and when I got into high school I went into architectural drafting. It gave me an understanding of how to build things and it's really helped me put things in perspective. With my music and my movies to me it's all art.
