"That first flush of fame is like being put in a spin dryer. It is like everything and nothing you ever wanted. Very few performers are in control of their career."
Glen Tilbrook, musician (The Squeeze)
"There is nothing sadder than an old rock star. We have far too many middle-aged rock stars hanging around, clogging things up. It is a microcosm of the way the baby boomers have dragged youth culture into the grave with them."
Steven Wells, ex-NME journalist and author
“How best to explain (the impact of fame)? It is a shift that happens in the head and that very few celebrities will ever really speak about. … One begins to believe in the specialness, and a dangerous sense of entitlement takes over. … When celebrity addiction starts, you become impatient with, and even angry at necessary obstacles. You think could run a red light or two. And then you do.”
Rose O'Donnell, comedienne
The Naked Reader 2007
