There have been a couple of times I thought I would like being with a particular star (I'll never divulge names ), but never wanted to be one. I may be one of the few people who feel compassion for superstars, as I think most are really miserable, lonely, and unstable due to their lifestyles being so extreme. I would like the talent to be agreat singer or musician, but just couldn't handle the celebrity part of it 24 x 7.

I never wanted to be famous but I did want to perform. I wanted to be part of a band, like a touring musician or something. I wanted to be a songwriter in the background. My family greatly discouraged me from that and I was enough of a doormat that I took their advice. One of my largest regrets in life is not telling them to fuck off, and just moving to LA or Nashville to pursue that. So maybe fame would've come with being a songwriter, or touring musician. Whether it did or not, I would've been living what I wanted and had a very nice bank account over time.

Who didn't, of course I did, now my dream is to become a dictator and take over my country.

Only maybe as a preteen.

But soon realized I would hate fame. I see nothing appealing about it except maybe as an avenue to make money. But even then, the cost is too much.

Preach to the choir sister.

Fuck yeah ! I wanted to be a actor, or a musician, or a writer, or a bodybuilder. Life though(more like poor choices), put a stop to all that shit quick. I'm just glad i survived this long. been after me for a minute now.

Oh well, what could have been.

It’s never too late to try something musical as a second career

You mean that? Like, even hobby-like?

I don't see why you have to be a dictator for that...? Like, why can't you rule democractically...?

Not really. Creativity and freedom are much more attractive things to me than fame and money, once the basics are taken care of. And I've been fortunate enough to have had a decent amount of both in my life. My personality lends itself best to being in the background, anyway. Even a moderate level of fame would've been difficult for me to handle, I think.

I've auditioned (unsuccessfully) in the past for a TV dating show, which is probably the closest I'd have come to becoming 'famous famous' (although even then, it would've been doubtful, lol). But even those days are probably past me now.

Not ever.

Not a "star" per se, but rather an internationally reknown architect or designer.

Tom Cruise seems to handle it well enough but Britney Spears clearly has deep, deep issues. And until you're in a position where photographers are following your every move and "journalists" are making up all kinds of stories about you there's no way of knowing if you'd be able to live like that.

Is Britney Spears still really famous?? Her last song was probably 15 years ago or something, woznit?
...I donno how many issues she has/n't got, what she HAS got are....KIDS!! Her older kid is probably about the age SHE was when she was swinging her pigtails around in her school corridor...

What would you have liked to have designed?

A skyscraper.

That would have been my ideal legacy. Something to leave my mark in the skyline of a city.

I love to walk NYC and critique the new buildings.

I wanted to be Cher. She was exotic, fun and I loved her hair, makeup and clothes. She was wild and fun and never gave a shit what anyone thought of her.

Honey, there's no good time like watching a vintage Cher video from the 70s!!!! She was such an "it girl" ! I came to find out years later as an adult that even before Bob Mackie, Cher was a fashion muse, just as as these young girls we see today. The legendary fashion editor (and Met Ball founder) Diana Vreeland was crazy about Cher in the 60s and early 70s: Vreeland used to drape her in all manner of designer frocks for fashion spreads in Vogue and other Conde Nast publications. Vreeland loved the model body, the long mane, the eyes, all of it. I saw Cher at Walgreens once in the late 90s...and I tell you she was not only thinner than she looks on film (because it's true the camera always adds 10lbs), but she was so perfectly "preserved" she looked like a porcelain doll. And I mean that in GOOD way. I don't know who her surgeon is, but he's done just the right amount of tweaks through the years that Cher never turned into The Cat Lady, thank God.

Cher is an awesome woman! I love her and I love how outspoken she is and always has been. There was no one quite like her in the 70's. I used to buy every single magazine that had a picture of her on the cover and there were many back in those days. I've always wished she would act more, but she has managed her money extremely well and hasn't had to worry about working much. Her concert tours have earned her millions.
