Just do me a favor. Don't call me 'former teen heartthrob,' okay? It's as if they were constantly discussing your second year of college. I'm not back there anymore. I'm living in the present.
From David Cassidy
I just want to continue to produce good work. I don't want to do junk.
I don't want to end up being some joke on a bad TV series.
Anybody who carries the albatross of that teen-idol thing - well, people tend to look and say: 'There he is again. It's Fabian.' It's a very tough thing. Everybody wants to discount your talent because you have become so... I don't know... a god, if you will.
If people respond to the songs, whether they love you or hate you, then you've really done your job. You've evoked something.
It wasn't until later when people became aware of my writing that I would hear begrudgingly, 'You know, you really are a pretty good singer, I guess.'
It's always nice to have people love you, but I'd just like to be judged fairly.
There's nothing wrong with becoming a role model, nothing wrong with inspiring people to become musicians, to become actors.
