I created Evel Knievel, and then he sort of got away from me.

I didn't handle fame very well at first. I got a little resentful.

Fame is a curse... it was the worst phase of my life, which I thank God I'll never have to go through again.

I had all the fame anyone could want, and I ran away from it.

My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.

I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?

I feel like fame is wasted on me.

Fame is something I think happens as a result of trying to do good work. If you're trying to be famous, your work usually suffers.

That's what fame does to you. You acquire another self.
