Quote

My private life became public.

For most of my life, I did deliberately lead a private life and inadvertently led a public life.

I was never interested in being an overly public person.

I became so consumed with trying to live up to what the public expected that I lost myself. I don't know of anyone else who can say this.

I didn't want the public in my personal life at all - I thought that people might perceive me as too normal, and I'd lose that larger-than-life rock star persona. You've got to protect that!

I don't like to be in the public eye or talk about my private life.

I've never had a very great public life.

I hadn't planned on or expected to have a public dimension in my life.

I didn't like the nervous tension of being a public person.
