It's incredible when I'm out in these towns. I have people telling me they were waiting for hours just to meet me and get my autograph. I feel so guilty. I always feel like I have to give them more than just Kato Kaelin.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's nice when people want your autograph, but it's a little strange because I never expected it.
The only time I mind autographs is when I'm out with my family. You're trying to enjoy kids and grandkids and here comes a swarm, and there go your wife and kids. That happens to every celebrity. It's the price you pay.
The fact that people actually want my autograph is crazy.
It does get crazy sometimes, but I've never complained about stopping to give autographs or anything like that.
I don't even like to go out onto the streets sometimes because I can't get anything done. People want pictures and autographs all the time.
I usually don't mind giving autographs, but when hundreds of folks with paper and pen start coming at you, it's time to seek shelter.
I love being able to sign autographs when I get that extra free time after a round just to be able to give back to the fans.
To be honest, I still feel like I haven't scratched the surface of where I want to be. If someone asked me for an autograph, I'd be like, 'Me? I haven't done anything yet !' I have much more to offer the world.
It's very rare that I get stopped or get asked for an autograph or anything - none of which I mind - but people don't really care that much.
I truly respect the people who are working. If they want an autograph from Patti LaBelle, they are going to get it. I have never separated myself from them. I never think you are better than the next one.
