The whole celebrity thing never is normal and I think the fuller your life is, the more you are able to just kind of call a truce with it on a good day.

People don't find the personal lives of people with much, much more power than any celebrity would have - don't find their personal lives interesting.

It's hard to find normal celebrities.

You know, just in terms of having to have a life on the road, you know, having the celebrity aspect be a burden for my family, friends and extended family.

To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way.

Even a modicum of celebrity is hard to deal with. You see it with actors and directors all the time.

But I've always felt a need to have a life which is completely separate - at least as far as possible - from the kind of illusory lifestyle that comes with being a celebrity.

I think that part of the difficulty of being a celebrity is that you may have to hide what you're feeling and you aren't totally allowed to be yourself, because you're in the public eye.

This obsession with celebrity culture is really unhealthy. I don't want to live my life like that, and I don't want to be a typical pop star.

Celebrity is okay as long as you know it's not about you.
