I haven't paid for anything since I became famous.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you become famous and don't have a live show to back it up, they're not going to pay you any money.
I didn't get paid for performances most of my life. If I did, I would be billionaire now, and I'm not.
I've had money thrown onstage, dollars, couple of five-dollar bills. I took the money, but it wasn't much.
I thought that somehow your life would be much different when you're famous... and it's not. You just buy more stuff.
Fame, I have already. Now I need the money.
Personally, I've never done things just for money.
I honestly don't need much money. People love to buy me drinks. Hostesses love to feed me. Famous artists lavish me with expensive artworks, and heiresses do the same with jewels that I promptly lose.
It never dawned on me at any particular time of my life that people are paid tremendous money to sing.
I never had huge amounts of money when I was young. I had huge amounts of fame, and I always had the sense of labor and recompense. I always said I don't want to work for pay, but I want to get paid for my song.
If you're famous, you're not free.
