In 1983 I'd had a number one. I'd sold 6 million copies of Total Eclipse Of The Heart all over the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I would sell 2 million records, a million went to teenagers and a million went to the adults. So, when The Beatles became so popular, I lost a million to the teenagers, but I was still selling a million to the adults.
I probably did pack a lifetime's work into the 1980s.
Well, you know, back then there wasn't many albums, it was the singles. You sold singles.
Honestly, a lot of people thought that I was on top of the world selling so many millions of records, and that this is the life that everybody would want, but I never got to enjoy any of my success.
I was a 10 million-plus selling artist.
I would have been very happy just working from job to job, paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.
But I remember we sold nearly 18,000 records in one day.
My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.
I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five, thirty years earlier, I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.
My dad has a really great record collection that basically went up to the year I was born: 1984.
