There are people who appear in the magazines and I don't know who they are. I've never seen anything they've done and their careers are over already. They're famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers, I think, take a long time to unfold.

The only people who have control over their careers are the ones you see on the covers of magazines. Everyone else is just plodding along making a living. The key is not to live over your means and overdo it.

No matter how famous and established they were or however blessed they were with great songs or long careers, if they lived alone, they lived alone. That's not the way I wanted to live prior to the tour or after.

TEENAGER's WISH
I wish adults could accept I’m intelligent and wise
I’m tired of my parents repeating lectures and advice
I wish my teacher knew, I hate doing so much homework
If I have to see anymore of these stupid tests, I think I will go berserk
I’m handling lots of stress as a student at this age
I feel like an animal, trapped in an interlocked cage
My parents want me to be a doctor or a lawyer
Because these careers have a lot of buyers
It seems, it doesn’t matter what you like any more
All that matter is which careers pays more
For right now, I don’t care what is going to be my major
I just want to be myself, an active and playful teenager

The coolest thing is that my sister and I, you know, we've done what a lot of people have not been able to do. Which is to have our own careers, together.
People don't choose their careers; they are engulfed by them.

During the time I was on The Hardy Boys, I was also watching other people's careers. I thought the next step was to be a movie star. I kept saying no to projects, and offers stopped coming in. I was no longer hot.

The whole point of a sacrifice is that you give up something you never really wanted in the first place. People are doing it around you all the time. They give up their careers, say - or their beliefs - or sex.

Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that's why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.

The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.
