Just getting your name in the papers and having people talk about you is not always a good thing.

Anybody who carries the albatross of that teen-idol thing - well, people tend to look and say: 'There he is again. It's Fabian.' It's a very tough thing. Everybody wants to discount your talent because you have become so... I don't know... a god, if you will.

I've been able to go on and have a successful career on Broadway and certainly the last five years in Las Vegas have been amazing.
David Cassidy -
What happened to me during the last couple of years of 'The Partridge Family' was I became so famous and so isolated and so unhappy that I had to do anything I could to end it.
David Cassidy -
I bought my first horse when I was 15. I always loved racing and I started studying about breeding and I've been doing it now for 30 years, so I have some credibility.
David Cassidy -
Having all that - the fame and adulation and women and all that stuff they talk about - doesn't make you happy. You have to make yourself happy.
David Cassidy -
There's nothing wrong with becoming a role model, nothing wrong with inspiring people to become musicians, to become actors.
David Cassidy -
My mom used to take me down to the Jersey Shore when I was 7, 8, 9 years old. I can remember being down in that area - Belmar, Seaside Heights, Asbury Park and all those places that I went back and revisited.

When you have had the kind of fame I had, I was always hounded by the media and I lived a very isolated life. Now it's even more difficult. The world has changed dramatically.
David Cassidy -
You cannot make a teenage idol.

Acting was absolutely my first focus. I graduated high school in L.A., and two weeks afterwards, I moved to New York City, and I got a job in a mail room, and I got an agent, doing what actors do, with head shots and all the rest of it.
David Cassidy -
Until I really dealt with a lot of the demons in my life - the fear and self-doubt and unresolved issues with my old man - I could never feel fulfilled and happy. I would wake up in the morning and feel bad.
David Cassidy -
I don't play nostalgia acts. I don't play nostalgia shows.
David Cassidy -
Once they began doing 'Celebrity Apprentice,' apparently the audience wasn't that keen on the ordinary apprentice. That is probably the best indictment with our fascination with celebrity in our culture, which drives me crazy.

-
It's always nice to have people love you, but I'd just like to be judged fairly.
David Cassidy -
I was silver-white by the time I was 35, but having grey hair makes me look washed out. My wife and son have both said that grey hair doesn't suit me because I have a boyish face.
David Cassidy -
I played in garage bands and rock and roll bands when I was in junior high and high school and saw some of the great talents of all time in the local area where I lived.
David Cassidy -
Every day is a blessing - not to get too schmaltzy, but, really, it is.
David Cassidy -
Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.
David Cassidy -
I've always had a love for horses since I was really young. When I was 5 years old, the only thing that made me happy was when they'd take me out and give me pony rides.
David Cassidy
-
I hitched up to Haight-Ashbury in the Summer of Love, you know? And I was very much politically aligned with that whole mentality, the whole ideology of that generation, the music, the culture, the behavior.
David Cassidy -
It's been the work that has carried me and I never wanted to rest on my laurels or go back and do what I done before.
David Cassidy -
Doing musicals and theatrical productions, I never did any of my hits.
David Cassidy -
It's not that my father didn't love me, it's just that he wasn't capable of consistently being there. His mood swings were gigantic.
