Nobody likes to be rejected, you know?

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 don't listen to the news or read newspapers. I don't know what's going on in this world, or why I should vote for George McGovern or Richard Nixon. I don't have enough time.
-
I understand the rock star deal having been one and still going out strapping my guitar on and performing. Now, I probably do 30 or 40 dates a year and I get to relive how I felt at 19 when I played in some really bad bands.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
You cannot make a teenage idol.
-
There's nothing wrong with becoming a role model, nothing wrong with inspiring people to become musicians, to become actors.
-
Every day is a blessing - not to get too schmaltzy, but, really, it is.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I don't play nostalgia acts. I don't play nostalgia shows.
-
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.
-
Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.
-
Doing musicals and theatrical productions, I never did any of my hits.
-
As a father, I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
If you put the talent of all my brothers together, they wouldn't add up to the talent that was in my father.
