All that stuff - 'teen idol' - that wasn't me.

I was a teen idol and that has a short shelf life.

You cannot make a teenage idol.

They were marketing me as a teen idol, when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time.

Just do me a favor. Don't call me 'former teen heartthrob,' okay? It's as if they were constantly discussing your second year of college. I'm not back there anymore. I'm living in the present.

I didn't quite know he was going to turn into the teen idol he turned into. Back then, he had like a flat top, like he had when he first came over here. I never envisioned him with long hair, but I'm glad he did it because it made him kind of famous.
