As a kid growing up in California, I collected autographs.
I'm not here to perform. I'm here to sign autographs. You have to wait till I come back with my own hand.
Kids are always going to be around people who break world records and that. It's how you deal with that. I never let it get in the way of my race, but I am always more than happy after the race to sign autographs and have photos.
You have no idea the people I meet when I do these Comic-Cons. When I go sign autographs and say hello to people, I see everything!
Somebody will come up to me after a show and have me sign their arm, and the next time I see them my autograph has been permanently inscribed on their arm.
My father sang well, and he was a handsome man. When he walked down the street, people sometimes mistook him for Cary Grant and asked for his autograph.
I think any movie star who refuses autographs has a hell of a nerve.
When I'm introduced at invited lectures at other universities, the students place a Bobo doll by the lectern. From time to time, I have been asked to autograph one. The Bobo doll has achieved stardom in psychological circles.
Nobody cares about your autograph. There are cameras everywhere, and there are media outlets for them to 'file their story'.
When I was eight, I told my best friend I got a Hilary Duff autograph, but I just signed it myself.
