Give me a Toyota Sequoia instead of a Rolls, where the papparazzi are taking shots of my crotch every time I step out onto the red carpet.

Give me a house in the country, instead of a mansion on acres and acres, where the helicopters are flying overhead, to catch me in my bathing suit.

Let me be able to take my kids to Chuck E. Cheese in peace, rather than be dining at Nobu in LA, just to see and be seen.

All the $ in the world isn't worth the loss of privacy. Of course, a little more $ would be nice...

I'll settle for a fulfilling 40 hour a week job where I can go to work M-F, afford a house, a decent car, and so on.

I don't need to be rich or filthy rich---just NORMAL again...

x2. Although I'd never want to be famous, I need to know your definition of comfortable so I can make an informed decision

I really wouldn't want to be rich and famous. I don't need the newest best car or biggest house. Comfortable would just be ducky.
