He wants The Precious, of course. But then what? What would he do with it? Go back to Moria or wherever and catch fish whenever? He has no ambition, no goals, beyond being restored to his Precious, as far as we know, for his whole career. Saruman, on the other hand, was more into world domination. So, Gollum can respond to someone pitying his poor excuse for a life, because deep down he knows what a miserable existance it was, even with The Precious in his possession. Saruman has a totally different set of goals and objectives, not to mention where he believes he belongs in the overall scheme of things. So, it's not odd at all that their response to an offer of pity is vastly different.

Good point - maybe give Saruman few miserable centuries & he'd be more ready to be pitied //
