I realize myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use.

I'm trying to do it my way. For me to be happy in the business means I have to do it myself.

I'm going to become the best-remembered artist of my generation by staying away from the party as often as possible. That way, people will remember me, not because I was great, but because I didn't cause them any later embarrassment.
