answer destroy hated health life ruin
I was being hated for about 40 or 50 years by the whole world, but it did not destroy me, and it did not ruin my health. And the reason is because I just did not answer them. I had my own life.

My career? I never think of it as a 'career.' Art and music and all those things that I'm creating are just part of me.
