People in the business will stay with you through drugs and alcohol and divorces and insanity and everything else, but you have a failure, pal, and they don't want to know nothing about you!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If people like you, they'll listen to you, but if they trust you, they'll do business with you.
People will have an altered idea of who you are unless they really take time to get to know you, which of course they don't. They just get what they see, and they take that to the bank.
One thing is certain in business. You and everyone around you will make mistakes.
Well, it is certainly not by choice at this time you don't see or hear about me. This business is very unpredictable. A lot of it is luck and being in the right place at the right time.
When people talk about my business, my life, I'm really private. Maybe someone thinks I'm arrogant or something, but it's just me.
In my industry, everybody wants to know everything about you, and it's just dumb. I think the only way of maintaining some of that mystique is by not giving away too much about yourself. It has served me well so far. I never want to feel up for grabs.
You have to have a strong sense of self in this business - otherwise they're going to spit you out.
I know from my own experience and from other people in the business that when you come from a place where nobody knew who you were and then there is this sudden shift to where everybody now knows who you are, there's an adjustment that you have to make.
People can talk all they want; that doesn't affect how I go about my business.
If bad things are going to be said about me, I have to bear that. If I don't understand that it's part of being in show business, then I'd better go work in a bank.
