Posterity is something I'm a big fan of because that's how you leave your legacy. Not to sound pompous, but just to be truthful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's humbling and enthralling to know your legacy when you're alive.
We are always doing something for posterity, but I would fain see posterity do something for us.
It's more important what you leave to people on this planet. I want my legacy to exist now, currently, not after I'm gone.
It's hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I'm long gone.
I don't have a big thing about leaving my mark or being historic.
I don't fight for my legacy or for the glory or anything like that. The feedback from the fans is nice, don't get me wrong; it's a good feeling having them - you on their side. But I'm motivated by making a good living for my family, and that's what made me get serious about this.
Why should I care about posterity? What's posterity ever done for me?
With sincere modesty, if there is such a thing, I have never thought of legacy at all. I am always grateful if people like what I have done. A legacy is something no one can forsee.
I'm not looking for a legacy, and you'll never shut up the critics. I've been around 50 years. When you're a catalyst for change, you make enemies - and I'm proud of the ones I've got.
Why should we put ourselves out of our way to do anything for posterity? For what has posterity ever done for us?
