I'm a true believer that unless you're Prince or Stevie Wonder - and even Prince is showing that he needs help - not everybody can produce themselves. I'm definitely not that person.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most people don't have so much talent that they can become a success all their own. We all need people to help us and lift us up.
I think that's one of the only reasons God created celebrities. To help those who can't help themselves.
When you're a producer and an artist you're very critical of yourself. I like to produce other people, but I'm not that good at producing myself.
I'm not a great believer in self-help.
I once met a man who was a billionaire, and I said to him: 'Are you a self-made man?' - and he turned around and said: 'No man is self-made;' and certainly, if you want to make films or get into television or even theatre, the amount of help that you need, the amount of people who need to give you a helping hand is extraordinary.
I do believe in self-help.
When you grow up in the music industry, trying to be Britney Spears because that's what sells records and then you realize, 'All I have to do is be myself? I should have thought of that a long time ago,' it feels good to have success come from what's actually inside of you.
I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.
I believe that every person is born with talent.
You can't always be in awe of someone's talent, living with them.
