Quote

There's something advantageous about having people underestimate your intellect, insomuch as a lot of things are revealed to you. They assume you don't know what you're talking about, then all of a sudden, you do. And the next thing you know, you have information you wouldn't normally have.

If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

The worst thing you could ever get is people who think they know everything.

If you're creating anything at all, it's really dangerous to care about what people think.

Information can bring you choices and choices bring power - educate yourself about your options and choices. Never remain in the dark of ignorance.

If you destroy the credibility of those people or institutions that could undermine your own, you create an opportunity for your voice, however irresponsible or misleading it may be, to gain traction.

The worst thing about being famous is the invasion of your privacy.

So many people had been asking me to write an autobiography, or threatening to write my biography without any input from me, that I thought I'd better tell my story before other people told it for me.

Anytime you work with materials that are deep parts of yourself, you feel revulsion at showing things about yourself that you don't want people to know.

The worst thing would be for them to find out who I really am, because that's where I hide.
