I always was fascinated by neat nicknames.

I become quite obsessive when I get into something.

I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.

When I was old enough to change my name, I changed it to Mr. T so that the first word out of someone's mouth was 'Mister,' a sign of respect.

I've been called a lot of things.

I'm kind of an obsessive-compulsive person, like, neat obsessive.

I like being called 'Mr. Freeman' occasionally.

I have to admit: I have been known to be obsessively neat and like things arranged 'just so.'

I don't think it's anything you ever get used to... for many years, I could never sort of put my name in the same sort of category as the word 'famous' or anything like that. And I just found it very uncomfortable... if you get used to it, then something must be wrong.

I also found being called Sir rather silly.
