I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

I don't think I was ever particularly mean. I can certainly think of some idiotic exchanges I've had. I was accused of destroying pop music, like Wagner destroyed opera - a guy in Germany started ranting that at me.

Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal. I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel.

The battle with the bottle is nothing so novel.
