Geniuses are not always pleasant people.
Actresses are nightmares. I don't hang out with any of them. That's a problem with my profession. I try not to be like an actress.
A lot of musicians are really hard to deal with. They aren't as smart as me.
Ill natures, the more you aske them, the more they stick.
I had a fantastic stepfather, so I didn't resent him in any way, although I was unnerved by him. He was not an easy man, although he was incredibly charming, gregarious, and fun.
Some [actors] are really a pain in the ass today. I held out on getting an assistant forever because I didn't want to seem demanding... or like a pain in the ass. I didn't want someone working for me to hate me.

I don't want names, but you have to have bumped into some pretty nasty artists with pretty big chips on their shoulders. I'd like an anecdote about the most obnoxious personality you had the misfortune of working with, albeit as anonymously as you feel comfortable divulging.
Life's too short to be working with divas.
