The worst gift that I ever gave a girl was a suitcase for Christmas. As in, 'I can't think of anything to give you, but here's a new suitcase.' Afterward, I was like, 'What were you thinking, idiot?'
I've always argued, unsuccessfully, that there's no point in giving money to the arts unless you educate people in them.
I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of.
