There is no definitive guidebook on how to pick the right partner, and even if there were, I'm way too dumb to write it.
My experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren't so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more.
I am not going to be dictated to by fans, certainly. I am dictated enough to by my record company to last me a million years.
