If I had to choose between being known for who I am (which, I assure you, would lead to controversy rather than admiration) and being adored mindlessly, I'd choose the former. That's just me, and I'm quite happy having neither because it keeps my life peaceful.

This guy's parents fucked up if he really believes he can "have it all". Changing the world and being loved by the world (while living) are mutually exclusive. Jesus got crucified, Lincoln got shot, and so on and so on...
