The question of freedom is a question of subjectivity, a question of how we must see our own situation . . . Whether in fact we can do it is not the question of freedom. It is rather a question of will.

Never in my life have I ever seen such a mess; Why do you say everything as if you were a thief? Like what you stole has no value, And like what you preach is far from belief?"
And with a wave of his jewel-encrusted hand Across a glittering Hollywood scene, He said: "You've got to learn how to disappear In the silk and amphetamines."
A real showman knows how to disappear in the spotlight.
