Now we attend to The recent words of the “Greatest of All Time” about how his followers are treated in The Breakfast Club:

Life and work

I have had the luxury of a lot of experience with that. If you had asked me ten years ago, my answer would have been different. When you start and you are trying to win followers, You want to give everything you can. You get that fans base and realize that, in order to give, you have basically lost the luxury of anonymity. That is a bit frustrating. I went through a stage where I thought that work was different from my personal life, that I was a person here and worked there, and that people should leave me alone. That perspective did not work.

This business has been very generous with me. I am a boy from a small town named West Newbury, who did not grow much, and now life has given me a lot of opportunities. The cost of that is that your work is absorbed by many people and affects their lives. I am not perfect, because there are days when I wake up in a bad mood and days in which I have little patience. But if there is something that I am really trying to focus, it is to have a second of empathy with each person«.

Empathy, the key

«There is a difference between fans and those looking for collection objects, because that is already a business. Even those people, who do not necessarily care about you, your work can help them financially. Before I thought, 'Man, I'm just going to sign this and you're going to sell it.' But, hey, my work can be a vehicle to help someone. Maybe that is my way of returning something. Maybe one firm at the same time, can help someone to have a better life. I try to maintain that mentality. Of course, it's fucking difficult.

«Sometimes I am with my wife and I am worried about their safety because people do not pay attention, they just want what they are looking for. They do not have much empathy for the entire context. Sometimes, with so many camera flashes, people do not care about the security of the situation and who can be injured; They just want their photo to sell it. I am aware of that and I try to be comprehensive. Brother, I'm really trying to focus on a conversation at the same time ».

A limit moment

About nights ago three or four people followed me. I was in the car and told the driver, 'Change lane'. We change the lane, and the three cars too. Change lane again, well, stop. The guys stop, get off, and say: 'Friends, get off the car'. The third car, a guy stands there. I told my wife to stay in the car and tell them: 'Boys, come, get off the car'. I told them: 'What they are doing is wrong, they know it.' The car driver says: 'Yes, I know.' I told them: 'Okay, listen. They want autographs, I understand. They did not have the opportunity to get them. This is what I'm going to do. I will sign their things, but please, they know that what they are doing is wrong. They just go up to the car and turn around, because we are about to reach a situation where I will have to make a decision that will put everything under the magnifying glass. If they harass me, I have to involve the authorities. And I don't know how that will end. Here is what they want. ' Normally, I would be furious. But I breathed deeply, I gave them what they wanted, and told them: 'Can we reach an agreement? You turn around, all happy. ' I have to say that I don't think that approach works 100% of the time, but they turned around and let me follow my way.”
