'Take the MJ songs off the album!'

What are you basing that on? Regardless of your thoughts about my script, they're making a sequel to Michael. My script is just his family saying that they're not why those films are watered down. - Given that my Beatles covers are apparently big news, wouldn't Sony want more covers? The right to do covers on social media, or release them for free, is mine. It's only if I was making a profit that there'd be a problem. That's what Apple Corps is for. - Criticising Taylor's new album isn't illegal either. You guys can't seem to decide whether to flatter me or sue me; that's not good. You can't force me to sign a contract. Everything that you're doing falls under one category: duress. Spamming me on Facebook is merely evidence that you're threatening me. If I was Sony, I'd be accepting my refusal to be a Beatle for them. If I was producing Sunday In the Park With George, I'd be backing off. You might not care about the New Zealand election, but I do. I've spent three years on AMPP; I'm not giving up this close to the finish line.

Stop pidgeonholing me as a singer when I'm really a composer. I'm definitely better at the latter than the former, though my voice is pretty good. My musicals are good, and I'm working on three of them at the moment. I'm developing sketches for a symphony. - I particularly hate the idea that I have to return to tertiary study to write a symphony.

People typically commission those; Salina needs to stop saying I can't orchestrate. The NZSO needs to admit they tried to nick 'Oro's Dances and apologise. If Victoria University of Wellington harassed me into the hospital last year, give up. You're not legally able to persuade me; I've refused.
