tho' I battled blind
love is a fate resigned
memories mar my mind
love it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
and laughed at by the Gods
and now the final frame
Love is a losing game

I think you need an attitude like that to survive. Everyone wants to eat you alive.
Hell, even outside of showbizness you need it.

That's true.In pop music,you really have to believe that you're the best.A big ego is almost mandatory.

Has anyone of you noticed that neither Michael or Prince are on that list? As weird or as crazy as some make them out to be, they wouldn't be that crazy to make off the wall comments.

and

saying something to the extent of that prince needs him more then the otherway around and

A cocky quotes list is SO incomplete without Marvin Gaye lol God rest that brotha's soul, he was the COCKIEST of them all.

But then again, all genius artists are guilty of the same charge; self-importance.

"I got the baddest cool
Could never be the fool
The ladies WAIT to get down with me
The love I make SUPERB
To doubt me is ABSURD
The latest and the GREATEST, you see
I wanna have your spot
And more than what you got
I bought the baddest house I could find
Oh it must be said: I'm greatest in the bed
And when I love a lady she's mine
I know I'm really HOT
My diamonds shine a LOT
Check out this here 450 SLC, baby!
I'm what it's all about...
Ego tripping out..."
- Marvin Gaye, "Ego Tripping Out" (1979) evillol
